    New Rec Tec Stampede

    I would go with 1/8” aluminum diamond plate. 1/4” is a bit of overkill. If you want to go with stainless, the 1/16” would be fine with just the front edge bent down. That should stiffen it up plenty. In fact I think that’s what I may go with after all.

    New Rec Tec Stampede

    Yeah I decided that 12 x 30 would be deep enough. As far as a source for diamond plate goes, I would just call a local sheet metal fabricator, they usually have drops left over from previous jobs and are usually glad to cut to size for you for cash.

    New Rec Tec Stampede

    I’ve seen pics of all different kinds of shelf materials. I saw one guy used aluminum diamond plate.

    New Rec Tec Stampede

    I just have a piece of 2 x 12 on it right now but I’m finishing off a nice piece of live edge Cherry to replace it soon. This is the folding shelf brackets I mentioned above.

    New Rec Tec Stampede

    I added a folding shelf to the front of mine with these nice marine Stainless Steel folding shelf brackets from Amazon. Amarine-made Heavy Duty Polished... I’ll post a picture this weekend.

    New Rec Tec Stampede

    No, I’ve had mine for a few weeks. I just felt the Bull was overkill for me size wise.

    New Rec Tec Stampede

    Everyone raves about their customer service, I haven’t needed anything from them yet myself. Heard lots of people say that they even cover things out of warranty.

    New Rec Tec Stampede

    I broke down and bought a pellet grill and couldn’t be happier. WiFi controller with two meat probes. I’ve done a couple overnight cooks and the graph on the phone shows it didn’t vary 2 degrees! Made pizzas on it at 540 degrees in 15 degree weather. I highly recommend Rec Tec if you’re...

    Rec tec bull or stampede

    One of the factory Rec Tec videos about the Bull has the owner of the company turning a brisket around as he explains that one end is hotter than the other due to the exhaust being on one end.

    Rec tec bull or stampede

    I just recently bought the Stampede and have done 3 cooks on it. I chose the Stampede over the bull partly because of the vent layout. The temps are so consistent throughout the Cook chamber, and I’ve read elsewhere that the stack at the right side of the Bull causes it to be cooler at that end...

    Smoked Venison Snack Sticks

    (smoke won't stick to wet casings)... If your sticks are drying out within a 4 hr cook... Then I can almost guarantee your smoker temps are not accurate (how are you measuring smoker temps ?)... Also... add 1/2 - 3/4 cup of non fat powdered milk (NFPM) to every 5 lbs of meat... Gotcha...

    Smoked Venison Snack Sticks

    Why do you do the first hour without smoke? I would think that would be the time for best smoke absorption.

    Smoked Venison Snack Sticks

    I make mine with only straight ground Venison, no Pork added. I do as mentioned above, 10 degrees per hour to a 155 IT. Everyone at work raves about them, and virtually fat free. I use collagen casing by the way.

    Chicken skin HELP!

    Thank you everyone for your help! I have a renewed interest in making this happen. It’s just a bit frustrating getting the chicken skin crispy when I’ve had such good luck with every other kind of meat that I’ve done.
