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?

Just put my 5.5lb corned beef (flat) brisket on. Plan is for a roughly 2 hour smoke, then wrap it, and take it to tender…about 200-205. I put a plain ol’ mustard slather on top and sprinkled some of the seasoning packet on top of that. I do have it fat side up as I’m using a “water pan” (with...

I have been mulling over a decision on procuring the PCS Rackworks package #4B for over 6 months. I finally pulled the trigger. Chad Peterson was great to work with. I think it’s Feb. 1st or 2nd when I made the online purchase. Chad called to finalize details. He got it shipped to me and I...

I know this is a RecTeq forum but I thought this was somewhat interesting news to all us pellet heads. I almost bought the Grilla Grills Silverbac but ended up getting my RT-700. But I was impressed enough with them to buy the “Primate”. Today, Grilla Grills announces the “Mammoth”...

I’ve been on a fairly non-scientific “study” of various brands of pellets for my RT-700. Clearly some pellets appear to be of physically higher quality than others. Some provide better or more pronounced smoke than others. The RecTeq pellets appear high grade as did the pellets from...

Is it just me or do all my steaks seared on grill grates turn out tougher than just using my gas grill or my RT-700? Vegetables are great. My steaks tough. And I’m using high-grade choice grade meat. Typically ribeyes or NY strips. I cook my steaks to 140 degrees. Yes, the nicely seared...

Anyone have any porchetta recipes or suggestions for me? I’ve never done one before. My local butcher shop puts one together from pork belly…skin on or off. My worry with that the resulting product may be too fatty. I’m fine with that but my wife isn’t. I’ve read some people make porchetta...

From pictures only, it looks like the RT-1250 is a RT-700 with two-tiered racks. So my questions are (1) is there more to the 1250 than meets the eye and (2) can I purchase a two-tiered rack for my 700 to, essentially, make it a 1250?

I’m gonna be cooking several pork butts and/or shoulders over the next two weekends. In my very early pellet smoker days (15-years ago), I smoked my pork unwrapped the whole cook. I found out you can over-smoke meat. You shouldn’t be burping smoke the next day. 😬 Then, after reading lots of...

I was reading through some posts about cooking boneless chicken breasts on wood pellet grills (RecTeq). It got me thinking about successes and failures I’ve had and thought I’d share some of that on this forum in hopes to get some feedback from others…which may help me in future cooks. About 7...

What y’all cooking on your ReqTec for next Sunday’s Super Bowl? I’m looking for ideas. I will be doing some wings. Kind of stuck on what else to cook. What about side dishes? Desserts, too?

I know for most cooking on my RT-700 I have no need for an infrared thermometer. However, I just added a Grilla Grills Primate gas grill that has a griddle (use griddle mode or regular grates). I've watched some videos of folks using griddles and it appears that knowing the temperature of the...
