    Burgers

    Here's my take on it, yes there is bacteria on the outside of that chuck roast and when you grind it you're going to disperse it through the burger.  Is it going to make you sick, well maybe, maybe not, and probably not.  Restaurants have those disclaimers to try to protect themselves from...

    Are people on this forum "foodies"?

      Sometimes I'm not sure which I enjoy more, cooking it or eating it.  Actually, for me, it's probably watching other people eat it and how much they enjoy it.  Now, I've never been called a douche bag because of it, but have sent people pictures of what I'm cooking and having them tell me "I...

    My first brisket ever - OMG!

    So I bit the bullet, bought the packer brisket and proceeded to cook it on the Rec-Tec.  Trimmed it and rubbed it with Mad Hunky rub Thursday night, put it on the Rec-Tec at 220 degrees Friday night at 10PM.  13 hours later with an internal of 165 I wrapped it in foil and increased the temp to...

    Ordered a new REC TEC today!

    I so agree, I went crazy over the temps for a while, too, now I just cook.  I use the Maverick meat probe for the meat  and I still run the grate probe on overnight cooks, not for actual grate temps, but to have the alarm in case something goes wrong.  I set the alarm about 30 degrees above and...

    Grease spill

    You didn't say how long it's been, but I had something similar happen to me in the past.  First thing, kitty litter or Sorb-All as soon as you can will help.  Leave that on for a short while, sweep it off and squirt the whole area with Dawn dish soap.  Brush that into the concrete some, then...

    Rectec what's bad about them

    Ok, so the light is an issue ........ you should call them on that one for sure, it should go on and off just fine with the light switch.  The lid does not have a seal but that is easy enough to mod if you really find that necessary, which I doubt.  As far as the temp, it depends on where you...

    HELP FOR PIZZA PROBLEM !!!!!

    My past included owning a couple pizza shops back in the 80's, Chef JJ is spot on.  The right dough, a little cornmeal, a pizza peel and a hot stone oven, you're in.  Problem I had was all the people I hired made for inconsistency, that's what happens when you sell a lot of product.  So, we...

    Weekend workout on the Rec Tec

    Thanks Bear, Compliments from you are always most welcome.  Now that I see your post makes me think I should have made some peanut butter meltaways, too.  I didn't add pics of Dutch's baked beans either, they are pretty much a staple now at our house.  The pizza was for fun, so was the...

    Possible good pellet deal

    If you can buy in larger quantities, check out buying direct from some of the suppliers.  I'm ordering a pallet which is one ton, 50 bags, 40# each for $10.73 per bag, includes delivery.  These can be assorted any way you want from many different types of wood.

    First time smoking...please give me insight on how to correct

    I agree with BearCarver, I do baby backs about 2-2-1.  The key is to know what you're looking for in each step, the time is just a guideline.  Spares, full rack without being cut to St' Louis, those bad boys can take a lot longer depending on temp.  I usually cook my ribs until they are the...

    Weekend workout on the Rec Tec

    Put the Rec Tec through its paces this weekend and it didn't miss a beat.  Friday night was pizza then gave it a rest until Saturday.  Saturday, four butts went on for about 16 hours.  Sunday morning it was pineapple upside down cake followed by two racks of baby backs.  I love the pellet grill...
