    Slaughterhouse Recipes

    Howdy and thanks for the recipes! I know this is an older thread but I have sort of the reverse of this question -- I won't need a full 1.5 gallons of brine. Could I cut everything in half (including salt and spices) and still be in balance? Just checking....... Many thanks, P.

    Smoke flavor on a pellet grill?

    On my RecTec Mini, there is a heavy smoke setting which comes on automatically between 180 and 250 degrees. I find that to be excellent in imparting smoke flavor (and yes, my smoker before the Rectec was a stick burner). I think (my opinion only) the reason why people don't get a lot of smoke...

    New Rec Tec Mini Temperature Issues

    According to RecTec, I have the auger setting (C-4) at the lowest reliable point (5.0). You can go lower (according to them) but your risk of flameout increases dramatically below 5.0. I haven't a clue how to get it lower than what I already get. I just re-tested with my new ET733 (finally got...

    New Rec Tec Mini Temperature Issues

    Howdy Neighbor Thanks for the reply. I haven't had a chance to use my ET-733 probe in the smoker yet since the first one shipped to me by Amazon was defective and I just received the replacement today. Will try to see what the temp is via that also. It seems to me that there might be a bit of...

    Q-View of Brisket

    Hi All: I must admit that I have been a lucker here for the past two summers. This is probably my first post. I have learned a lot here which has resulted in my neighbor's visitation when they smell my smoker cranked up. Am in Northern Virginia and have a BBQ Galore off-set smoker which my wife...
