    The Carnivore Diet

    Motodad1776 nailed it. Not only is most food subject to injections, radiated, and exposed to contaminated food and water sources, but it may also be from another country where heavy metals and other US banned chemicals are present and exceed safe levels as defined in US regulations. If you...

    The true sign of a craftsman is his/her ability to be successful with whatever tools they have. Those look MARVELOUS!!! Next time you want to experiment, remember to invite your online friends, lol.

    RT-1250 RT1250 WITH SMOKE BOX

    In theory it will increase the quantity of smoke, in reality, the top shelf will probably have a better smoke profile than the lower shelf depending on the volume of smoke being greater than the smoker’s ability to exhaust the chamber’s content. The same principle applies to a smoke tube. In...

    MoSmoke, Your chicken looks fantastic. I am sure it was a treat for the diners. I often have the same challenge and started using my infrared side burner from my gasser to crisp up the skin. I have tried and have a 50% chance of using the smoker for the same results, but consistently hit the...

    Best Liverwurst (Westcoast)

    Roanie…, If you ever have a chance, I recommend the Million Dollar Highway in Colorado. I think it is also known as the “55”. It has spectacular views and has many places where your tactical skills are the only thing that will make your trip successful if you like a challenge during the winter...

    Best Liverwurst (Westcoast)

    If you are ever in NC, there are several producers that I have used. Neese’s is one of my faves. They have liver pudding, C-Loaf, and can also do liverwurst. I typically only recommend them if you are in the South East because their shipping costs are about 3 times the cost of the product so...

    Potential Problems Using RT-700 on a screened-in porch

    I don’t have mine under a cover but my friend did it with his unit. His ceiling is about 10 feet and after a full season of cooking the screen and surrounding wood in the ceiling started looking pretty grungy. The constant exposure to smoke tinted the screen material and the smell impregnated...

    Best Liverwurst (Westcoast)

    Roaniecowpony, It may not be convenient to your location but Mattern Sausage & Meats in Orange does traditional and custom grinds. I haven’t seen liverwurst at their location on Chapman Ave but it is worth giving them a call, especially if you have your own favorite recipe. If you want...

    I like this thread. Especially the “Mayo talk”. If you want to take your food (especially sandwiches) to the next level check out Kewpie Mayonnaise at your local grocery store. I’ve been using it for years and it can be dressed up to create really cool dipping sauces and custom condiments...

    RT-1250 Spare Parts on Hand?

    When I had problems with my Bull, they balked on the replacement. RT wanted me to measure the warpage to see if it was bad enough to contact or raise the bottom of the drip pan by more than a 1/2”. When I challenged the logic and potential impact to airflow, they conceded and sent me a new...

    Blackstone or comparable griddle owners here?

    TheRicker, Although I responded to you, the information was not exclusive to your B-Stone or situation. It was really for those that are trying to choose between the two primary solutions that are available. I saw your unit at a local store and it is every bit a griddle. If I came across...

    Sear grates opinions

    I have GGs on my Bull and my gasser. They work well for what they do but should not be used above ~600F. I also have a sear station for my gasser that heats to over 1000F in about 8 minutes and does an outstanding job of searing after a low and slow cook. As an alternate solution I use a...

    Select Bear Mountain Pellets at Walmart

    As a test for anyone that can’t tell the difference in pellets, I offer up Mesquite. If you can’t tell Mesquite from Hickory, Pecan, or even fruit blended varieties, it is time to purchase from a better vendor. I have to assume my pallet is different than most as I can tell the difference in...

    Blackstone or comparable griddle owners here?

    I was watching the Masters and realized I didn’t post pictures from Smoke Queen’s. Here are a couple of their Family Style dishes. The tray with the pulled pork was about $124.00 feeds 4-6 and the one with a lot of Brisket was about $160.00 and serves 5-10. They obviously haven’t seen my...

    Blackstone or comparable griddle owners here?

    Motodad1776, I know you don’t like YTube but there is a fix for the wind problem. You can search Blackstone Windscreen. Or, you can go to your local 99 Cent store and get grill or table scrapers. It looks like a spatula without a handle and with a curved/rounded end that you hold. Place...

    RT-1070 Bull horns. Have you ever wondered why the bull horns on the grill are installed pointing in when bull horns always point outward.

    I know anatomically it would be correct to have them turned out but I can think of 2 reasons it would be incorrect for the RT smokers. The first is that you will potentially tweak your lid if you open it one handed as the stress load may be isolated to one side. The other reason would include...

    As discussed earlier, I didn’t do the cooking but had a treat. I visited a fairly new BBQ location called Queens in SoCal. Their location is in a neighborhood in Garden Grove which is interesting but should offer enough space if the neighbors don’t run them away with the sweet smells of...

    Trailblazer Tri-tip Santa Maria style

    I’m not doing the cooking but I’m at a new “spot” in Garden Grove California. Winnie ( the owner) has been on several TV competition shows. More info when they open. Here are some pre-food pics.

    RT-1250 Spare Parts on Hand?

    I typically keep “spares” for key and critical items. Fortunately, there are not as many wear items in the RTs compared to a typical gasser, I would offer the following: - Controller - Igniter - Probe - Heat deflector (although the cast iron seems more robust than the steel one that’s in my Bull...
