    Cleaning Grill Grates

    I cleaned and polished my RT590 today. Been a while since I cleaned it, and the grates were really greasy with lots of buildup. Soap and hot water weren`t getting it done so I decided to use my Weber Genesis to blast off the grates with high heat. I let it ride up to 690 degrees for about 30...

    St. Louis Style Ribs

    Turned out very tender and had great color. Very happy with the smoke flavor my Rec Tec 590 gives the ribs. Seasoned 1 hour prior to smoking. Smoked @ 225° for 4 hours (B&B Hickory Pellets) Wrapped @ 225° for 2 hours (Brown Sugar, Butter, Honey) Rasberry-Peach BBQ Glaze applied and finished @...

    More Pork Belly

    Tried cooking pork belly a new way last night. Sliced about 3/8" and applied rub. Smoked @180 for 2 hours and then I applied a BBQ sauce and wrapped in foil pan for 1 hour @ 250 degrees. Took out of foil pan and put back on smoker for 15-20 minutes for BBQ sauce/glaze to set up. The fat was...

    Jalapeno Chicken Poppers

    I cook these about once a week. Not a big fan of the ones with cream cheese, so I try different things. I marinade the chicken breast for a day or 2 and freeze for later. Smoke @ 180 for about 1 hour and crank it up to 275 for 30 minutes. Gonna throw these on the smoker around 5:30 this...

    Just Another Brisket

    This was my largest brisket to ever smoke. It was 21 lbs. before trimming and about 15.5 lbs. after. It was also my first ever brisket to wrap with "pink butcher paper" instead of foil. It was choice instead of prime because that`s what I had in the freezer. Seasoned with kosher salt, coarse...

    Canadian Bacon

    This was my first attempt with Canadian bacon. Kroger had boneless pork loins on sale for .99 cents lb. so I pulled the trigger. I used the recipe from the AmazingRib.com website. I brined the pork for 8 days. I rinsed off and soaked in fresh water before smoking for 3.5 hours till an internal...

    Proper Brisket Slicing

    If you are slicing your brisket the direction of the Yellow lines , you are correct. If you are slicing the direction of the Black lines you are not doing it correctly. I like to remove most of the fat between the point and flat prior to cooking and then separate the two muscles before slicing...

    Temperature accuracy

    I did a little test after reading a few post about temperature accuracy on the controls vs. the real temperature on the grill grates. I took a calibrated remote temperature sensor and placed in the middle of my RT 590. I set it on extreme smoke /180 degrees and let it run for 1.5 hours. At first...

    More Pastrami

    Smoked a little pastrami on the REC TEC yesterday. Cooked 2 nice flats that weighted about 10.5 pounds. Came out with 7.2 pounds of sliced pastrami. I put in the fridge over night and sliced it today.

    Prime Time Brisket

    Smoked this 12+ lb. prime brisket on the Recteq for 14 hours. It started out weighing a little over 17 and I trimmed off 4-5 lbs. before tossing it on the smoker. This was my 2nd brisket on my pellet smoker and it did not have as much smoke flavor as the first one I smoked about 6 months ago. It...

    Burger Night

    I did not cook this burger on my RT 590 but I did smoke the bacon on it a while back. I hadn`t fired up the Blackstone griddle in a while, so I made some of my brisket H.B. patties that I grind and heated it up. I added some jalapeno muenster cheese, my home made bacon, sliced avocado, lettuce...

    Chuck Roast Burnt Ends

    I finally cooked my first(2) chuck roast for burnt ends today. They are not nearly as good as brisket burnt ends. They were tender but just not the same taste. I ended up chopping them and adding some of my homemade BBQ sauce for chopped beef sandwiches. Even the fat renders totally different...

    Pastrami on rye. AKA "The Ruben"

    I brined a brisket for 9 days while we were in Arkansas about a month ago. When we got back home I smoked it in my RT-590 for Pastrami sandwiches. Now I am reaping the fruits of my labor. This one is on rye bread with homemade Russian dressing, swiss cheese, Bavarian Sauerkraut, bacon and...

    Poultry Chicken Dumplings

    This is non-Recteq related but I still wanted to post. Its the time of year when we start eating those foods that we eat when the weather cools off. This was my first cool weather comfort food of the year. Chicken and Dumplings is one of my favorite. I have been using Paula Dean`s recipe...

    RT-590 meatloaf

    First meatloaf I ever smoked. It turned out pretty good. 3 hours on the Recteq 590 and let it sit for about 20 minutes. I basted it with bbq sauce for the last 30 minutes. I made 2 small loafs instead of one big one to reduce cooking time. Will do again for sure.

    Dry Aged ??

    Hatch red chilis. These have been hanging and drying out for almost a year so I decided to grind them. Can`t wait to try them on something. They made about 5 ounces. I may throw them on the 590 for 15-20 minutes for a little more flavor.

    Hatch Chile Time !!!

    I roasted some Hatch Chile`s yesterday and made some sauce for enchilada`s. I was surprised at how hot it was after de-seeding and washing the inside out. This was my first time using them so I really did not know what to expect. They did have a good flavor on the enchiladas, I just had to use...
