Hi all, thanks for having what seems to be a pretty great club. I’ve used the site for years and thought i should join the club to learn more, get more help, and hopefully assist some others along the way. I’m located in MA and BBQ at least several times a week on average.
My primary grill is a Webber gas however it doesn’t see as much use these days. Thanks to this site I bought a pit barrel cooker several years ago and that is my go-to cooker. Ribs are the specialty but I’m trying to branch out. I also just picked up a Webber performer charcoal grill used for a steal because I have been wanting to learn to use and smoke on one. I spent yesterday doing empty cooks just to learn temps and control. I’m currently smoking a pork loin on it as my first cook.
I am hoping to add two more cookers soon. The first being a green egg (or similar) when I can find a sweet used one for a deal. The second is a pellet grill/smoker for when I want to do larger cooks or can’t babysit it as much. I could use some help here. I’m really liking the Rec Tec 700 but can not find many reviews on it or realistic comparisons to other pellet grills. I want to make sure I buy quality that will last but don’t want to way overpay if it’s not needed. Any help/info is appreciated.
Thanks for reading all of this and any responses/messages anyone cares to send along.
Stay safe and happy smoking!
