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...
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...
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...
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.
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!
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.
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...
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!
On my 25th month of the older style MES 30. Control box totally died today. Yeah, I do use it a lot, but barely over 2 yrs old and dead.
Ok,
1. I use it a lot. A good.. almost 3 times/month. Say 30-36 smokes
2. Sure, I only paid $175 for it
3. Yes, I'm still whining like a girl who...
I really like the tangy-spicy style sauces with only enough sweetness to balance - not come through predominately. I tweaked this to wear it's now in my will. Simple and clean tasting, low salt, with tangy has the forward flavor but not overpowering (for me, at least). Tweak at will!
3/4 cup...
I, like many, have done the same research and posted similar threads - like..."Is the Yoder worth $750 more than the Rec-Tec 700". Check that one out.
I'm going with the Rec-Tec 700 based much on that thread's logic. Fits for my needs.
Yup. That's how I do it. I don't even check IT. I just blast a spatchcocked bird for 1.5-2.0 hrs at 225. Then blast it at 425 untill crisp. Best roast chicken ever!
