    Where to order Duroc online

    Smoking pork butt is definitely the way to go for our family since everyone loves it (my kids are picky eaters) so I do it often. As I read more articles about the high end pork (Duroc, etc.), I am very curious to perform a smoke comparison of the high end versus what I typically get (local...

    I have not been able to find on any website where BBQ pellets made by the different manufacturers are independently tested, characterized and rated.  I realize that there would be some subjectivity in those ratings, but even if the results would point out what pellets should be avoided (low...

    I can purchase a 6 month old Rec Tec RT-680 locally for $820, which includes the cover, the front fold-down shelf and 100lbs of lumberjack pellets.  The current owner purchased it new (near $1500) in October 2016 but wants something larger now, so he's looking at purchasing a Yoder 1500. I...
