    Anyone Custom Painting their Smoker/Grill????

    My rectec paint is less than perfect, and instead of touching up the 3-4 inch places that need to be touched up, I was thinking about just sanding her down and painting it all. It seems most people just paint their cookers black. That is all fine and dandy, but I was wondering if there were any...

    Family Recipe for Beef Stroganoff - With Pictures

    I haven't ever done a step by step on how to cook anything, but I thought (after some inspiration of going through Mr. Bear's how-to's) that I would give it a shot. This recipe has been in my family for years, and it is a staple at family events and dinners. It is very simple and fairly cheap...

    Who says you can't get good sear marks off a Pellet Smoker?

    Heated up the RecTec to just under 500 for this filet. Had no problem getting great sear marks and texture from this steak. Now, mind you I have the aluminum grates that sear better on my grill/smoker. Still very impressed with how versatile this machine is!!

    Filmy texture in Venison Snack Sticks

    Guys, I have made snack sticks from straight venison. (This may be my mistake) The sticks look/taste great, but they leave a thin filmy texture in the roof of your mouth. Am I doing something wrong? Thank you!

    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...

    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...

    Grandma's Meatloaf

    This weekend, I took my Wife's Grandmother's meatloaf recipe and smoked it instead of putting it in the oven. It turned out fantastic in my opinion! Their family doesn't care much for spicy food, so this meatloaf is pretty simply and kind of sweet tasting, but it is delicious. 3 lbs Ground...

    Finished Pulled Pork on a RecTec

    Once a month at a local grocery/butcher shop, they have a truckload meat sale, where they bring in tractor trailer loads of meat and you walk through the truck and pick your meat out. I really enjoy this sale as you get some pretty good deals. Picked up 2 of butts, 2 slabs of ribs, and some full...
