    Meat and potatoes-giving tri tip a second chance.

    I make tri-tip OFTEN. Love it. I've settled on super low smoke temp (~200) until IT of ~120. Then sear both sides crispy. Thicker end at med-rare and the thinner side closer to med-well, it's a win for all! I find the sirloin to be one of the beefiest tasting steaks available. I love, love...

    Which pellet grill I should buy? Traeger, Camp Chef or Req Teq?

    Wow. Thanks for those wild-ass assumptions and poor comparisons, little Fokker. I've cooked on Traegers and Camp Chefs...I like the CCs, but I felt the RT was clearly better and all American made. But I guess I wouldn't know. MAK ($3200 for RT-700 equiv.) and Yoders ($2139 for equiv) are...

    Which pellet grill I should buy? Traeger, Camp Chef or Req Teq?

    1. Better warranty 2. Made in USA 3. Heavier gage, better materials, beefier construction 4. PID controller (mine holds dead nuts temp. Traegers are all over ±30°) 5. Call for info...an American answers the phone and doesn't transfer you anywhere. No buttons - a friendly human 6. I'm not...

    Which pellet grill I should buy? Traeger, Camp Chef or Req Teq?

    Honestly, from those choices...for me.... it's a no brainer- Rectec. I've had my Stampede for almost 3 years and it's exceeded my expectations.

    Whole Turkey Breast Question

    It's "Honeysuckle" brand from Aldis. Likely the Costco equivalent. It's whole, with bones and 8.4 lbs. Says it's been "basted" in up to 15% solution. Sounds like the same description as on a Butterball brine.

    Whole Turkey Breast Question

    Would you recommend and injection for a whole breast or just a brine? What are your thoughts on seasoning? First time on a whole turkey breast. Does have the 'insurance' of fat content like a pork shoulder or brisket. Thanks all!

    ok, so you would prefer Lumberjack or CookinPellets ?

    Recommendation needed - cost effective flavorful pellets

    Between Rectec and CookinPellets, what do you folks think? I'm almost out of my 200# of Rectec pellets from when I bought my Stampede. I think they're working good, but I really have nothing to compare them to.

    Pellet burn rate for RecTec 590 Stampede

    That's reasonable as compared to others. Thanks all!

    Pellet burn rate for RecTec 590 Stampede

    I guess I should ask - what are the cheapest 100% of the wood pellets?

    Pellet burn rate for RecTec 590 Stampede

    Yeah, I'm sure that's a good pellet but I've been leaning toward 100% of the wood. So apple needs to be 100% apple. Hickory, etc. I use Amazen right now and their apple/mesquite are 100% of that wood. Those tend to be more pricey. At the end, I'm thinking, there's this awesome BBQ right...

    Pellet burn rate for RecTec 590 Stampede

    Well, not too bad

    Pellet burn rate for RecTec 590 Stampede

    If you were in a typically 50-80 degree environment on the RecTec 590 Stampede, what do you expect your pellet burn rate to be if maintaining say....230°? Thinking of buying but If I'm burning $20 in pellets for a shoulder, I may think twice. Thanks all!

    Sort of dissapointed in my MES 30

    Yeah, I get it. You guys trying to take away my excuse? Given my frugal nature, I'll definitely look into it.

    Sort of dissapointed in my MES 30

    Older model is much more than the newer model.
