Not sure what to call the small rubber cover that goes over the probe receptacle…but mine just broke off. Is there a replacement? Or does this fall under the don’t worry about it category? Thanks
I guess my thoughts are pretty much summed up by “if I wanted a Traeger I would have bought one.” That’s not what appealed to me initially and can assure you my next pellet grill won’t be a recteq
Live North of the City and keep my pellets in sealed 5 gallon buckets inside my garage which is not heated. Never had any issues so far! Like others said as long as they don’t get wet you should be good to go. Enjoy.
Cheap or not $9.99/lb for a brisket at Costco is a non-starter for me. To those that say it doesn’t matter....good for you. But my income isn’t going to go up fast enough to make up for the big wet bite being taken out of my a$$ every time I turnaround.
I bought the 700 last May & as soon as I get moved into the new house this summer I’m ordering the BFG. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts once you get it!

I literally laughed out loud on the “wondering why we’re eating at 11:00 at night” comment. I certainly have been there before...many times. Good stuff.
I won’t be much use on the butcher paper as I haven’t used it before. Although I’m going to give it a go this weekend to experiment with it.
I haven’t gone six hours in a cooler, but I have gone four for sure and the brisket was still really good...But that was wrapped in foil. I wonder if the...
Great stuff!! Appreciate all the feedback and ideas. Ordered some butcher paper and going to experiment with that this next weekend. But man do I love the drippings too...and not sure how that’s gonna work with the paper. Nothing ventured nothing gained I suppose.
