@cyclorphan I got it at a regular Costco. They are $3.99 now for choice. We haven’t had many prime briskets at our Costco for the past year. They typically run about $1per lb more.

Clearly she didn’t watch any Sumo wrestling!

It isn’t normal. Did you prime the pot and run the auger to make sure it was full of pellets? It sounds like it didn’t have the proper fuel and heat mixture for a normal ignition. My guess is if you open the lid and start it up again it’ll start. It may smoke a bunch until the pellets in the pot...

I wouldn’t go directly on the deflector because it’ll get too hot. Maybe a few balls of foil placed under the pan would give an air gap between the deflector and Al Pastor pan while still giving you more headroom. You’ll have to keep an eye on the meat at the bottom of the stack to make sure it...

@Elias you should sell him your Recteq which you obviously don’t like. Then you can buy a Yoder or make your own smoker. What a perfect opportunity.

I’m cooking up a brisket tonight to take to my son’s fire station for dinner tomorrow. I bought this in late October and tossed it in the freezer. When I got it out I thought about this thread so I checked the price. I have to say I was a little surprised. It’s only a Choice grade but still not...

@Jim6820 I’d be curious where your igniter sits in relation to the end of the tube. Is it even with the end of the tube? Slightly proud of it? My hypothesis is the way the igniter was installed has something to do with it. I’m sure there are other factors but after I adjusted my igniter rod I...

@Greg Jones I can smell them from here! They look excellent. What seasoning did you use?

Glad to hear you got some better help. To be fair this is beyond what customer service typically deals with. They can get a bit condescending when it isn’t a straight forward issue. Hopefully a little rewiring will get you up and running.

@abmet how do you like the grill? The food looks great!

Have you run each process in the test mode? You can check the fan, igniter and auger to make sure each is working. Is the RTD probe inside the grill standing straight up or is it bent? That can really mess with temps. Are the pellets brand new or did they come with the grill? We’ll need more...

Ummm…not always.

Do the newer versions of the Bullseye still have the spacer for the lid? And if so do you have it installed?

I used GrillGrates in my 700 until I got my Bullseye then got them for the Bullseye. I upgraded my Bullseye to a cast iron grate and now don’t use GrillGrates at all. If you want to do it all on the BFG GrillGrates will do all you need. They have scratch and dent sales regularly. It’s hard to...

The Scheels in Fargo, ND is listed as an Ace Hardware, not sure if they all are.
