    Getting ready to get a pellet smoker...

    For the 100 you save buying the Yoder with the comp cart, add another to it and buy a tappecue. I don't have one but have been thinking about it. http://www.tappecue.com/ Have also read some nice things about the Igrill 2

    Cleaning a pellet smoker

    I use a hardwood pellet mostly oak, I do sometimes use hickory, apple or something in the smoke tube. I clean mine (Rec Tec) every few cooks depending on what I made it may be more often. I foil the drip pan so it is easy to see when I want to change out the foil. I will usually clean out the...

    Cost of pellets per pound?

    I have one of the Rec Tec cookers and I honestly don't know how many pounds it burns, I use the same pellets that I use in my pellet stove. I have spoke to the company about how they are made and where they source the wood, lube the dies and if there are fillers. Their bags says ultra premium or...

    pellet vs bradley

    No MES or Bradley here, my electric is a cookshack, I bought a Rec Tec I like both of mine cookers but I can tell you that there is not the smoke flavor on the pellet cooker that is in the electric. Yes you can get good skin, you can also get bad skin, tough leathery not the rubbery stuff you no...

    Rectec what's bad about them

    Looks like you have the picture thing down, ribs are looking good. Mine doesn't do high temps, took 18 minutes to get to 275°, did a rack of St Louis cut today, 3 hours at 275 turned out great. mine has only seen 500 once and it took over an hour to get there.

    Rectec what's bad about them

    That is interesting, I have never gotten the smoke flavor that I had from other cookers. Glad you like it and enjoy the time you have now since you are not adding wood all the time.

    Rectec what's bad about them

    You can lay the tube on the rack, I usually put mine in the left rear of the cooker the air coming up helps to keep it burning. If you are happy with the smoke flavor you may not want one, I was after a bit more of the smokey taste, even with the tube I am not where I wanted to be flavor wise...

    Rectec what's bad about them

    There is a switch for the light to the right of the controller. The temp differential is something you will get used to and it will vary depending on where you put your maverick probe. The RT guys say the RT sensor is calibrated to read the temp in the center of the grill, so if doing a temp...

    IGNITOR ROD WONT HEAT !!!!

    Ignitors seem to go bad on a lot of the cookers. and your next one may last for a year, not sure why that is. Call the company they should be able to ship you a new one, you can always light manually until then I guess. About the only way to check it that I would know of is to use a DVOM and...

    Selling food by the roadside, for upcoming event. In PA couple questions looking for help. Thank you

    It is funny I ask this same question in the professional section of another forum and got a completely different answer for the most part. I am not sure if it would be worth the time and effort to do, but I think it may be fun, it seems like a lot of stuff to go through for a weekend and I...

    Looking for comparison between Cookshack and Smokin It

    I would go with the CS if finances were not an issue. I have a 12 year old cookshack Smokette, it has 3 racks that are 14x14 paid around 400 bucks for it then. It has made some of the best smoked food as for flavor, tenderness and moistness. So I am prejudiced, but I have never had a Smokin It...
