Another help choose a smoker thread

[metsfan2152]

You’re gonna love it. Don’t know your location but I recommend the insulated jacket if you’re in the North. Makes winter smoking much more efficient.

Im in NY so it does get cold here. Im hoping to smoke in the winter this year though. I will pick one up if i do.
Do they make one for the RT-590 stampede?

Just an update. I did receive my rec today. Unfortunately its pouring out so i cant not put it together but happy it is here.
I also talked to rec tec and they apologized for the inconvenience. They are actually sending me a cover for the grill which is very nice of them.

Congrats on the Stampede metsfan2152. Wow, they're sending you a free cover for it?

I mentioned to you earlier that you can't beat their service. Before you can even get the grill set up, they've already extended the warranty on it 2 years beyond what it was when you decided to pull the trigger an buy it, to make it a 4 year warranty, and now they're throwing in a cover, a $69,98 value, because of your delivery inconvenience yesterday too?

That's exactly right. I was not expecting anything but i was annoyed cause i did need to take a half day at work today. I am happy they sent me something though to show that they care even though it was UPS issue.

That half day's work cost somebody money.

But instead of saying "eff you, we've got your money now", while they can't make it all right, they at least tried to soften the blow.

That kind of thing is going to make you come back for more accessories. It's going to make you recommend them to your friends and everyone else you know. And it's the kind of service that made me recommend them to you.

You try to do right by somebody, they might tell two or three people.

You do wrong by somebody, or demonstrate that you couldn't care less about their plight, and I guarantee they'll go out of their way to tell those whom they know, and whom they don't know just how you mistreated them.

Even though your delivery SNAFU was not their fault, they empathize with you in your aggravation yesterday because they want your purchasing experience to be as "right" as they can make it. And believe me, they want your ownership experience to be just so as well.

Why else would they extend the warranty on a product that I already bought and paid them for, months ago, and at an agreed upon price, for another two years?

Yea it nice they do well for the customer. Cant wait to set it up tomorrow. You ever buy the vents for the back for the rain?

I did. And I've never used the grill in the rain or smoked overnight where it ended up raining. So far, they haven't really been worth it for me. At least not yet.

When using the tube for the extra smoke, Do you put it on the grill for on your rec tec? Where do you find the best place for placement is?

 

[SlowmotionQue]

For the Stampede, I like to put it on the front grate, in a position which would be closest to you. In other words, right at or near the bottom edge of the front grate, closest to the edge and closest to you as you stood in front of the grill.

This is far enough away from the temp probe, far enough from the rear vents, far enough from the grease port.

Experiment with it though.

 

[metsfan2152]

Yea tried on the left for my first cook today.Thank you.

Looks great. How did it taste?

About the only thing I would have done differently from this pic, is I would have moved the tube into the position that I described earlier. First grate, bottom edge closest to you. In this pic, lengthwise from the front edge of your first slab of ribs to the bottom of the second slab closest to us. This gets it away from the grease port, gets it well away from the rear vents and the grill's internal temp probe, and gives it a better chance of dispensing a rolling smoke over the top of your food from front to back.

Oh, and congrats on the new Stampede. Glad to see that you have it up and running.

 

[metsfan2152]

Thanks I will try that next time. Still smoking. I’ll let you know how they come out.
