    Best thing to do is read some reviews. There are shears with bad features. Some are suggested here.

    RFX Range FWIW

    It's not a big deal to me if the RFX works through the foil or not. I just happened to give it a try on these two butts. Had I lost the signal I would have pulled the probes, re-foiled, and stuck the probes through the foil. I wouldn't think they were designed to work wrapped in foil rather than...

    Can’t taste different rubs

    If I put too much rub on it takes away from the taste of the meat. A good rub can taste bad if too much is used.

    RFX Range FWIW

    Last week I smoked (2) pork shoulders and/or butts @ 10# each using a RFX prone in each shoulder. When the internal temp reached 165 I foiled these in an aluminum pan, moved them to an oven with the probes still inserted, and finished them to 205 degrees. There was no loss of signal.

    Accurate oven thermometer?

    I do not like apps either. Last fall I bought a ThermoPro TempSpike XR Model TP862B. It worked for two smokes and died. Screen was dead and wouldn't take a charge. Amazon sent a me a return label and sent a replacement unit. The second ThermoPro TempSpike XR lasted 3 months and it too died. I...

    Gonna try a fast cook of pork shoulder...

    I smoked 2 shoulder butts today. Both were 10.5 pounds. Give or take a couple of ounces. Both in the smoker @ 275 at 11:00 AM. At 4:00 PM one butt was 155 and the other 165. Took both out of the smoker, put them in an aluminum foil pan, foiled them, and put them in the oven at 275. One of the...

    Laptop for Travel

    Before I retired work always furnished us with Dell laptops to use. We were always having trouble with the Dell's. One year I was furnished a HP laptop. I have been buying HP laptops ever since.

    Gonna try a fast cook of pork shoulder...

    I did (2) butts, 9 and 10 pounds respectively, @275 and they were done in 8.5 hours. They were just as good as all my previous butts done @ 225. I wouldn't mind trying 300 degrees if it works out for you.
