    Rec Tec Smoker - Would I be happy?

    Though I've yet to dare sleeping through an overnight smoke, the rec tec, and maybe most pellet grills, holds temperatures very well. You don't ever have to fiddle with anything once it's going. If you get one, try it on many different cooks before ditching what you have. It doesn't do...

    Rec Tec Smoker - Would I be happy?

    The Low setting is about 180. To go much lower, as Weev said, the smokebox works fantastic. Three racks inside, and the temp varies a lot from top to bottom, so you can find a temp of your choosing. Overall I love it, and though it was quite pricey, I would do it again. I still use the...

    Sausage & Pellet Smoker

    Hadn't scrolled down this far when I asked about doing just this regarding tube smoking first. Thanks!

    Sausage & Pellet Smoker

    I also have a Bull. For lowest temps, I figure low in the smoking box would be best. Even without the box, for Cured grinds, I'm wondering could the initial "little while" be done at ambient temps with the Smoking Tube making all the smoke instead the grill being on? My Amazin' Tube smoker...

    Filter The Dust?

    There are a hundred things I love about my RT700, but I sure wish it had an easy way to dump pellets.

    Pit boss pellets question

    In a short time as a pellet grill owner, have used the LJ all-flavor. I agree with others - grills (at least not all of them) do not necessarily need any particular wood to feed or burn correctly. I am a big fan of all pecan, and it works just fine in my RT700. That said, in my pre-pellet...

    Impromptu spatchcock smoking.

    Probably in Canadian dollars, which helps a little. Yeah, I know, I'm a few years late.

    Rec Tec Auger Jammed, need help

    The RecTec PB700 does not have an easy way to dump / change out pellets. In Jeff's comparison of a couple grills, that was one of his few "wish it had"s for the 700.

    Rec Tec RT700 question

    For cheese, I think I would run temp as low as possible and put it in the coolest section of the box. Alternatively, maybe not run the grill at all, and smoke with an AMAZEN tube in the grill at otherwise ambient temps, with the cheese in the box? I'm interested in how that might work out

    Well I Went And Did It: Ordered The Rec Tec RT 700 Bull

    Good man. Always listen to She Who Must Be Obeyed - especially since she likes smoked meat!

    Temp accuracy, expectation vs reality, RT-700

    Thanks to all on the info regarding checking, then adjusting, temp controls / readouts. Like many, maybe I'm a tad skeptical on holding temps that close, but to be fair, it'll likely be better than I have had on anything else. My 6 year old Char Griller Akorn kamado (which replaced a very...

    Awesome Prime Rib

    I did my first Prime Rib for Christmas using my Akorn, and it did a beautiful job.

    First smoke Prime Rib - Christmas success

    It was a huge hit. This is a keeper. Used mama's favorite rub on this one, will try your suggestion on a future smoke.

    First smoke Prime Rib - Christmas success

    Nervous to do first smoked PR for Christmas, but consensus here is - it's not hard. Just over eleven pounds of bone-in PR, seasonings, and smoked lightly with red oak and pecan, it turned out amazing. Smoked from 225 to 250, pulled at 144 right at the 4 hour mark (meant to pull a couple...

    Smoked Prime Rib (49th Wedding Anniversary Dinner)

    Thanks, Bear. I have an 11 and a 12 pound bone-in (butcher trimmed, twine) Prime Rib she wants me to smoke for Christmas. I absolutely cannot wait. Thank you for the quick response. Will look at your PR calendar.

    Smoked Prime Rib (49th Wedding Anniversary Dinner)

    Beautiful hunk of meat. I will be smoking my first PR for Christmas. I am a little surprised the pix appear to be beautifully red, juicy, Med Rare, at 140 IT? I thought 140 would be a big "done"-r than that? Missus only has one rule - don't ever overcook her meat :-) Congrats on 49!!!
