I should have expanded more on my post on this. I absolutely believe grass fed and finished is the best for dairy products. For beef, it’s not quite as clear. I like the flavor of grass fed/finished beef, but the grass fed/grain finished has more intramuscular fat, so there is that. Grass...

When you mess with the bull, you get the horns!

Good advise. 👆🏻

Foolish me, I always thought ‘spare the air’ meant don’t fart in the car or an elevator! Unless you can pull off blaming it on your wife!

Hah! The reality is the wife is undergoing major surgery in a couple of weeks and she requested ribs. Of all the things I cook, steak and/or ribs are her favorites! I’m blessed beyond words for so many things, and glad she shared two ribs with me!

Thanks! Both Meat Church. A light coating of the Honey Hog BBQ followed by Gospel BBQ which gives it that great red color.

So not cooked on a recteq, but I did cook a rack of St. Louis ribs today like nothing I have tried before. I did them on my PK grill, which I’ve never cooked ribs on before. I got 2 of the ribs, wife scarfed the rest! Cooked with a combo of Jealous Devil briquettes and lump, apple wood chunks...

I wouldn’t dispute the math nor would I fault someone wanting to skip the trimming step. But if you don’t have need for fat for other purposes (smoking your own tallow, add to chuck for grinding, etc., you are missing out on a ton of flavor useful in many ways. Speaking of the math, a 42 oz. tub...

I follow a YouTube account SmokinSteve, a gentleman that has a Bull and a Bullseye. He cooks all the time in a screened in po arch and I don’t recall him having an issue. However, I would have concerns that the smoke would discolor everything in the porch.

No experience with the Sam’s pre-trimmed brisket, but there are a lot of uses for the fat, especially if one grinds their own beef and pork. I make beef tallow, cut the fat into chunks and freeze for later incorporation into ground, lean, chuck to make great burgers, etc. it’s not often I throw...

Most, if not all, of the internal parts of a recteq are compatible with earlier models. I believe that @C. Keeper put a new controller in a 680 a couple of years ago.

As do I. I would have looked into replacing them with something, but the wife just loves the look of them.

I enjoy gardening, so I raise much more than we will eat. I used to take some to my neighbor, until he told me ‘We don’t eat many vegetables, but we would not turn down some of that BBQ that you cook.’ 😀 speaking of older folks, at 93 my MIL was still visiting a nursing home during Christmas to...

Just be careful that you are not paying a premium for grass fed, grain finished. Unless beef is 100% grass fed, everything else is grass fed, grain finished. There is absolute a difference in 100% grass fed beef and dairy products. If you have ever had Kerrygold butter, you probably already...

No need to apologize! I was just suggesting that your question may get more responses in its own thread.
