Oh…I didn’t mean to imply I never smoke brisket or other meats. It’s just my bride sometimes wants beef/meat without the smoke. Women are from Venus…Men are from Mars. 😊

On rib roasts I do something similar. I open one or two packets of Lipton Beefy Onion Soup mix and make a paste by mixing in some olive oil. I spread that on top and roast it. It’s a fave at my house. I sometimes add some finely chopped herbage such as rosemary.

I’m going to go out on a limb and ”hypothesize” (big word for me) that the physical structure of the various pellet grills and, mostly, how they vent, may be a factor in the “lid pop phenomenon”. I’m not sure I’ve heard of anyone without a smokestack like those on a 700, for example...

Looks absolutely delicious! And I can’t think of a better wine to have with it.

Nope. It reduces the rate at which it feeds pellets into the firebox. Fan stays on to keep the fire burn at a consistent rate. And I’m referring strictly to what it does during cooking. Shutdown sequences are different.

Has there been any changes to your home Internet? New cable modem? Switched to cellular home internet?

I looked at my CHS Costco Thursday. They had a good selection of “choice” briskets. I think it was $3.99/lb. They had three “prime” briskets for $5.49/lb…if I remember correctly. With my limited experience trimming brisket, once, I felt like I trimmed a good bit off it. I look at those...

I’m in CHS. I found this at one of our regional grocery stores. But the product is from Wisconsin.

Here’s what I have on-hand. I like it.

In spite of someone pointing out to me that RT startup procedures say the lid can be closed, I have always started my wood pellet grills (over 15 years) with the lid open. I’ve never encountered “lid pop”. I power on my pellet grill with the lid open and temp set to 200F. Within 3 - 4...

I do have some Loc-Tite I use. I should’ve mentioned that.

A nice local butcher shop has prime grade whole briskets for $7/lb and grass-fed Wagyu briskets for $12/lb. Are those prices anywhere in the realm of reasonable?

I’m not arguing your point but I’ve taken my horns/handles off twice, with the gasket, and haven’t had an issue. They are machine threaded bolts/screws and I always start with a counterclockwise turn till I hear a click then start turning clockwise a few turns with my fingers to make sure it’s...

I have not seen that happen. But I’ve not done any firmware updates on my RT-700. (I don’t plan to as long as i don’t have any problems in how it operates.)

@ringosmoke…in my experience with my 700 cover, my most consistent success has been lifting it up from the controller board/shelf end first…and getting it over that corner of the hopper lid first. Then I work my way lifting the middle and then the smokestack end last. I put it on in the...

If it’s raining, I’ve used mine on my screened porch. But it has a 9’ or 10’ ceiling. Plus, there is usually good air flow from the south side to the north side. My screened porch covers the area between my house and the detached garage. So it may be different than others. I think the...

For those that like/want to do something special for the military members and families in their communities, May is Military Appreciation Month. More info…https://www.military.com/military-appreciation-month

Amen!

Like the French bread they use for po-boys, muffuletta bread is pretty unique to the NOLA area from my experiences. Then, there’s the olive salad mix. Oh my! I’ve had muffulettas other places and most are good. It just seems more special down there. Kind of like bagels seem better in NY...

Your wife is a keeper trying to bring those sandwiches home to you. I’m thinking that’s what she would have eaten during the travel delays…at least one muffuletta. I certainly would have. 🤭 Can’t beat a muffuletta from Central Grocery.
