So I had a problem this morning and uninstalled and reinstalled the app. When I was setting it up I couldn't give the model. Only one showed up and it wasn't mine. . So it's now "unknown model." What's the fix?

I salted and placed this 6 lb roast in the refrigerator two hours ago. Christmas day I will take it out and let it come to room temperature before I cook it. Here's my dilemma. My wife is not a fan of bark. I'm considering cooking it in the oven. As a matter of fact, I'm leaning that way just to...

The first couple or three years that I smoked I had a very beginner level electric smoker and at our high altitude home it was difficult to keep heat in it. So the 321 was pretty much mandatory. However, since I got this Rec Tec 590 I've not used the 321 very often. I don't think I've used it...

Just read their brisket is on sale for $2.99/lb. I'd get one and run it through my grinder and another to smoke. But it's almost 60 miles away. But some of you might take advantage of it if you think it's a good deal. The grade is choice, not prime but still, three bucks a pound is a pretty...

So I oven fried wings in the oven for lunch a bit ago. Here's how. I don't usually use my smoker as a grill, but there are some pellets I want to use up. Grilled a steak earlier this week and want to do some more wings on it in a few days. Today. Coated dry wings in 50/50 baking powder and...

Mods can delete this if inappropriate. But I met my neighbor today. Offered to bring him some ribs and he said his son gave him a smoker. He has tried to use it three times and each time he thought he would have to call the fire department because it put out so much smoke. He did not mention...

So I thought it was time to clean my grill after having smoked that brisket last week. I felt I'm going to give this onion business instead of wire brush a try,. So I turned the grill on and set it to 400 if I recall right. The idea was to get the grates hot before cleaning them. Went in and...

Several months ago I did a 3-pounder, and it did not come out very good at all. So I'm considering this 10 pounder my first. I watch some videos and decided to trim it a little bit myself, although I saw a video by smokin' Joe's BBQ where he, for the first time ever, smoked a brisket without...

So it's 5:00 a.m. Pacific and I imagine hurricane Hillary will be hitting us later in the day. So I took this opportunity to use up my pellets before they soak up any moisture from the high relative humidity we are going to have. I always leave lots of pellets in my Hopper because here in the...

So 40 minutes ago I put two racks on the grill I had preheated to 225. I believe all of my rib Cooks have been at 225. So 15 minutes later I decided to try 250 hoping to retain some moisture. Suddenly I was up to 275 and climbing. It took another 15 minutes of jiggering to get it back down to my...

I have not used my grilled grates very often. And so I wanted to use them on my propane grill. Turns out they were too large, so I was looking for smaller ones on Amazon and ran into a discussion about their not getting hot. One fellow said he was running his cooker, whatever it was, at over...

I guess Google doesn't know the word gigahertz. Aha!, there it is. I changed ISP providers last week and I'm using a Gateway device that is 5 GHz. In a week or 2 I will be able to alternate it between 5 and 2.4. But presently I'm wondering if it is possible for my 590 to hook up to the app.I...

I'm smoking some ribs today and went out to spritzer it and got to thinking, surely there's good ideas outside the box. I am using apple cider vinegar with a small amount of lemon juice, Chardonay and pineapple juice. I forgot to buy apple juice at the store yesterday. But what are some other...

So it’s a little after 5 AM and my 8 pound bone in pork butt is concluding its first hour on the smoker. I’m about to go out and spritzer it but first I have a question about the app. Is there a way to erase what I will call the history? I had not used the smoker for about two months, which is a...

For a couple of reasons I haven’t used my smoker for at least a month. So I’m getting on it today. The smaller in front is St.Louis. Those two racks pretty much filled up my 590. Barely room for my smoke tube. I’m looking forward to dinner in a few more hours and a bunch will go in the freezer.

This is a really good basic chili recipe. As it is, it could probably be served for lunch at the local nursing home. But I tweak it quite a bit. In fact, I think it was designed to be tweaked. I usually cut a steak into chunks. You can use beef or game or whatever you have in the freezer. If I...

I smoked this 5 pound boneless beef rib roast. Came out a little more done than I would have liked but that seems to be my gremlin. But perfect for DW, so all good. I smoked it at 225 to 123f and wrapped it as I let it rest for 20 minutes while I heated the smoker up to 400 with my iron skillet...

An episode yesterday. I’ll cut to the chase. Large brisket. Smoked for 17 hours. Then put in pan, covered with foil and finished in oven for 50 minutes. (350?) When they took it out of the oven as simple fork shredded it like paper. Does that sound reasonable to try in my 590? I did one small...

While snooping through Home Depot an hour or so ago looking for a small piece of hose to cover the sharp hood rests, I noticed they sold pool vac hose by the foot. That really surprised me. So I bought a foot, came home and cut a couple pieces off and here we go. I’ll trim them down some more...
