    Calzones and Pizzas from my Ooni Oven

    Hadn't seen the pizza section before. Thought I'd share some pics from my Ooni Koda 16 in case anyone was interested in what it can produce or had questions.

    RecTec Trailblazer: Maiden Voyage Impressions

    The folding legs have a little play in them when locked and standing, but are fine on a hard, flat surface. Build quality seems good. I had an issue with it running hot my last 2 cooks with the lumberjack pellets, but customer service helped and thinks the minimum feed rate was too high for the...

    RecTec Trailblazer: Maiden Voyage Impressions

    I've got a sampler pack ready to go for this weekend as well as some Jack Daniels pellets. I used to use the jack wood chips and liked the flavor they imparted.

    Mes quit during the night.

    My MES died and did something similar one night. I had a Bluetooth thermometer so I knew the temps were similar to what you're saying. My wife had surprised me the day before that I was cooking for 30 people for someone's birthday party. Pulled pork was my only option at that point. Tossing it...

    RecTec Trailblazer: Maiden Voyage Impressions

    Yeah it makes quite a bit of fan noise when the fan is running. It's no hair dryer or vacuum, but it's unexpectedly loud. Oddly it's got a similar volume and sound to my microwave running.

    Update On My Wife

    Wish you both luck and a speedy recovery (like pregnancy, this truly effects both members). Though this may not be the best place to post it, there is a study out there that looked at frequently eating smoked meats and the impact on cancers. It was not favorable for our hobby unfortunately (as...

    RecTec Trailblazer: Maiden Voyage Impressions

    I bought a RecTec Trailblazer a couple days ago and thought I'd share my initial thoughts and results in case anyone was interested. I'm coming from an MES 30 that I had for about 2.5-3 years and finally had the heating element die for a frame of reference. Ordering The process was super easy...

    Pit Boss Austin XL... Anything better for $500 or less?

    I just bought a Trailblazer (it is actually on its maiden voyage as we speak) stepping up from an MES that died. How much space do you need? With the second shelf there's room for me to make a tray of beans, a tray of Mac n cheese and 2 racks of ribs. I was planning on posting pics and stuff...

    What to smoke

    You could do a tri-tip and do sandwiches in that sort of timeframe.

    First Smoke!

    Just finished my first smoke using all the help written around here. Thanks for all of that! I did a whole chicken because I wanted to try it instead of halving it. I also smoked a pork butt with it. The chicken was covered in olive oil and then a garlic peppercorn rub. The pork was smothered in...
