    Rec Tec Arrived! (But does not agree with Maverick?) Pic Heavy

    Got mine recently as well. I'll put the probes to it next time. I've seen several reviews that day the temp is spot on. Did you make sure there is a 1" gap between the rec tec temp probe and the side wall? They mention that it's important a few times in the instructional video. If it's to...

    Where do you place your A-Maze-N tube

    I'll have to smoke some with xtreme mode on and off as well as with and without the tube and see the various results. Good excuse to smoke more

    Where do you place your A-Maze-N tube

    Thanks guys I'll try it in the back. I got it figuring I'd typically use it on hotter cooks where the rec tec isn't putting out as much and for cold smoking. Do you guys use the xtreme smoke mode?

    a BIG box showed up in the garage (rec-tec)

    Someone at the office is giving away moving blankets, I might grab one just for the cold cold smokes

    That's really good news.  I tend to do most of my longer smokes in the middle of the winter when there isn't anything else to do. What do you think about custom fit blanket for winter smoking, worth it?

    a BIG box showed up in the garage (rec-tec)

    Thanks good to know.  I'll cook in anything but wind (unless I've made promises I have to keep).  In my stick burner days I hated the difficulty the wind added.  I still don't like to smoke when its too windy because inevatibly I somehow manage to get grease stains somewhere.  That and I just...

    New smoker in Washington state

    Good morning and welcome to smf! I've had pretty good luck with maverick thermometers. I'm considering an upgrade to one of the app enabled thermostats, but I've had Mavericks for years south no trouble besides replacing probes occasionally.

    Where do you place your A-Maze-N tube

    I got the A-Maze-N pellet tube as an accessory to my new Rec Tec to add additional smoke when desired.  I haven't found a good spot for it to operate in the grill.  I think if I set it on the drip tray it will get clogged with grease.  Setting on the grate doesn't seem great either.  The choices...

    Man as soon as the wx cooperates Nice! we'll have to keep in touch to see how they are going. The snow left but its blowing 20-30mph so I didn't fire it up. I"m hoping I can at least cook a steak on the darn thing in the next few days. Let me know how the butt and chicken goes Thumbs Up

    Mother's Day pork butt on the mini

    The bark is developing nicely. Butts that size usually take about 12 hours for me. I try to do 225 but there's always a half hour here and there where it's 250+

    Switching From WSM To Electric?

    I decided on the rec tec. Price of a trager but much higher quality. I haven't cooked on it yet, but just comparing things like metal thickness between the trager at ace and the rec tec it's an obvious increase in stoutness. The only problem was waiting two weeks for delivery.

    Switching From WSM To Electric?

    I had the six rack. Same element as the four rack which was under powered. I'm sure it's fine for a summer only cook, but not for year round.
