    RecTec Trailblazer: Maiden Voyage Impressions

    Nice review. I would give the lumberjack pellets a whirl. I used pit boss from Lowe’s and they are bland and lots of ash, much better flavor with char hickory pellets.

    Does pellet type/flavor really matter?

    So I did the same trip tip, same seasoning, same temp.....and went from Lumberjack Char Hickory to Traeger gourmet blend from Costco. Lumberjack had a significantly better “smoke” flavor, to me it was very noticeable. I’m done pellet testing, and as many others have done I will be going only...

    New to Pellet grills

    First off, I don’t do the smoke tube. Second, first pellets I bought were the same ones from Lowe’s. They worked, but to me a lot of ash and no smoke flavor. BBQ delight burned cleaner but no huge flavor difference, maybe a bit but I mixed some. Lumberjack Char Hickory are the best I have...

    YS640 comp vs Rec Tec Bull comp

    Yep saw that as well. Can buy the ceramic igniter now for 52 bucks so I’m cool with both options since the upgraded one is like 300 more.

    YS640 comp vs Rec Tec Bull comp

    Well now I’m sad....new Yoder ys640s is out with built in fireboard and WiFi grill controller....plus ceramic igniter. Pisses me off since I just bought...hope they offer those that purchased in the last few weeks an upgrade option or two...

    Brisket for Two: First Brisket Questions

    Looks good. Truth be told I would buy all flats if I could. The ones I have done the point has just been a mess of fat and I end up scrapping most of it or getting very little meat. So much waste from my experience off all of 5 briskets :)

    Does pellet type/flavor really matter?

    The lumberjack char hickory I tried on my first Tri Tip was great! Guests commented on smoke flavor and I thought it was just enough to be there and not overwhelming the taste of the meat. I will keep using these or the pure hickory if I could find local. Up to this point I had no discerning...

    Tri Tip

    Thanks Preacher. I will do this cook again and preferred to brisket. At 10.00 a pound its steep but no waste and easy to come off perfect! Char hickory lumber jack pellets gave it a perfect flavor. 10 out of 10 cook!

    Does pellet type/flavor really matter?

    My 2 cents from multiple cooks is that the pit boss comp pellets, while really cheap at 14 bucks for 40 pounds, really produce a noticeable increase in ash deposits throughout the smoker which obviously get on the food as well. I’m inclined at this point to get bbq delight quality or...

    Tri Tip

    Doing it on the Yoder 640. Good info on reverse sear and keeping it lower longer, think I’ll keep it simple for company’s sake in case I destroy it somehow...I’ll go maybe 200 range for a while then to get some more flavor. Thanks!

    Tri Tip

    I’m new to the west coast and this particular cut. Got two prime ones for tomorrow as some company coming over. I plan to use cattleman’s grill California Tri Tip seasoning, putting it on about an hour before the smoker. Plan to put it at 225 until about 140ish or medium rare temp...

Told him I just got mine....he says what kind...told him Yoder ys640....he says whoa that’s way above my pay grade you went all out.....I was happy and...

    Does pellet type/flavor really matter?

    I bought the lumberjack Char Hickory today at dicks and the Traeger completion blend or whatever its called at Costco. Anxious to see if any difference. Couldn’t find hickory.

    YS640 comp vs Rec Tec Bull comp

    Grilled several times. For those wondering if this can replace a gas Weber genesis....it does. My Weber lost its spot on the patio and the ys640 has taken over. It’s a bit less surface area but I prefer the results and it heats up in about the same time, maybe a shade less. 100% happy with...
