Are you cooking in a Kamado? And how do you make your own?

Fully welded 1/2" steel offset smoker. Once you learn it, she treats you right.

Have a cinder block, mesh grate setup. Start the fire on top of the grate, coals fall through after about and hour and some poking. The key is finding something ofa grate with the spacing you desire. Simply shovel coals into fire box when ready.

How do you like your RecTec? I have the Weber kettle for shorter cooks. I use a Pit Barrel Cooker when I need more capacity. But, the PBC is nearing the end of it's life. I have been debating on whether to get another one, buy a Weber Smokey Mountain, or switch to a pellet grill.

RecTec is a great grill. I like it more so than a typical box store pellet smoker simply because it is heavy gauge steel. Not the thin metal found in most offerings. The hopper holds 40 lbs of pellets, so that is nice to fill it and forget it. Other than that, it does what all pellet smokers are designed to do. I was nervous about going to a pellet smoker, but man it is the way to go for long cooks.

RecTec and Green Mountain pellet grills seem to be the best from what I can glean online. They are about the only thing that compares to my PBC in terms of ease of use. How fast does it go through pellets?

I tried to buy some Ribeye end caps to grill on Sun. but the Costco in Sarasota wouldn't cut them because they had about 10 packages of Prime Ribeyes...WITHOUT THE CAPS! in the case.

I spoke with the butcher and Costco rips the caps off every Prime Ribeye they get in and sell them separately. That's BS.

Yes, they sell prime ribeye caps steaks, wound and tied into round pinwheels. I won't lie though: they are PHENOMENAL. The Ribeyes they carry have the cap and the large fat stripe removed.

Still waiting on my furniture from California. I've not been able to grill or BBQ in over a month and it's killing me. Post some pictures of some beautiful food and let me live vicariously through you guys. Lol
