Allow Enough TIme

April 16, 2022, 07:44 AM

Allowing an extra 30 minutes was not long enough. Lesson learned.
We had a special event to attend this Friday 1/15
I was planning a 32 oz Tomahawk steak reversed for dinner before leaving for the event.
My Traeger did not come up to temperature as planned. Time was ticking away.
So I purged the pellets, did a quick vacuuming out of pellet dust from the hopper, and feed auger.
Fille the hopper up with more pellets, all while my grill was still running with alarms going off for low pellets.
Got the temperature up, 225*F super smoke.
Was able to finish the cook at a higher temperature. But in panic mode steak was a little undercooked
Well, it might have been undercooked but hopefully, it looks good.

About Me
My name is Josh, not Joey (surprise), and I reside in Central Ohio. I have been grilling since I could drive, and smoking for around 15 years. Over the past couple of years I have gotten more into just cooking, and really enjoy sous vide and the flat top. I find myself experimenting with different foods and new ways of cooking as an outlet to work stress. I use every piece of equipment I own regularly, with the exception of the electric smoker. That only gets brought out on occasion to make jerky.

My favorite beverage is bourbon. I typically have at least 8-10 bottles open at any given time. While I have favorites, I enjoy sampling new and different varieties.

This reminds me that I need to do some similar cleaning and general maintenance on my Recteq. Thanks for the reminder. Glad you still were able to enjoy that beast of a steak!

Ditto on cleaning and general maintenance. Not to forget the fuel factor on pellet grills.
Mostly keeping it clean and pellets dry.

No such thing as undercooked steak. Blue for the win!
