    URGENT - REctec temp fluctuations

    Hi, I am doing two turkeys in my rectec on extreme smoke 225 degrees. My Maverick is registering the BBQ temp as 250.  Of course, that affects my smoking and I'm wondering if there is something wrong with the maverick or my rectec is not registrering temp correctly? Does it matter if I have...

    Turkey in new RecTec - early Canadian TG this SAturday

    I made some stock but didnt get alot, so I was thinking of getting some utility chickens and smoking them to make stock. Thinking about getting 6 or 8. Has anyone ever done something like that? I love the rich taste of smoky stock and my turkeys didnt have that. I imagine several 3lb...

    Turkey in new RecTec - early Canadian TG this SAturday

    The turkeys were a success.  I took your advice and didn't smoke for too long.  I did 3 hours at 225 and then the rest at 325 . Had a nice brown skin, could have had a bit more smoke flavour.  So at least I know I can go a bit longer for the smoky flavour.  The turkey was nice and juicy, even...

    Turkey in new RecTec - early Canadian TG this SAturday

    thanks for that info.  It came with a Maverick and I already have one as well, so I have two to monitor the temp.

    BTW, I did a pork butt today to christen the RecTec.  Didn't do it for pulled pork.  Put it in at 225 at 1 PM and it was ready at 7 PM.  Nice and juicy and OH so tasty!

    Turkey in new RecTec - early Canadian TG this SAturday

    I must not have been clear.  I will be using our new RecTec.  We used the MES previously.  I got crispy skin from that, which tells me the temp was higher than 225.   Sorry to be confusing.  I tried to explain I used the MES before, but can't gauge the time the RecTec will take b/c of the...

    We just got our new RecTec.  Canadian TG is in october (I live in the US), but I am doing it early b/c I will be crazy busy in October.  We have 16 people coming over on Saturday.  I have 2 - 15lb Turkeys.   We also have a MES that we enjoyed learning on, but found the unstable temp stressful...

    Back Ribs?

    Were yours baby backs?  I have the same  issue.  Bought some at Sam's... they say Pork Loin Back Ribs.   Don't know if they are considered baby.  They are not as wide as regular spare ribs, but they are considerably thicker.

    How long should i smoke babyback ribs?

    I have some back ribs that I got from Sam's.  They say they are Pork Loin Back Ribs.  No mention of Baby  Back.  Do I use the 3.2.1 or the 2.2.1?  They are pretty thick in some spots.   Also, I will have two on each of the three racks in my MES.  Will that alter the time if it is full?

    Turkey..Turkey..Turkey

    I did one on CDN Thanksgiving in Oct and another on US TG. Both about 13 pounds. I also have a Master built electric. I found the one in Oct took less time than Nov because of the outside temp. It was in the 40s in Oct and 20s in Nov and it took an additional 2 hours. I strongly recco the...
