There are some here that believe leaving a recteq out in the weather without a cover is a crime punishable by who knows what. Especially if there are pellets left in the hopper. I have two recteq grills (340 and 700) that have been left outside, without being used, since March 5, 2023 (not a...
Totally not related to cooking, but proud papa here… So my son, who is an officer in the Air Force stationed in Germany, has been stateside for 4 months for training in Texas. He’s headed back to Germany tomorrow via North Carolina, but he spent a week’s leave doing a WWII reenactment in...
So, this has nothing to do with cooking on any pellet grill/smoker, but indulge me for a moment if you will. Five years ago I met the amazing Chef Sarah Bradley from the freight house restaurant in Paducah, KY at a charity event in Hindman, Kentucky called Dumplin’n and Dancing. Since then...
This obviously has nothing to do with recteq grill cooking, but it troubles me that the national media has little or nothing to say today on the history of 12.7 anymore. I visited my daughter and SIL in Hawaii two months ago and visited Pearl Harbor. My SLI, a former Marine, is a contractor with...
So, I’m sure that most of us are aware of the safety concern of using a wire brush style cleaner on our grills. No question that people have ingested pieces of wire and sustained serious injury. Because of this potential for injury, I switched to only using a coil-style brush some time ago...
Steak video Pretty interesting steak video from Chris Young, founder/owner of Combustion Inc. thermometers. it jumps pretty deep into tech talk at times, but Chris is a scientist. The thermometers get mentioned also, but it’s not a commercial either.
So, I grew up on a farm. We killed and quartered our beef (and pork). Took it to a processor where they cut it to our specs. Fast forward to today-there is often some confusion over beef plate ribs and beef short ribs, Aaron Franklin (who knows something about beef) with an excellent video on...
Jeremy Yoder and Eric Rowley have Part 1 of a new video on pellet grill use out, and it looks pretty good. They call it a beginner’s guide, but there is something for everyone discussed here.
I’ve literally waited for 16 months for this to arrive-a Miyabi Artisan rocking Santoku knife from ZWILLING. I’m a big fan of Santoku knives, and also in the picture one can see my Wusthof Blackwood that has been my favorite chef knife for years now. Hoping that the Miyabi lives up to its hype...
This is probably not going into the forum it should be going into, but if you are not following Matt Pittman/Meat Church on YouTube, you are seriously missing out on some great YT content. Forget for the moment that he mostly cooks on a Mill-Scale offset or a Traeger, he’s truly a master of...
Pretty good YouTube video from Mashed explaining USDA beef grading. Nothing to do with grading, but how long will it be before people stop saying “At the turn of the century” to describe the beginning of the 20th century?
Well, this is a big weekend at Casa Jones! Our youngest son is off to his Air Force duty assignment base in Spangdahlem Germany in 10 days, so this weekend I’m cooking up my best stuff for 25+ people. Biggest cook I’ve ever attempted! First on the (Yoder YS640S) grill is a Wagyu brisket from KOW...
Well, this took about 8 months longer than expected due to COVID and other logistics, but my youngest son’s diploma arrived here today. He has a degree in physics from The Citadel, Military College of South Carolina and has been commissioned as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force. He will...
Anyone else receive an email from Wild Fork that essentially says that at some point they will fire you as an unlimited member if you don’t live in a state where they don’t have physical stores? If I understand this correctly, since I just renewed my annual membership 12/25/22, I’ll be granted...
I apologize for posting this in the recteq forum, but I’m not on Facebook or other social media sites, and I’m looking for some assistance. My daughter’s dog is sick and in a vet hospital in Jax Florida. She thinks it is poisoned and she sent me this photo from her yard and the best I could come...
