    REC TEQ Deck Boss 590

    I just bought a RecTeq 590 recently. First one was defective, 2nd one I have only used once but it seems to hold temp well, is solidly built and has plenty of hopper room. Customer Service is pretty good. So, overall I would recommend a RecTeq.

    Rec Teq Deck Boss first smoke

    so, I finally got a replacement, it arrived yesterday. The delay is not on RecTeq as I asked them to delay shipment as I was out of town last week. I need to unpack the new smoker, pack the defective one into the packaging and then notify them to have the freight carrier pick it up. I will...

    Rec Teq Deck Boss first smoke

    So, it was all strange and happened fast. I was cruising along for 3.5 hours at 250 all fine and then shortly after I pulled the pieces of pork off and put them in a foil pan it started doing a quick set of spikes, I dropped the temp and tried to get things back under control but then the fire...

    Rec Teq Deck Boss first smoke

    well it was not the debut I hoped for. Not sure what is up but a few hours into the smoke I started getting wild temp swings and then a fire under the drip pan. First time using it so no grease build upon etc. The outside of the grill where the bottom meets the smoke chamber literally melted...

    Rec Teq Deck Boss first smoke

    I got my new smoker this week and put it together and did the burn in on Friday, today is the first smoke. Decided to do some pork butt burnt ends. Looking forward to getting a lot of use out of this Deck Boss.

    RecTeq Deck Boss 590 vs Camp Chef Woodwind SS24

    so, I am considering the Deck Boss 590 from RecTeq and also the Camp Chef Woodwind SS 24. I have heard only good things about ReqTeq and was about to make the purchase. But what I hate about my current smoker, a Pit Boss is the clean out where you need to take the grill grates and heat...

    A fun way to cruise the campgrounds.

    I am planning on getting a two wheel e-bike soon. Hoping they come down in price a bit and they seem to be coming down a bit.

    Three point cuts of brisket, want to do burnt ends

    hi all thanks for the replies. I am going to cook to tender whole, and maybe butterfly if they are thick, as suggested above, and then cube up and go from there. thanks!

    Three point cuts of brisket, want to do burnt ends

    so I have three separate brisket points all around 3 pounds or so. I couldn't find a whole packer and the place had separated the point and flat cuts, so thinking of wanting burnt ends, I bought the points. I am thinking of smoking them "as is" after rubbing them up and then pulling them around...

    Sweet ‘N Peppery Vortex Ribs

    great job on those, I need to do Vortex ribs again I have only done them once despite the fact that my local grocery store sells pre-sliced ribs. Definitely taste a difference with Vortex ribs, a different texture than slow smoked ribs, different but very good!

    Traeger grill tripping RFID outlets

    I had the same issue a while back on my pellet which is not a Traeger but a Pitt Boss, and it was the ignitor, it was an easy fix. Good luck.

    chuck roast for chili

    it turned out pretty good! Very tender meat and nice flavor. For next time, I like the ideas above of cubing the chuck first, I smoked it whole and the smokey flavor was there in the chili but not as much as I would have thought. I like the cube idea and smoking some liquid to put in the...
