    Smoker Deep Cleaning

    The racks spent the night with Dawn dish soap. Was happy to see that they were stainless. The smoker interior was cleaned with Dawn and a bit of elbow grease. Not sparkly, shiny like new, but if it makes the sausage taste better, I'll be happy. After cleaning and rinse, inside surfaces were...

    Good advice, Chef Ken!

    CookShack SMO25

    I did grab it, Old Sarge! It will be a good addition to my Weber Performer and RecTeq RT-1250. I have tried (unsuccessfully) to cook sausage with those, and so the CookShack will be my go to sausage cooker, and warming oven on occasion.

    Smoker Deep Cleaning

    I tend to "deep clean" my BBQ equipment at least once a year. But this cooker arrived with bright shiny brown color. Not knowing the source or history, I think it may be prudent to clean her up!

    Smoker Deep Cleaning

    I am a new owner of a used SMO25 smoker that is in real need of a deep cleaning. When the last time (if ever) the smoker was cleaned is unknown. I've read the Owner's Manual, the cleaning procedure does not provide much information. Would like to know the recommended cleaning...

    CookShack SMO25

    Have the opportunity to purchase a used (Excellent condition, he said) CookShack MSO25 electric smoker. Called manufacturer, they stated it had a PID controller. Am asking resident experts here if it will be a good smoker for sausage? Understand the temperature range is 140℉ - 300℉. Any...

    Smoking sausage with the RecTeq Smoke Box

    Has anyone had any experience with the RecTeq Smoke Box smoking sausage? I have an RT-1250 and am hesitant to attempt to smoke sausage with it, since the minimum set temp is 180℉. I understand the smoke box temperature is not PID regulated, but according to my limited info, the lower shelf of...

    Smoking natural cased sausage??

    So, Dave.... you said "Don't overcook" - what are you using to cook? I've been chasing the "snap" in my sausages for a long time, using WSM, kettle.

    Sourdough on the RecDeq

    Taste, texture same as oven baked bread. AS 02ebz06 said, the high heat eliminated most of the smoke. Next bake I may introduce a bit of smoke on the second bulk fermentation. Bottom line, the pellet grill does a great job baking, and keeps the heat out of the kitchen on Arizona summer days.

    Sourdough on the RecDeq

    Thanks...haven't tasted it yet, was wondering how much "wood fire" taste it would pick up. Used a 50/50 mix of Lumber Jack Hickory and Whiskey Barrel pellets.

    Sourdough on the RecDeq

    Not a baker, and certainly not a cook, but tiring of the price increases on sourdough bread, I began to bake my own. My new Recdeq pellet grill seemed to be a candidate, so this morning it proved itself. Easier than the electric oven, and no heat in the kitchen.

    Wrong Grill?

    That's quite a collection you have there, ChopSaw! I mentioned taking a ride to an Ace hardware to look at a Searwood, but am waiting for the boss (AKA SWMBO) to climb down from the ceiling. :emoji_wink:

    Wrong Grill?

    Long time Weber user - WSM, Kettle, and Performer. Decided I needed a pellet grill, but heard so many problems with the Weber SmokeFire, I purchased a RecTeq RT-1250. This is a beast, heavy with a lot of stainless steel and larger cook surface than I probably will ever use. Now I'm reading so...

    Meat probes and cables

    Thanks everyone for the great suggestions. I've decided to go with this 3D printed holder. Eliminates the kinks, and readily identifies the connectors as to the PID. (RecTeq, Spider Venom, and Maverick 733 all have different sized connectors.)

    Meat probes and cables

    Thank You Chris_in_SoCal. I have downloaded the *.zip file. Have never done this, but I understand I can take the file to the local library and for a fee, they can print for me? How do I compensate you?

    Amazing!! I'll buy few of those! Temp probe wire tangles and wire kinks just drive me crazy!

    Meat probes and cables

    I purchased 3 of the Thermoworks Silicone Probe spools @ $8.95 each, and they are nice with magnets to hold. Problem is, they're for the new "skinny" probes. I would need 5 more at $8.95 each. Think I might find some empty wire spools that "might" work.
