    Signals vs. Fireboard 2

    Yes, most definitely. I’ve had to do it when I forgot to charge it before smoking a brisket.

    Bull BFG auger motor in the RT-700. It's awesome!

    I, too, am waiting anxiously with my mouse over the Auger Motor... Another thing I didn't know I needed. This forum is proving to almost as expensive as my Tundra forum. I'm living in the land of Blue Bell (the original factory is about an hour away) and was a HUGE Blue Bell fan until I had...

    Bull Tough Brisket

    Stampede Is this what I did wrong? Brisket

    I was told by a butcher at Costco that you can store a vacuumed sealed packer in the fridge for a month or so without worry. I'm sure Sams are the same. I'm one of the high temp brisket cookers. I cook at 275, fat side down and after the stall and wrap, I bump it up to 295 until the internal...

    Bull Just Ordered the RT-700

    Congratulations - it was like Christmas when UPS dropped mine off. The UPS driver was almost as excited as I was.

    Bull New Beginnings

    Sorry for the delay - bought a new Canon camera and have been busy reading up on it. I believe I've hit that point in life where technology is officially going over my head. Now I can relate to my parents when they always had me set the VCR clock... The Signals is both wifi and bluetooth. I...

    Bull New Beginnings

    Welcome from Smithville! I only have a few answers: 3. I've only been using RecTeq pellets (I think they are made by "Cookin Pellets") but they have been outstanding. 4. I bought the competition cart and love it. I then turned my leftover legs into a cart. 5. I bought a ThermoWorks Signals and...

    Greetings peeps!

    I live a few hours south of you in Smithville - I leave my pellets in and just add to them when I need to. When I'm not using it, the Bull is under a covered porch. I've had no problems with the pellets. Welcome aboard and thank you for your service!

    Bull Previously burnt

    Good point! When I bought mine, they had a deal where I got the comp cart for 50% off, so in my mind, that was a sale. It was really hard to not get the Yoder - I actually was losing sleep over it and driving my wife nuts. In the end, the price of the RecTeq was just too hard to pass up. So...

    Bull Previously burnt

    I went back and forth between the RecTeq and a Yoder. After contacting a local Yoder dealer only to have him laugh when I asked if they ever went on sale, and then doing the math, the RT-700 came out on top. Then I found out RecTeq has a Military/Veteran discount on their accessories. My...

    Bull What am I doing wrong?

    I wrap my brisket after I get out of the stall - usually at around 170-175. While it's in the stall, I'm spritzing with water every 30 minutes to help with the bark formation.

    Bull What am I doing wrong?

    What he said! I read Meatheads book and then Franklins as I was waiting for my Bull to arrive. I scrapped Meathead and have stuck with Franklin. Mostly because I'm impatient and what Franklin says about smoking makes sense and it's a hell of a lot faster. My results have been great - near...

    Fireboard 2 Experience thus Far

    I like it a lot. I did blow my ambient air probe because I was trying to rearrange my rib set up (bought them from Costco and didn't realize it was a three-pack) and I caught the probe wire, it pulled out of it's holder and the tip touched the grates. Other than that, it's worked really well...

    Bull Confusing Cooking Experience - opinions wanted

    I may have to talk to RecTeq - my grill can run 20 degrees over/under what my Signals is telling me. It's frustrating because I never seem to be able to "dial it in." I'm going to try to calibrate one more time before I get in touch with them.

    Bull Controller pairing problem and customer service.

    I had to take the optional "Guest Network" and make it 2.4. That was my workaround.
