I have never heard of clearing the auger tube. Nor have I done this in 3 years. I just pour the pellets in, burn pellets and repeat.
I just searched my RT700 and the RT590 manual and it says nothing about this...
Where???
@Armadillo59 on my Bull I always do my smoke step of the reverse sear at 180 and bring the IT to 110 ish. then throw it on the gasser on hot as it can get. ive done this with steak, leg of lamb, tri tips etc. always delish.
yup, just leave it shut - there is no need to be running it with the door open. gawking does not cook the meat :).
RE: outside temps - Where I live it gets below zero and snows a lot. I have used my Bull through it all. just get a cold weather cover or welders blanket. the grill will work...
