I believe the complaint that you don’t get enough smoke flavor with a pellet grill is due to two things.
1. The process of pellet production allows the natural moisture and the volatile substances to escape thus removing those combustion products that penetrate the meat and contribute to...
This was my 3rd cook of a TriTip like a brisket. 2.7 lb choice TT. Mustard prep and Montreal Steak Seasoning. Fired up the 1070 at 225* and smoked for 3 hrs. Temp was at 155* and stalling. I also smoked a couple of tablespoons of lard in a pan at the same time. Removed and foiled with 2...
4.5 vac sealed corned beef brisket flat. Opened package, rinsed and patted dry, added the spice packet. 1070 set to 275*. Smoked for 3 hrs, no peeking. Then into an aluminum pan with 1/4" of beer. Covered with foil, and back in pit until internal temp 203* and tender to probe. Out and rested...
Prairie Fresh from Walmart. Meat Church "Honey Hog BBQ" rub. 275* for 4 hours (planned, but done in 3.5 hrs). Internal temp 190 at 3 hrs, so I knew they were getting close. Pulled at 3 hrs, painted with custom sauce, and back on for another 30 min. Result with Fast Eddy is usually great with...
Been using my old set of GG's 19.5" sitting on the regular grates. Work fine except the front and back ends cover the open space between drip pan and body of grill. I think they obstruct the flow where they sit. So I am ordering the 17.38" set of GG's, which will allow an inch of open space at...
First up to 350 for one hour for potatoes. The up to 500 for 45 minutes to grill steaks. Then down to 240* to cool down while we ate dinner. Then started shut down. Soon smoke coming from both pit and hopper. Less from pit and more? from hopper. Took apart to inspect and found all dark pellets...
I found a grease leak where the grease trough on the right empties into the drain tube. The grease ends up on the bottom around the drain tube. The tube is spot welded to the trough. The tube is bigger than the drain hole in the trough, and I figure that RT thought that the oil would just drip...
Like Fast Eddy's 3 hr BB ribs, I tried spareribs in 4 hrs.
First I opened vacuum packed spares, and patted dry with paper towels. Next I did not remove the membrane-instead, I sliced it in a criss cross pattern. No binder used. Then I used ONLY salt and pepper on both sides. Being careful to go...
I've seen several comments about the cabinet doors not staying shut because the magnet at the top is weak. Simple solution: Purchase those dime sized strong magnets at HD or Lowe's, Ace. etc. Take one and use super glue to one side and glue it to the top corner of each door where it will strike...
Long story. I liked my 590, never had problems. But in May I decided I wanted a pit that offered direct flame searing. So I decided to upgrade to a Memphis grill. Who could argue with that? Bad mistake on my part. I ordered their cheaper Beale Street model. Total piece of junk! Oh well I'll...
I have really enjoyed this website with my 590 and 380 questions and answers.
1: recteq pellet grills offer the best bang for the buck IMHO.
2: This site is valuable for owners and interested shoppers to obtain useful info on the various units. How to use, adjust, or modify.
3: While in...
It is a good performer. I am replacing my RT's. I am in Tulsa, Ok. It will have to be a local pickup. If you are within a 100 miles or so, it would be worth the trip. I have solid 304 SS grates (smoke daddy--a perfect fit). I have used only for hot and fast, although it holds on Low at about...
Gonna sell my 380. Works great but I am upgrading to a unit that can do both low slow and direct flame. Is there anyone on this Forum who is near enough to Tulsa, OK. who would like to pick up this grill for $200? Other than the usual char inside, it is in perfect working order and has a custom...
Like many 590 owners, my deflector warped almost a half an inch out of flat. I had an old deflector mod that I had created for my Blaz'n GS, and had kept when I sold the GS. 10" square by 3/16" thick 304 SS. So I removed the bolt legs and with shorter bolts, I drilled the diffuser and bolted...
I have a new 590 control that has one faulty meat probe socket. They gave me a new control (when unit was first delivered) but did not ask me to return the damaged unit.
I believe that the control unit for B380 is inferior to the 590 control and thus accounts for the wide temp swings. They had...
Gonna low/slo a 8.5lb butt over night, but want to make less mess. I will place it on a grate, that is sitting on a deep pan with some water and Apple vinegar in it. It will provide moisture, as well as catch all the grease and drippings. After the cook, will remove the fat and use the...
