Did my first cook tonight, chicken thighs, because the video from RecTeq recommended that, and it sounded good. Everything worked like a champ! The rub was fantastic! I used paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and brown sugar. It gave a nice sweet heat. My probes pretty much matched my Thermoworks Smoke and Thermapen. If I would do one thing different, it would have been to reverse sear the thighs. Now, on to meats that I really like, and I love to smoke and grill! Thanks for giving me a venue to share my thoughts and short journey to my first cook on this amazing pellet grill. I can tell already that I will love it, and I will be using it more than I did my propane and charcoal smokers. It could become a serious addiction, more so than I already had. Now, I will fade into the background here, read, learn, and share anything that I think others may benefit from when those occasions arise.
Great kick off cook.
Ribs, man, ribs....
The RT-700 is a great rib machine. Same for brisket and pork shoulder.
