    To wash or not to wash, that is the question!

    I always rinse. Poultry cavities ALWAYS seem to have something loose in them that I just don't want. Bone in meat is a must because all too often I seem to be tho one to find a bone fragment and the last thing I want is for a guest or my wife to find one. Fish, just because.

    Anyone using a Kizen instant read?

    My (soon to be delivered) REC TEC comes with dual temp probes bit I'm sure I'll need to use s hand held as well so I'm looking at getting the Kizen. Have any of you tried it? What's your impression?

    Medditeranean burgers

    Love it! I'm going to have to do these. My twist will be to include cinnamon. Had it once that way and it's never gotten out of my mind.

    Just ordered Rec-Tec Bull

    Congratulations! I researched and decided on REC TEC as well. I'm sure we'll both be enjoying some tasty meals soon. (When I think of those bland, gas fired, chicken breasts I won't be missing them a bit.)

    Hey, I resent that, (kidding) Boeing is funding my retirement! PLUS!!! They gave me a free Brinkman when I retired.

    How’s your wood pile doing?

    Or a great blanket hutch.

    How’s your wood pile doing?

    I'm a pellet guy but should probably be a stick guy. I've currently got about 14 full cords (42 face cords) of maple and oak. We use it not for actually heating but for the enjoyment of both outside fires and the inside fireplace.

    Anyone near Green Bay

    Will do. The 900 has a add on smoke box for $$$ that's supposed to be good for cheese and the like but I'm hoping that using a AMPS in the 590 without running the pellet will suffice. I'm also getting the searing plates for burgers and brats so I'll be anxious to see if they perform well enough.

    I'm in Shawano. Brand new to smoking. Only used charcoal smoker but getting a REC TEC this month. (RT-590)

    1st bird on new grill

    Same same... I'm trying a different strategy. The gasser died and is at the dump. She wants another "cheap" gasser and I'm refusing to look at one. We have a old Magma Catalina that I'm using for now but it has a bad hot spot and the internal temp drops like a rock with the slightest breeze so...

    Camp Chef Woodwind SG or Rec Tec RT700 Bull?

    Second thanks from me as well. I'll be getting a new RT-590 and I'm going to give the searing plates a try. (Searing fallback will be the Webber kettle.)

    Searing? (and RecTec)

    Just found Red's review of searing Ribeyes on his REC TEC and that looks pretty good to me. http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/183786/couple-of-quick-ribeyes-on-the-rec-tec-w-qview

    Searing? (and RecTec)

    I have a Webber 22" and Smoky Joe so yes, I can use them. My question was more to "How often do you need to sear something that's smoked? Also, been doing more research on the searing racks for RT and it sounds like it's an option that is not what I would want. Low quality sear with limited...

    Searing? (and RecTec)

    My gas BBQ died. Going to buy my first pellet smoker. Leaning towards the rt-590. How often do you need a gas unit to sear something once you go smoker? Also, how effective are the searing plates on a RecTec 590?

    Camp Chef Woodwind SG or Rec Tec RT700 Bull?

    I'm down to the same choice. Hope you don't mind me butting in. Regarding RT & CC; 1. how do they perform in cold weather (I'm northern Wisconsin)? 2. How long to heat up at say 65° outside temp? 3. Either one a particular pellet hog?

    Cleaning MES Window Without Any Chemicals At All

    Yeah, among other things I use both pumice and rotten stone to spot fix hardwood floors. Feathers in the edges so we'll you can't spot the fix.

    Anyone on here smoking anything this weekend.

    Lesson learned. Just say no to oak and either reduce brine time or use 1/2 the salt. Otherwise it was tender and juicy.

    Anyone on here smoking anything this weekend.

    Emulsified some of Jeff's rub into the brine and then I'll coat them in rub before smoking. Pic is of my modified ECB. Question - should I oil the theighs before applying the rub?
