Rec Tec feedback
Add me to the list of happy customers, my mod was also the front shelf. Customer service has been great, not that I really needed anything, just asked general questions and got info. I've had mine about a year and a half, use it very often, several times a week all year round, no issues. I did...- frog1369

Smoking in a propane grill safe?
I have smoked in propane grills for many many years. Started off with foil and chips, moved up to a smoker box with chunks and have tried various tubes and such. Honestly, on the propane grill I liked the box and chunks best. I never had any issues with creosote or grill damage but it's not...- frog1369

methods of smoking ribs
I don't disagree with what you said, but that method I posted came off the Pellethead site and was given up by a very reputable member with reference to the Pitmaster who had given it to him. No one said to spray constantly, it was prior to the smoker, after one hour, again if they appear dry... -
methods of smoking ribs
I got this off another site and tried it last weekend, they came out pretty good. I will try it again with a little modification, I think I will spritz with the grenadine/apple juice through the whole process. It gave the rib an interesting flavor. I also glaze with a peach glaze that has a... -
I need a new Vacuum sealer. Any suggestions?
We really like the adjustable vacuum, like you said, for things like fish, ground meat, veggies and fruit. Also, agreed the roll thing is not that important, with the price of bags we don't use it very often. Rolls come in handy when we want to package whole slabs of ribs, etc., something we...- frog1369

I need a new Vacuum sealer. Any suggestions?
That's a good very basic unit and is definitely in your price range. This one is a step up, I just suggest you compare features and believe me, you will use it a lot more than you think you will today. In the end they are both good units, one just has more features like a variable vacuum and...- frog1369

Tube smoker vs pellet tray for a gas grill
This has been my experience, your mileage may vary. I did try the tube on the grill and way too much smoke. So, I shelved the tube until I got my vertical gasser. I was going to buy a tray but talked to Todd and he said there was an issue with oxygen and the tube would better serve me in...- frog1369

Tube smoker vs pellet tray for a gas grill
I would contact Todd at A-MAZE-N and ask him what might be best. The tubes and trays put out and awful lot of smoke for use on a grill. I tried on a long time ago on my gas grill and it put out some serious smoke, food was much better with chips in foil and then I moved up to a smoker box with...- frog1369

Mule's easy to peel fresh boiled eggs
Definitely use the ice water, you can also crack the shells when they go into the ice water, makes them real easy to peel as you're taking them out of the water. Hands do get cold, though! I played with eggs over Easter in the Sous Vide, wanted to make some great deviled eggs with nice...- frog1369

Digital meat thermometer question
Yep, altitude for boiling water is everything. My wife makes candy and two degrees makes a big difference. Here in Wisconsin we're lowland, just over 900 feet above sea level, but water boils here at 210. She has to adjust by 2 degrees when making candy. Funny part is meat temp is meat temp...- frog1369

Advice and comments on Vertical Smokers to buy?
I don't have a window but it seems like it would not be easy to see through not long after a smoke starts. I have a light in my Rec-Tec and have given up trying to clean the lens, now I just don't use it. I understand the benefit of two drawers so you don't have to open the cabinet, but...- frog1369

I'm hooked on smoking!
Just remember, you're looking for thin blue smoke, it should actually look blue and be almost non-existent to your sight. In your pics above, the smoke coming from the stack would be a concern to me. White or black smoke will overpower the flavor of your food with a bitter taste. Also, like... -
Advice and comments on Vertical Smokers to buy?
Dan, When I bought my vertical I looked at Smoke Hollow and Landmann, both good units in their price range. That said, I ended up with a Smoke Vault 24 by Camp Chef and have been very happy with it. It looks good, it cooks great and I have had zero issues with it. It seems to be a little...- frog1369

stupid question about ribs.
338lapua, You can get great ribs with or without foil. My family likes them either way but my friends really like the ones I foil. You'll have plenty of cooks coming up, experiment, try it both ways, try new things. The nice part is you get to eat your experiments. Here is a link to a cook...
