Took the plunge and got a Matador, Bullseye and Bull, they arrived Thursday.
Last night broke in the Bullseye, 400 degrees for an hour. Then made the mistake of trying to season the grates with Bacon.
FIRE!!!!!
Lesson learned or so I thought.
Today time to do chicken thighs. Bullseye set on 300 degrees was showing from 487 to 404 degrees on my Fireboard 2.
I called Rec Teq and they stated just to set it to 400 and add the chicken thighs, well same problem set to 400 and BOOM, grease FIRE!!!
So I opened the lid, reduced to 250 and rotated the chicks.
Probe on the Fireboard read 175 and pulled the chicken at 175 degrees and they were juicy and delicious.
So I ran one hour on low and one hour on 225 to understand the fluctuations, LOVE DATA, I will post those screenshots.
Burned in the Bull, set it to 400, put Fireboard in the right side of the grill and it was steady, It was about 380 degrees versus the actual reading of 400 on the controller.
Cooked more chicken thighs and its nice and seasoned.
Takeaway for me is that you just have to learn every time you cook with a new grill. I will get the Bullseye down, just need to cook more.
Pictures, because I know everyone likes pictures.
