    Yoder YS640 vs RecTec RT-680

    I use the AMAZN Tube ( you can see it in the rib pic above) , if I feel like I am not getting enough smoke, or want two different wood flavors in the mix. I put too much smoke on some wings I did the other day believe it or not. I would say I am a fan of a medium smoke profile.

    Yoder YS640 vs RecTec RT-680

    I have the RecTec 680 with the smoker box on the side. I smoked on NYE in TN when it was 11 degrees and it held perfect temps all day (3-5 degree swings max). I am not dogging a Yoder, but I have nothing but good things to say about my smoker. It is the first pellet smoker that I have used ( I...

    3-2.3-1 Ribs

    In my day, I have done many a butt, countless wings, logs of bologna, and a couple turkeys, but I had never conquered the almighty RIB! So with a meat sale going on in my local area, I picked up a pack of what I thought was two racks of spares, but it turned out to be 3! So back and forth I went...

    Teriyaki Snack Sticks - Whole RecTec 680 Full!!

    I think they are good. I could take some more flavor too them. Next time I will not use as much meat to the seasoning ratio. It called for 12.5 pound of meat. Next time I will try 10 pounds as well as maybe put some cayenne or some other pepper to increase the heat factor. I would buy the...

    Mashed Potatoes - Side by Side with Turkey

    There will be two turkeys in attendance at our outing that the gravy will come from the other. So no smoked gravy here! It may be overkill but I was just going for convenience to be honest.

    Mashed Potatoes - Side by Side with Turkey

    Mike, I read all of the threads about smoke potatoes, none of them refer to mashed potatoes though. I am more concerned with the texture of the potatoes. If they are "smoked baked" potatoes, I didn't want them to have the wrong consistency. However we will see! Nothing a stick of butter or two...

    Mashed Potatoes - Side by Side with Turkey

    Has anyone ever smoked potatoes beside their turkey to later mash them up and use as mashed potatoes? I have read through all 19 pages of the veggies threads, but only potato threads I see, are about baked potatoes. In my line of work, I work with large seed companies and every...

    Teriyaki Snack Sticks - Whole RecTec 680 Full!!

    Here is a picture of the snack sticks I just finished up. I ground the beef and pork on night 1 and mixed in the seasonings/cure from Owen's BBQ. Let that rest in the fridge overnight. The next day I reground the meat and then stuffed it in the collagen casings and let those sit in the fridge...

    Kroger Turkey Quality - Is it good?

    Kroger has their brand of turkey on sale this week in my area for .59/lb. I end up having to smoke 3 for Thanksgiving and was wondering if the quality of Kroger's turkey was as good as any other?

    Fresh Kills

    Congrats to all the hunters!!! I can't wait for Missouri this weekend. I take customers out there to hunt every year ( I know, I know, rough job but someone has to do it). I have hunted about 10-15 days here in Tennessee already, but nothing worth taking a stab at!

    Hunting Success!

    Well done!!! Awesome buck and geese. Very impressive with a recurve, and a great way to get the blood pumping when they are 10 yards away! Only thing better than hunting the great animals is eating them, and you have made some super tasty looking snack sticks. I might take your approach on...
