    Questions for RecTeq owners

    Do RecTeq models have a trap door to remove pellets? Is there a shutdown mode that will run for a period which will clear out the pellets in the auger chamber?

    So long, farewell auf wiedersehen goodbye

    Totally understandable Chris. The Throwdowns have been great and a Big Thank You for the tremendous amount of work you've put in, especially the behind scene hours.

    Hey cat people, I got a question

    For the record we do have a cat which we rescued from the local humane society. Our previous family member was with us for 17 years but we had to put him down due to failing health. This might not sit well with some but cats are indiscriminate killers. Not their fault, they are what they are...

    Boneless beef short ribs

    Lots of ways to do short ribs. Our most favorite way takes about 8 hours. You can even smoke them for 2 hours first before using the recipe. If you do, adjust the total time. The gravy is to die for. https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/short-ribs-braised-in-red-wine.279833/

    Looking for a new toaster oven

    Been using a Breville for quite a long time. Absolutely love it. With only two of us, it gets the lion's share of the kitchen duties vs our built-in oven. Make sure what ever you get it has an internal light that can be controlled from the front panel.

    Piedmontese Competition Brisket

    Wasn't that happy with the brisket. When it probed tender all over the flat I pulled it and let the temp drop to 180º before wrapping tightly and then into the oven set at 150º for a 2 hour rest. Point was fine, some of flat was ok but even after the trim prep, the parts closer to the end of...

    Piedmontese Competition Brisket

    Not certain I can get this auger dislodged. Despite my best efforts it has not budged one bit. So ticked off at myself for not following my smoker shutdown process that has worked perfectly for many years. At this point I went ahead and put the brisket in the oven this morning. Going to try...

    Piedmontese Competition Brisket

    Well crappers! Y'all might want to get off this ride. Went out to setup the MAK smoker and the auger is completely stuck. Pulled everything apart and even followed MAK's video but this thing won't budge period. Nobody to blame but myself. I've had this MAK for years and always taken care of it...

    Piedmontese Competition Brisket

    Robert (@tx smoker ) turned me on to Piedmontese beef a few years ago and we have enjoyed it tremendously. Purchased this brisket towards the end of last year and I'm finally getting around to smoking it. Labeling indicates a minimum of 9 lbs so put it on the scale and it's actually 11.4 lbs...

    Chef IQ

    Interesting, here is a wireless probe that also works with wifi along with bluetooth. WiFi makes a lot more useable. The way their docs are written it's hard to tell if their wifi implementation would support connection from anywhere or just a phone connected to the same local wifi as its hub...

    First smoke - Moinks!

    Glad to see you back in the smoking saddle and great looking Moinks! Nothing wrong going to a pellet smoker. The ease of use makes smoking again a snap. Can't wait to see what you do next.
