    What pellets do you buy?

    I know this topic has been covered before, but oh well... Pellet grill owners, what kind of pellets do you buy? Do you notice any real difference between specific wood types or blends? Where have you found the best deals? I've had my Rec Tec for about 3 months and have only tried 2 different...

    Chuck Roast Burnt Ends

    Finally had a free weekend for a smoke, so I tried Jeff's Smoked Chuck Roast Burnt Ends on my Rec Tec RT680. They were amazing! My wife is already asking when I can make them again. I only smoked 1 chuck roast and I used Sweet Baby Rays as the sauce, other than that I followed Jeff's recipe...

    pellet smoker used as a grill ???

    I have a Rec Tec RT680 and often use it as a grill with the help of GrillGrates, but am really happy I kept my gas grill for more spontaneous cooks. It takes awhile to preheat a pellet grill.

    Is this a good price?

    Those are all good things to consider. I'll have to ask those questions. Thanks for the tip.

    Is this a good price?

    I'm looking to buy some bulk meat (around 50 lbs or so) and am looking for a better deal than I'd get at the grocery store. A local butcher shop has a few "family pack" options listed on their website. Since there are so many different types of cuts here, I'm not sure whether or not this is a...

    Traeger Question

    I found out the discount on Traeger wasn't as big as I originally thought, so I went with what I wanted more anyways. Just placed an order on a Rec Tec.

    Traeger Question

    I've read about the grill grates. I think I'll get those when I get my traeger and hold onto my gas grill for awhile just in case.

    Traeger Question

    I am going to purchase a pellet grill/smoker soon. I had my mind made up on a Rec Tec, but found out a family member can get me a big discount on a Traeger, so am now leaning towards the Traeger Pro Series 34. I have a few questions for those of you with Traeger experience... 1. Are you happy...

    Jerky Marinade Recommendations?

    I have a london broil I am going to make into jerky over the weekend. Any recommendations on a good marinade recipe? Most recipes I've found seem to be in a teriyaki style, but I'm not big on teriyaki style jerky. Just want something basic.

    Lexington Rub Help

    I saw this clip from BBQ Pitmasters: A guy on there talks about his Lexington style rub recipe and it sounds amazing, so I want to try and make something similar. He lists the ingredients. Can anyone help me with some advise on what ratios of each ingredient to use? These are the ingredients...

    Stove Top Smoker Salmon

    Bear, The smoke isn't THAT bad. If there's a kitchen fan and he can open a few windows, it should be fine. Cleaning the stove top smoker soon after helps to stop the smell from lingering.
