    May have found my new Rib supplier, online!

    I've been buying from Wild Fork for just over 6 months. Beef, pork, chicken, seafood and just this past holiday a whole duck which was outstanding. The "flash frozen" approach has worked perfectly and the meat comes out great. Their premium thick cut pork chops (Berkshire) are the best pork...

    New recteq app is out

    Just to add to the thread...as I type this I am running the new app version on an iPhone with my RT-680. I haven't tried it on my iPad yet. I had a rib cook already scheduled for today and opened the new app this morning and went for it. We all have varying preferences but I like it. I like the...

    Stampede Why Foil?

    Good answers here, as usual I get to these threads a bit late. But my experiences follow. Warning: what follows is wholly personal regarding tastes and preferences. Adapt or discard as appropriate for your tastes, as is typical for all things BBQ/smoking. I've cooked on an RT-680 for 6 years...

    Bull New owner - cleaning best practices...can you leave pellets in?

    Welcome to the world of pellet smoking! I'm late to this thread and good advice above but I'll add my experiences for your consideration. I've used an RT-680 (Bull predecessor) that I have upgraded with their new wifi controller for 6 years at our main home in southern Arizona and a Traeger 22...

    GrillGrate Feedback?

    I got a set of Grill Grates with my RT-680 almost 5 years ago and they work well. But as others have said it takes time to get a pellet grill up to 450º (or higher) from a smoke temp at 225º to properly sear. The grill will certainly do it but I just don't like my already smoked meat sitting on...

    Bone in Rib-eye Roast

    I'm a bit late to the conversation...busy time of year...but I've got a 6 lb bone-in prime rib aging in the refrigerator right now for New Year's Day, our traditional prime rib day. I plan to use Susie's recipe from Hey Grill Hey for a garlic butter encrusted prime rib. Another forum member gave...

    Keeping a log

    Let me second Uncle Bob's comments about Paprika. We've used the app for 7+ years for all our inside-the-home recipes and when I got into smoking seriously about 5 years ago and wanted to document what I did and what worked...and what didn't...it was a natural for me just add a few additional...

    New Beta app update patch / BearMountain Pellet review.

    Sure give it a try on your next cook. Obviously no rush since the app is still in beta, just curious how far they've taken this. Thanks.

    New Beta app update patch / BearMountain Pellet review.

    Thanks for the update on the app...great news it seems. I was a beta tester for the iOS version last year, things generally got better (except the alerts of course), then I upgraded my phone and during the software transfer onto the new phone the App Store wouldn't give me that special app...

    Rec Tec Customer Service???

    Your wifi issues are discussed well by others but let me add something about RT customer service. I have a 5 year old RT-680 that started aborting the start up process a few weeks ago. Long story but I suspected a bad/failing fan due to what I heard going on (or not going on). I quickly viewed a...

    Bull New RT-700 Bull - Not seeing smoke

    All good advice here but let me emphasize something Roaniecowpony added at the end of his post. Try starting your cooks at Lo/180º to get a nice dose of smoke then turn up the grill to your desired cooking temperature. If I'm doing a long slow cook at 225º or so (pork butt, brisket) I just set...

    Rec Tec app issues

    Let me add something here, and I already posted part of this about a week ago to similar but slightly different problem reports. I use iOS and as of several weeks ago I was using an iPhone X with iOS 12.4.2 with no problem with the Rec Tec app version 1.5.3 (note the .3 version). I then upgraded...

    Rec Tec app issues

    Just another data point to add to the mix, and in case Rec Tec customer support prowls these excellent message boards. I'm using a iPhone X and 13.1.2 and the app works fine, but note I'm still on app v. 1.5.3. I never got alerted to upgrade to 1.5.4, yet when I search the App Store 1.5.4 is...

    Wood Pellet Storage

    I'm new to the forum today and am already enjoying the community. Others have already answered most of this but let me add my experience. I have an RT-680 here in the southern Arizona desert, and a garage where I store my pellets. But I also have a smaller Traeger up at a mountain cabin where I...
