Stampede What accessories do you use

[SMielke]

I am looking for an accessory for my grill. Doesn't have to be RecTeq branded I have the grill grates, non stick mat and a cover already. I want to get something that will be multi purposed since I have a weber kettle, gas grill, and my fire pit.

Other than a couple of Thermoworks products and some cast iron for searing I don't have a need for any accessories.

One thing I find to be really handy is a grill pan for smoking or grilling smaller things that may fall through the grates. It also makes transport from the kitchen to cooker easier too. Here’s a couple examples:

I guess the only accessory I have a piece of 1/4" window screen to grill bacon.

Can you expand more on this, sounds interesting.

 

[ol' stonebreaker]

pretty simple. I just lay the bacon on it and when done don gloves and lift the screen out to ease removing the bacon.

I ordered the grill mats and sear plates from Recteq. They aren't here yet so I can't comment on them

Thanks.

Top rack helps when you want to catch drippings. I always put a pan under my butts so I can mix back in once I pull it and the rack makes it easy

Thanks.

I got one grill Matt with my 700, I will defiantly be using this Matt a lot.

Good grill gloves
Cast iron skillets
Thermapen
Smoke tube
Good cutting board (I'm still looking for the right upgrade)
Good sharp knives
Stock of bourbon (added to many of my recipes)

Those are my go tos

Got a set of 5 grill mats on Amazon for less than the price of 1 from recteq, guess there's a lot of markup.
Anyway, great accessory, been using them for bacon, veggies, pizza, shrimp, scalops, meatloaf, etc... cleanup is very easy.
Nice having 5 so people can make their own pizza on fresh dough and have them ready for the grill to cook 2 at a time for a pizza party.

Ditto, I went the same route.

I’ll be ordering a set of these.
Thanks

Cooking with it is what got me hooked on bourbon.

I need to buy a good temp pen I have a cheap one that does the job but a little slow at displaying temp. My whiskey stash never dries up I always have a bottle on hand. As for knives that's on my list of getting just want to find a more budget set but not really a low budget. I want to try and stay under 500 for a full set.

 

[MisterKrazee]

Never buy a set of knives. Buy one decent knife for each specific purpose that you actually use them for. Make a habit to hone and you'll only need to sharpen if you lose the edge. For $500 you can get some decent knives and some stones/hone to keep them in sharp shape.

I also agree with a Thermapen.

Are you using the RT version of the top rack? I didn't order that thinking that there were cheaper options out there or other sizes. I like that idea of tossing a pan under the butt to catch the drippings. I did buy their mats and now see there are cheaper options there oh well.

 

[Blues1]

I did get RT's, but *I'm sure there are plenty of options to find one cheaper. All it needs is enough space to get a pan under.

Having a digital thermometer for me is a must. I also have the Traeger cast iron reversible griddle and stainless grill basket, which I use a lot. Also, I'm not sure if this counts as an accessory, but I also purchased a high quality cover for my grill to protect it.
