    Pellet Smoker - Need advice on first one

    Interesting. Looks like it tried to control heat by adding air. It doesn't add fuel though. For $30 you cant go wrong. Might be worth adding to my original grill. Ty

    Recteq 1250 with first self trimmed brisket

Its a tiny bit too salty 2) if i dont have time, thrn do the 180 super smoke for 2 hours and then 225 overnight and 255 day. But if i have time, i will do...

    Recteq 1250 with first self trimmed brisket

    Smoker has been at 255 since 8am, an hour ago to 270...sheesh is it stalled lol id like to rest it for 4 hours, but will probably be 2 hours. Lesson for next time, super smoke (180) 2 hours, then 225 overnight. And 255 at 8am

    Recteq 1250 with first self trimmed brisket

    Also, sounds like in future i should start at 225 overnight. That sound right? So is ultra smoke just for first hour or so?

    Recteq 1250 with first self trimmed brisket

    Thank you for all the advice. When taken out for wrap, i was expecting it to have juice coming out when the probe was put in. My fear is i made a dry brisket... Now its wrapped and in at 255. The pic is internal temp from being at 180 grill temp (so ignore 255 as that was just set). Im used to...

    Pellet Smoker - First Overnight

    Thanks all. I'll jot all these notes down and agree about tenderness vs straight temp or time. With regards to temp probes, the grill comes with probes (connect to app) and I also have a manual dual IR/Probe thermometer.

    Pellet Smoker - First Overnight

    Hey Everyone, My new RecTeq is on the way and this will be my first pellet grill. Previously I was using a Char-griller flavor pro (gas & charcoal/wood combo). The Char-griller is great, except it's completely manual process, so my rib/brisket smoking was limited to 6 to 8 hours. A lot of...

    Pellet Smoker - Need advice on first one

    That's what I was thinking, but for now I'll see how it does with the ceiling fan. If that doesn't work well, I'll try a fan mounted to the side of the wall. If that doesn't work, then kitchen hood that sides a few feet above the grill. At that point, the smoke has left the grill Thanks :)

    Pellet Smoker - Need advice on first one

    I see. Luckily the room is outdoors. It has a concrete/painted ceiling, a ceiling fan. 2 of the 4 "walls" are the house (sliding glass doors) and the other 2 "walls" are screens which allow airflow in and out (prevent bugs from coming in). There is a ceiling fan in the middle. I plan to keep the...
