Thanks for the tips. I may have to try extreme smoke like you suggested and then crank it. I’m a bit of lazy BBQer as well and I’m kicking my self for not throwing them on the gassed to finish them off. Cook and learn.
Definitely needs some work. They were juicy and had great flavor but the skin wasn’t crispy. I was cooking some breast as well (roommate doesn’t like meat on a bone), and was worried about overcooking them. I should have pulled them and left the wings on at 450 for longer. That’s they fun in...
Thanks for the tip. I’ve been reading the posts and I’m starting them at 250. Once they’re up to temp I’m going to crank the heat to 450, maybe hotter, to crisp them up.
Thanks for the tip! As I was putting it together I had that thought but didn't follow through. I may try flipping it this weekend. Hopefully I can get the shelf out and back in again without putting the smoker on its side. I really don't want to clean out all of the pellets. :LOL::ROFLMAO:
RT-590 arrived today. Got it put together and did the initial burn in. I did not plan very well and don't have anything ready for my first cook. Work tomorrow so it looks like Saturday will be my first cook. This is my first smoker of any kind but I'm ready for the adventure.
I just purchased the Stampede and it's on its way to California via FEDEX Freight. I'm typically not a worry wort but I am concerned now. I will definitely make sure the delivery driver sticks around for an inspection. Sorry that you've had to deal with this, twice. Good luck and fingers crossed...
