Has anyone been before? Apparently this year they've got the Carlie Daniels Band headlining, and some other local acts along with "food and BBQ".
Seems odd to have a major BBQ/country music event in the south during football season. UGA plays that day less than 2 hours away.
Worth going?
Most people estimate anywhere from 1-1.5 hours per pound, but I'm curious if the bone will have an affect.
How much time would you budget for the cook?
My best friend's birthday was this weekend and he asked me to smoke him a brisket. Our local butcher just happened to have some American Wagyu briskets in stock.
The new app looks nice, but having to little circle for the temperature setting as opposed to being able to enter the number makes it difficult to get a precise temperature for your probes or grill. Am I missing something?
I've got an RT-700 and love it, but obviously it's not ideal for hot/fast cooks as it can take a while to heat up, especially in the winter. I'm contemplating getting a gas grill (probably a Weber) for hot/fast/searing but I see where some people use a Bullseye for the same purpose.
What are...
As you can see, I've got probes in both ends. Currently, one is 140F and the other 120F. I'm concerned that if I take it off when the thick part is done, the thin part will be overcooked, but if I pull it when the thin part is done, the thick part will be undercooked.
What to do?
Now that pollen season is approaching for many of us, what do you do to deal with it, if anything? I got my RecTeq last year right after pollen season ended so I haven't had to deal with it until now.
My smoker sits on a covered screen porch, without a grill cover.

I hope everyone had a nice Christmas. Ours was a small gathering since nobody is traveling to us this year; it was just me, the wife, the baby, and another couple.
Smoked USDA Prime prime rib, Berkshire ham, smoked mac and cheese (6 cheeses + kurobuta bacon + truffles), loaded mashed potatoes...
Since we can't do a big family gathering this year and so will only have a few dishes, I want to make them each amazing. I've read through a bunch of recipes and from them created this below.
Thoughts? What can be add/removed to improve?
INGREDIENTS
1/2 pound elbow macaroni
6 slices...
I'm looking for ideas. In recent years I've been doing a lot less of traditional foods for Christmas.
So far this is our menu:
Snacks:
Smoked chex mix
Smoked cheeze-its
Jamon Iberico de Bellota
Prosciutto di Parma (aged 24 months)
Iberico chorizo
Main:
Smoked Prime Rib Roast (USDA Prime from...
Title says it all. What do you like best and, and why? Flavor? Low ash? High/accurate temp?
What would you stay away from?
In my RT-700 I've only used the RecTeq Ultimate Blend, Lumber Jack Competition Blend, and Lumber Jack Pecan. I honestly don't know that I could tell you the difference...
Thought I'd share my latest, made with my homemade Middle Eastern seasoning rub.
INGREDIENTS
1 small onion (chopped)
2 tablespoons lemon (juice of one small lemon)
4 cloves garlic (minced)
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon salt (optional, I didn't use any...
As the title says, I've been gone for a month and a half, so it's good to be back to cooking on the Rec Teq. First use will be a bunch of drumsticks slow cooked to give them a nice smokey flavor, then I'll crank it up to crisp the skin.
The three seasonings are Old Bay, Slap Ya Mama cajun, and...
