The thing is my low/slow cooks always take longer. Never anything else. 5.5 lb butt on now at 225 for 15 hours now and still only at 200. I don’t wrap bc I like bark, I understand wrapping speeds things up. Like I said before, my finished product is always great. just checked the calibration...

I performed tests as well with my own digital thermometer and it was registering the same as the bull for the most part at a variety of temp settings. That’s what’s kind of baffling me.

Thanks for the feedback. Was just more curious on this than anything. End results are working and that’s what matters!

interesting you say that. I noticed mine fit, but man is it tight and obviously are over the drip pan. Did you use a standard cutting wheel on that grinder? I wonder if a carbide tipped metal cutting saw would work as well? I’d prob be able to make a much straight cut with that.

Have had my 700 since May now and to say I love it is an understatement. Just wanted to pick some of the more experienced users brains on fine tuning this bad boy. I’ve noticed my long cooks usually take about 20% longer than a recipe would call for. Example would be ribs taking 4-5 hours to...

Didn’t at all. Not sure it needs it. Held temps fine and I’ve been using in some crappy rainy/windy days.

Thanks! I like more of a sear from flat surface as well. I hear you on the cold. 32 here this morning. Hope the cold and wind doesn’t mess up my first reverse sear today!

Man. Reverse sear is extremely high on my list of current priority’s. Always thought u had to do a 2-3” cut, but your pics tell me it will work for just about any. Been hoarding everything I see for the last few weeks and prob have 25+ lbs of assorted goodies. Haha question for the forum. Are...

Perfect answers to your questions and I agree with all. Was in your shoes 2 weeks ago Cap. Got my Bull on Tuesday and have used it 3 times, (raining during 2 of them lol). You won’t regret anything. This might be top 5 purchase I’ve ever made, it’s so great!

Central PA native myself now living in Delaware County. PSU alum and I just bought a Bernese Mountian Dog (Doodle) last month so we have quite a bit in common!

Hey Blair. From SE PA too (Delco). Got my bull on Tuesday and am doing my 3rd cook today. You’ll love the thing!

First shoulder (picnic) for me this morning. Gonna rain today, but F it. Wish me luck!

Did a turkey meatloaf in the rain yesterday For my second cook. It was awesome. Was worried about the rain, but worked like a champ. Doing a pork picnic tomorrow and it calls for u guessed it..rain. Forgot my after picture. Lol

Mine came yesterday and did the burn in with first cook of chicken thighs and bacon. Been annoying my wife as well with videos and message boards. Can't wait to get serious with this thing. I'm off work until August 3 so this hobby is bound to become an obsession!
