I'd love to BTT this and get any feed back from real life users...specifically on the impact on the smoke flavor profile and reliability.
I am coming from a WSM, and am IN LOVE w/ the ease and usability, but the flavor is a sacrifice right now. So I am gonna do something to increase smoke...
Awhile back while researching the Heavy D diffuser by Smoke Daddy, I saw a product that was essentially an aftermarket chimney baffle. Later on, I saw it mentioned on here at least once, but for the life of me I can't find it now! 😡
It is a triangular piece of metal that attaches to the inside...
No issues at all. The temp of dry wood won't really play a factor(from my own experience). I've started below 32* often and below zero a couple times. Now if your pellets were wet they would "freeze" but you would have other issues. Enjoy!
Yeah don't worry about the weather. My 700 maintains temp(400*) in sub zero temps (literally) and if you are concerned about it, then get a welding blanket. Don't let the weather stop you...Enjoy!
I'll try it and let ya know! Great idea for wings....not sure why I haven't thought of that. 👍🏼👍🏼 I have done whole chickens and had no issues. Skin finishes perfectly.
Congrats and enjoy!
Whats the reasoning behind putting the butt in a pan? I would worry that sitting in all that fat would run the crust and make it soggy...maybe not?
Good catch! The plastic body and microprocessors prob won’t fair well. @chadinsc i like the barkeepers friend idea. I totally can see it polishing over time.
Anyone convert the stock RT-700 halogen light over to an LED bulb? seems like an easy swap and I think these would work. I know these lights get a lot of flack on here, 10 or so cooks in and I use mine all the time. I clean it w/ a little simple green and a microfiber and it seems to come clean...
Like the look of this.....Does it fit w/ the light as is? Call me a nerd but I like my light. And it cleans up in 15 seconds w/ a little simple green on a microfiber.
When you say “it won’t connect to Wi-Fi”…what exactly do u mean? More specifics may help trouble shooting over the forum. I struggled getting it to connect for about five minutes and then realized I was making a really stupid mistake. Not saying that’s what you’re doing, but may be a simple fix...
Did 3 cooks over the weekend. Thighs ribs and a brisket. Love the results, smoke flavor is light and subtle, definitely different from my wsm, but the ease and precision is awesome. Woke up at 4:30am Sunday am, turned on the smoker from under the covers, got up for 20 min to put the brisket on...
After looking for the last 18 months, Was going to order the 590 but ended up getting the 700 and giving the 340 bonus to my FIL for his anniversary/retirement. Couple things I have been pleased w/....maybe even pleasantly surprised.
