Hey All,
Anxiously awaiting my new RecTec RT-700 arriving later this week. I’m upgrading from a 6 year old GMG that had horrible problems maintaining a consistent temp across the grill surface. As such, the GMG hasn’t been used much in the past couple years and I have several bags of 100% hickory, apple and mesquite wood pellets all properly stored (still shiny and pass the “snap” test).
My question for the pro’s - will these 4 year old pellets still retain the same flavor profiles if I use them in the new Bull or should I spring for new pellets? I learned early it’s better to either cook with 100% pellets or create my own “blend” mixing 100% pellets to get the smoke flavor I want. I was never happy with the pre-blended pellets because I couldn’t really taste the smoke on the meat.
Any feedback or lessons-learned appreciated!
Thanks!!!
