I usually put a handful of pellets in the Firebox so the igniter has something to start immediately
Excellent Tip. I'll give that a shot next time. Thanks for watching and sharing.
Thanks for the video! We love our Rec Tec!
Thanks, great stuff! I'm a cleanie and I took the grill grates and drip pan out after my first cook and washed it all in my deep sink in garage. Realized later that's not good as it doesn't allow grates to "season". Gonna cook my first pork loin today! Only my second cook. So excited!
Good luck on the Pork Loin Dave. There's different opinions on the seasoning but in my experience a smoker doesn't hit its potential in results until its 4-5 good cooks in (seasoned). Cleaning the heavy debris is important but I never really want to get rid of the seasoning, although some disagree. Thanks for watching.
Appreciate your videos.....getting ready to buy a Rec Tec and I really enjoy your straight forward matter of fact simple way to explaining your BBQ processes.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the support Steve. Welcome to the Rec Tec family. There’s a few Rec Tec groups on Facebook that are informative, if your into Facebook. Keep the Smoke Rolling.
Spot on! that's exactly how I clean mine. I agree. I do not and will not use chemicals to clean my pit.
It works pretty good. Thanks for the feedback.
thanks for the post - I was taking my grill plates out and cleaning them cold - I like your method way better
That's what its all out about John, the BBQ community on TH-cam is truly awesome and full of friendly tips and tricks to help everyone out. Glad you got something out of it and I appreciate your support.
Love watching your videos and can’t wait to get a pellet grill of my own one Day
Chris, thanks for your support brother. Some say pellet grills are cheating. If your not cheating your not trying...right.. lol.. I can't speak for other pellet grills but the Rec Tec makes BBQ easy (no compensation from them at all). The food you can produce is just incredible. Thanks again
Just a word of caution. I had a neighbor vacuum his firebox out (not Rec Tec) several hours after cooking and left the vacuum cleaner next to a wood paneled wall. Several hours later (no one home) his two year old home burnt to the ground with car in the garage, too. Make sure ash has no cinders!
Sorry to hear that. That’s a horrific accident. No matter what type of fuel (pellets, charcoal, wood) we should always wait at least 24 hours before disposing of ash. A mistake like this can happen so fast you don’t realize it until it’s too late. Excellent comment.
Love my 680 5 years old
Jason, thats incredible. I think you may have the oldest 680 that I have come across. Have you had any issues? I appreciate you watching.
Michael Willey lord yes haha..
So are you generally happy or not so happy with it?
How do you store your pellets? In the hopper or a separate container? How difficult is it to change pellets if your hopper isn't empty? Thanks!
I leave them in their bags they come in but I keep them in my detached garage out of the weather. Its very simple to fill the Rec Tec with pellets. Open the hatch door and dump the pellets in. Thanks for the question.
Foil or paper towels for the firebox ? Thanks.
Best grill ever ...I have most of them to compare
Thats awesome to hear Jason, especially since you have tried a lot of them. I know its by far the best I've ever owned. Thanks for watching brother.
Have you notice any of the silicone sealant around the striker box coming loose as well as other seams?
No Carl I can't say that I have noticed any issues with the seals but now I will be keeping an eye on it. Thanks for sharing and I appreciate you watching.
Mine is 5yrs old. Most of the hopper red silicone has peeled off and eventually made its way to burn pot for some nice cancerous smoke flavor
I would touch base with Rec Tec. The warranty is 6 years although I'm not sure about what is and isn't covered. I do know they usually take really good care of their grill owners. It would be worth reaching out, in my opinion.
they just mail a new tube of red silicone. I’ll eventually just try to find a better silicone brand. I tried the black paint they sent me for the peeling lower barrel and it wasn’t good. Ended up buying a high quality stove paint that lasted a little longer. Now I don’t care and just let it rust.
Thanks guys, Rec Rec sent me the same tube of silicon, it’s blue. I’ve only had mine 1.5 years, I know shit happens but still there’s the whole get all the grease off etc to get the new seal on to make it stick. I started to ask them to send a guy out with the tube and do it for me! Lol
For the money you spend on a Rec Tec it should come with a self cleaning feature for the ash. Like how Pit Boss has
I didn’t realize their was such a thing. Awesome info. Thanks man, I appreciate you watching.
So, other than ash and grease removal from grill plates and ash around the fire box, what is the logic to any additional cleaning of the smoker? The commercial smokers and restaurant smokers seem to treasure the build up of carbon on the inside of the smokers. I'm going to have to research this....
I think keeping it simple is the best method. Thanks for watching.
Aluminum foil
