Had my 590 for about 3 years now, have cooked on it a few dozen times, all sorts of meats. Was never impressed but I kept reading, trying new things, pellets, rubs, you name it.
It's been covered up all spring and with the Holiday weekend here, thought I would try again. Bought a great looking butt, marinade on it for about 12 hours, and fired it off yesterday morning at 220 with fresh pellets. Cooked for about 5 hours until inside temps were in upper 160's, but had the same result as always. Even took off grill and wrapped in butcher paper for an hour to let it rest.
Nice looking result, but sorta tough meat, dry and not much flavor. Have tried injecting in the past, and that didn't seem to impact the results either.
Any thoughts before I dump this thing and go to a stick grill? I love the rec-teq ease, set and forget, etc, but not the results after the cook.
Honestly have had much better results with my propane grill and a couple of fire boxes of chips than the 590.
Thanks in advance for your help!
