Best thing about a pellet grill is constant temperature unattended cooking. Since I've got mine, I always put pork shoulder or brisket on between 10pm and midnight, typically with temp set in the low/180-200 range, then go to bed and sleep soundly. When I get up in the morning, it's usually time...
So, if this was the full uncut packer, no one would be recommending that this be removed because it would not be accessible, correct? The whole packer would be smoked and you would slice through this when serving.
If so, why then is it so important to be removed just because the full packer has...
That's what I came here to say. Use the control panel to control the grill and a meat thermometer to check for doneness. Mankind has been cooking for literally thousands of years without apps and phones...
For a ~10 lb butt, I put it on at 9-10 pm the night before on low/max smoke. When I get up in the morning, I raise temp to 225 and let it sit there until internal temp reaches 203-205. This usually ends up being 2-3 PM. I then pull and wrap in red paper, then foil (to keep cooler clean). Place...
I had always used Reynolds heavy duty. Frequently seemed to get a small pinhole/tear at the bottom where the side flanges bend up and the lower edge angles down. Drippings always seemed to find that hole and were drawn up via capillary action between the foil and the pan, so the pan was never...
Sounds like you've made intelligent and astute observations. Something doesn't sound right to me though. I've had my RT-340 for a couple of years now and have smoked year round - from ambient temps under 20F and snowing in February to 95F and sunny in July. In the cold, I've never used a welding...
Agreed with other posts above. The 340 is "portable" in the sense that the legs fold up and my 15 year old son and I can lift it up onto the tailgate of my pickup. I've taken it to local holiday type campouts where we're not more than a couple of hours from home for a 3 day weekend with a group...
I can't see how the app would cause temperature fluctuations unless it is continuously changing the set point. Changing the setpoint via the app should be no different than physically adjusting the setpoint via the dial on the grill. If you watch the screen on the grill controller itself, do you...
I did a 20 lb bird in 2 sessions last year. Went 1 step beyond spatchcock and split into 2 separate halves. Each half fit nicely over the drip tray. Cook time was 3:45 @ 275 F
Obviously, this is only an option if you don't need the entire bird done at the same time.
Anyone that's done this for a while knows that there is no way of accurately estimating the remaining cook time. On something like a pork shoulder, I'm as repeatable as I can be: same size cut of meat, same grill, same pellets, same precook procedure, etc.. Even with all that, the onset of the...
While I'm happy for you, I'm curious why you (and apparently everyone else that was previously wondering if RT would "step up") even expected that the lid would be replaced for free? This was not a manufacturing flaw or anything else that a warranty would (or should) be expected to cover.
If...
The sensitive sliders, graphs that don't update real-time and only being able to zoom the time axis are annoyances.
The app needing an external wi-fi connection back to big-brother rec-teq is the biggest issue. Causes the app to be absolutely unusable on busy days (i.e. holidays) when the...
