    Brand New Recteq Competition Cart for RT-590 Stampede Smoker (Northern Colorado)

    Brand new and still in the box. These are $300 plus tax/shipping (making the total over $315) from Recteq but are currently out of stock and difficult to get. Great way to get one local today and save about 10% off of retail price at the same time. Still boxed up and ready for it's new home. I...

    Green Mountain Grills Daniel Boone WiFi Control Board GMG Controller

    Brand New. Thought I had a controller issue but plugged in and confirmed it was a wiring issue on the smoker itself and NOT the control board. Fixed the wiring issue, confirmed that this new one worked and then replaced with my old one since it had all of my WiFi settings and what not already...

    Does RT Ever Put the 700 on Sale or Can I Buy Returned Items?

    I think I've narrowed my search for my GMG DB WiFi replacement to the RT-700. $1200 is a chunk of change so I'm wondering if they do holiday sales or anything like that that anyone has seen. I'm not in a hurry as my GMG DB works fine and mostly meets my needs. I'd like to wait for a good...

    Question for Rec Tex Owners: Can You Pre-Heat Remotely?

    tldr; Will the RT software allow you to power on and pre-heat the smoker from a network other than the one it's on? I have a GMG DB WiFi currently and while the WiFi feature is nice, it's woefully under featured IMO. One of the primary reasons I wanted WiFi was so I could power up and pre-heat...

    Need quick help: power off GMG DB WiFi mid-smoke?

    It's my first smoke & I'm having WiFi issues. I think I've tracked it down to a loose antenna connector on the outside cover to the controller. I want to remove the cover to have a look but the high volrage warnings have done their job. Do i need to go through the 15min 'cool down' fan...

    GMG Thermal Blanket w/About a 4-5" cut... Alright?

    I'm having a hard time finding a local shop that has the GMG thermal blanket in stock (lots of people wanting to use their smoker in Colorado winters I guess) and I finally found a local shop that has one in stock for $80 which is about the going price.  They also happen to have one that has...

    Wifey Just Got Me a GMG Daniel Boone WiFi for my Birthday!

    I've been using a MES30 (30" electric smoker from Masterbuilt for those that aren't in the know) for years now w/mixed results and had always been jealous of my buddy's and their pellet smokers that did stuff I just couldn't do.  Sure, I made some really, really, REALLY good meat with my smoker...

    Help! 2nd Brisket may have smoked too long... Dangerous to eat?!?

    I'll try to simplify this story but I'm running a MES30 electric smoker and had a 20lb brisket that I smoked.  I used salt & pepper and nothing else.  Poked my Maverick ET-732 temperature probe into the flat and popped it into my MES30 set to 225deg (monitored via Maverick probe) for an...

    Any pro tips for foiling your pork shoulder part way though the smoke??

    This seems to be the most difficult part of my smoke that usually involves me standing in the cold wind (sometimes rain) at about 3:00am cussing trying to get the shoulder off of my rack and onto the foil so I can wrap it.  I usually wrap at 165deg and struggle with this step.  I have even tried...

    Anyone Else Having Issues Trying to Change Your Password?

    When I try to change my password I get an error message that says 'You entered your original password wrong' which isn't the case.  I double and triple checked and the password I'm entering is correct.  My only suspicion is that the requirements for new password are such that maybe I'm trying to...

    Anyone ever cooked 50/50 burgers in a smoker?

    My wife made some 50/50 burgers (half bacon & half beef mixed by the butcher) and they were outstanding.  She said she wanted some for lunch tomorrow for our guests and I'm thinking I may throw them in the smoker (MES30) a couple of hours before our company arrives.  Curious if anyone has tried...

    Going to try CSR's for the first time in my MES30... Tips?

    I'm doing some searching and am coming up blank on trying to find a how to on CSR's for the MES30.  I've done other things so I'm familiar with operation of the unit and what not just looking for basic guidelines for CSR's specifically.  Looks like my target smoker temp should be 225deg like...

    2 Turkey Breasts for Tomorrow. 1 Fried & 1 Smoked (MES30) Halp!!

    Hey everyone, I'm relatively new to smoking as I got my first smoker this summer (MES 30) and have done quite a few smokes since.  I've never done a turkey breast in one and tomorrow is the big day.  Last year I fried a turkey breast a couple weeks in advance to practice and this year the...

    Do you guys clean your racks?

    These things are a PITA to clean & I think I read that some don't bother cleaning them between smokes.  I would love to just let it go but my OCD is getting the better of me on this one.  Convince me I don't need to worry about cleaning them.

    Open Letter to Masterbuilt re: MES 30

    To whom it may concern I recently bought a Masterbuilt 30" Electric Smoker from Amazon and am having some issues.  The first was that upon opening the box there was a rather sizable dent in the top of the unit near the rear that was readily visible.  The packaging itself was fine so this lead...

    Maverick ET-732 Low Temp Warning Maxes Out @ 175deg?

    Is this right?  This seems really low for a max for minimum temp when I can set the maximum alarm to somewhere in the 500 or 600's (I forget where but it's REALLY high).  Since eletric smokers are consistent it would seem that the ability to keep a more accurate temperature could necessitate the...

    Do You Guys Spray Your Racks w/Something Non-Stick?

    I'm curious if I should be or not.  I've been cooking right on my racks as I was instructed and at first this wasn't an issue.  I clean them when I'm done each time but as they get more 'seasoned' it seems that the bark wants to stick more now.  I'm smoking a pork shoulder now and just went to...

    Dang! Now My Pork Shoulder Wants to Cook too Fast?!?

    oi So based on the last couple I did (which were also the first couple I did) I planned my smoke for today's (actually tonight's) football game.  I've got people coming over so I decided to pad my cook time an hour and this was based on the last two.  My notes leads to believe that my average...

    Just Rubbed Shoulder... To Start Now or Early in the Morning? That is the question.

    I'm relatively new to smoking and last time I did a pork shoulder was the first time smoking (brand new MES 30) and it turned out amazing.  I rubbed it down with yellow mustard plus a dry rub (store bought) and then threw it in the fridge overnight.  Based on what I was reading online (1.5hrs...

    My New MES & the Indicated v. Actual Temperature Inconsistencies

    I wanted to start a thread to discuss the Masterbuilt Electric Smoker & the temperature inconsistencies to see what others are experiencing.  Notice I'm not talking about differences because differences can still be consistent then planned for and adjusted accordingly.  What I'm talking about...
