    Yoder Pellet Smoker fuel consumption

    The Yoder is a fine piece of equipment. My feeling is that a lot of practices don't carry over meaningfully from stick burners. I don't think wrapping brisket is usually a benefit, especially when bumping the heat up after three hours to 250-275. The cleaner burn on a pellet smoker at those...

    Yoder Pellet Smoker fuel consumption

    I think 250 is a bit high for brisket on a pellet smoker. Perhaps try 220 for the first three hours and then move it up to 250 and see if it has more smoke flavor. I would mist at three hours too. If I want smoke flavor, when the meat is cool and moist, I keep the rec tecs between 180-220. The...

    New Rec Tec RT 700 arrives Thursday

    The rec tec pellets are half oak and half hickory, IIRC. It would not surprise me if they were made by cookinpellets, considering their similar appearance. Both rec tec and cookinpellets are now looking expensive compared to lumberjack. 100% hickory might be too strong for salmon.

    Help with choosing new pellet smoker

    I did too, I upgraded from a rec tec mini (which I liked). The upcoming mid size rec tec stampede is more the size of the woodwind. But I think a really good first smoker is the new rec tec "mini" - the RT-340 Trailblazer. They fixed some of the repairability issues I had with the older mini...

    Smoke Daddy Pellet Pro?

    They are local to me. They are too small of a company IMO to count on future service. I would look at more major brands. At your price point you can get a fairly premium mini size or a more mid range full size. Personally I would not get a pellet grill without a PID or better (Yoder) controller...

    sales on pellet grills?

    I think the woodwind with the sear box at $600-700 is a good buy. I'm curious how well the sear works. I don't know much about Camp Chef smokers, but their camping stuff is a solid value.

    New Memphis Pro arrives tomorrow

    Traeger pellets in a Memphis Pro is sad. I wonder how much the dealer knows about pellet cooking. "Here sir, is the keys to your new BMW. And here's a complimentary flash drive with our Justin Bieber mix!" I don't find a large difference between premium brands of pellet mixes. (except 100%...

    RT-700 First Impressions

    Just finished the initial bullseye burn in. It showed 610F after about twenty five minutes. Air temp is 40F and the wind is 14mph. I'm encouraged.

    RT-700 First Impressions

    Your observation about smoke is correct. I have a 700, a mini, and as of tomorrow a bullseye. I cook brisket at 220 and don't wrap. Meat that wants higher cooking temp, like beef ribs, get first cooked for an hour or two on low and then raised to 275. I have a smoke tube but never use it. I...

    Rectec vs Grilla vs Yoder

    I loved my RecTec mini but planned to upgrade to a Yoder 640. Instead I went with the RT-700 due to the quality of support I received from RecTec as well as the six year warranty. Based on my experience with the mini I'm confident I will go six years with no repair expenses. The RT-700 warranty...
