    OVERNIGHT COOKS

    I think big events like Father's Day bring in some new faces who don't have the same level of knowledge & experience this community has. It seems that a few fellow grillfathers found the forum while googling for help. Hopefully they'll stick around!

    Smoker Shut off overnight

    That would be very dangerous to eat. That sat in the 40F to 140F range for (possibly) 11 hours.

    Simple All-Purpose Rub

    This is something used as a base in many recipes in the Llama household. It's simple, easy, & you can add to it based on what you're cooking: 3 parts salt 3 parts black pepper 1 part granulated garlic 1 part paprika (your choice of the type) Sometimes, I add a dash of ground mustard. You can...

    I got a pack. EZPZ & for $25 it's hard to beat.

    First cooks on the new recteq

    Don't judge me too much: It's the Sam's Club potato salad 🤣. It is pretty good for store-bought. This is my first run with a pellet smoker that had a drip pan like this. The obvious reason to foil it is for cleaning, but on my charcoal cookers I have found that the residue which burns on those...

    Return of the Grilled Cheese: the prequel nobody asked for

    That is some good eating. It's always good to be able to salvage something that doesn't go as planned, in this case the cheese. Awesome meal!

    First cooks on the new recteq

    Got the Recteq XL 1400, & decided to break it in with 2 short cooks. All thing's considered, I was very happy with the results. Leftover pulled pork enchiladas with homemade verde sauce & fresh corn tortillas from the local tortilleria Classic, sticky BBQ chicken with corn on the cob...

    Better tasting smoke

    "No red chemical smoke ring" I am so confused right now.

    Use Kroger coupons and coupons from the Kroger family of stores from nation wide weekly ad digital coupons at your local Kroger

    At what point is the hobby no longer about smoking meat, rather it becomes collecting discount meat? 🤣

    Advice for pork steaks on the pellet grill

    Our local butcher has a quality brand of pork called Prairie Fresh & he freshly slices pork chops each weekend. It's divine.

    Learning the RT

    That looks great! Seems like a few of us got in on their Memorial Day sale. 🤣

    Tired in Tennessee

    Are you strictly interested in an electric smoker or are pellet grills something you're considering? They're basically smoker ovens with wood pellets as a fuel source.

    Sams club versus Costco

    The chicken wings at my local Sam's are always so poorly cleaned. I don't buy them there anymore. I raid the Restaurant Depot when they go on sale.

    Sams club versus Costco

    My experience has been that the meat quality is better at Costco. Costco also has a much better variety. However it is more expensive. I shop at Sam's more because their peripheral items are better or more cost efficient. Foil pans, paper towels, baby diapers, etc.... also Costco has some weird...

    First cook in the books....

    I have barely kept my 7 series alive! It throws a few errors here and there.

    First cook in the books....

    Is that the XL 1400? I have one being delivered tomorrow. Also, which Louisiana Grills cabinet you have in the corner? Seems like you & I may have the same equipment.

    Tired in Tennessee

    If you're sporting a WSM, then just know there's a litany of mods out there that help a lot. Also, good to see a fellow West TN pal around these parts.

    Recteq 1250 one year review

    Thanks for the write up! I have an XL 1400 coming in this week. I was gifted a pellet smoker years ago & as soon as I became a dad it became my preferred method at home. Good point on the pellets. I've been using BBQ Delight & had good results.

    Belly prices

    Found some at Sam's yesterday for just above $4/lb. Still higher than it used to be, but not the worst out there.
