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.

My first griddle was a Blackstone and any wind at all made it unusable. I would have expected that they addressed that better in the years since. I’ve now also owned a Pit Boss and last year bought a Halo. These folks, especially Halo, have the wind thing figured out.

You perhaps will get better/more responses if you start a new topic, as this one is not about keeping the grill clean.

Never had one myself, but they look great!

Having been raised on a farm where we had beef cattle, @Waterboy is correct. We never had cattle that had the Texas Longhorn look. Our cattle, (mostly Angus, Hereford, Charolais, or a mix) if we never dehorned them in the first place, the horns were pointed up or curved in like a recteq grill.

Looks great! For me personally, pork tenderloin is one of the toughest cooks to do well on anything. Almost zero fat and so easy to dry out-did I not get an invite for dinner?

Frustrating, no doubt!I find that it (often) jams at a bend in the hose. Just straighten the hose, feel for the hard spot in the hose, squeeze it a few times, and it clears without ever needing to turn the vac off. I’d get a dedicated vac for ash removal myself, but perhaps others here have...

Not all of them. And thanks to recteq, not all griddles are powered by propane OR electric. Add to that the fact that many griddles can be converted to natural gas. I expect that most here have an understanding of what someone means when they say griddle or gas grill.

I’ve seen Winnie on some Harry Soo YouTube videos, and while I know she is good at BBQ, how she located the financing for what she is doing is even better!

The one part on a recteq that seems to be most prone to failure is the igniter, and you can light your grill with a MAPP torch. I keep no spare parts for my recteqs.

The sear kit from recteq is made by GrillGrates so I would shop them for where I could get the best deal. As far as the utility, I used them a lot when I cooked on a BGE and also when I cooked on the Bullseye. Frankly, I can’t even remember the last time I used mine because I like my burgers on...

I’m the same way. Different pellets may smell different when burning, but when the food is on the plate I don’t think I would ever be able to tell a difference.

I have one in my RT-700. I’ve not put wood in it for years now because as mentioned it is not convenient to get to. Smoking chunks are not hard to find, so I don’t see that alone being a drawback. I’ve kept it in the grill because it doesn’t warp like my OEM part did, but with today’s cast iron...

Nice, congrats! My wife and I are both on our second marriage, so I don’t think 40 years is in the cards for us. But I will happily take 25 and counting!

Oh yes! There was nothing like the muscle cars from the late 60’s to the early ‘70s. Such a timeless look for cars 50 years old today. I’d take the look of that 1970 Chevelle over anything made today. Other than the vinyl top. Can’t say I was a fan of those.
