Use a digital probe meat thermometer such as the ThermoWorks Smoke to monitor the pork steaks so you’ll know when they reach their perfect done temperature. Longer is fine as long as the smoke is light. If you are using a charcoal, electric or gas smoker, keep the smoke going for at least an hour. Use pecan or your favorite smoking wood for smoke. Once the smoker is preheated and ready to go, place the pork steaks directly on the smoker grates or you can use a pan with a rack or Weber grill pan to make it easy. Just remember that temperature is the indicator of when they are actually done. This is usually at very low temperatures of 180☏ (82☌) so it doesn’t cook them much but it may trim off 15-30 minutes. I use to do these on the Weber Smoky Mountain all the time, most recently I have done them on a pellet grill such as the Camp Chef Woodwind leaving them on the special smoke setting for 45-60 minutes to get some good, high quality smoke on them before proceeding with the recipe. These do great in almost any smoker, even the grill. If your smoker uses a water pan, fill it up. In all cases stated above, contact customer support for immediate assistance.Set up your smoker for cooking at 225☏ (107☌) with indirect heat. If your recteq is successfully running past 300° then we can be certain that all your components are properly functioning: Reaching maximum temperatures typically comes down to two major factors: fuel and air. Rapidly lowering the temp and opening the lid will cause severe temperature swings. Avoid setting the grill to a higher temp than your desired set-point to cheat out a faster start. Starting 15-20 minutes earlier than you anticipated will not cause any significant loss through pellet consumption. Remember, your recteq is an extremely efficient machine. The grill must constantly fight against the cold outside air.In cold weather that steel will take some time to warm up, causing slower startup. The recteq contains a large amount of heavy stainless steel.Here are a couple things to keep in mind: While the recteq can and will maintain excellent temperatures in even the coldest weather, it will take a little longer, and be a little more difficult in the cooler months to come up to temp. Weather – Even a perfect balance of air and pellets can’t account for extreme weather conditions. Remember, air’s ability to escape is crucial to high and consistent temperatures.Ĥ. Clean the lip of lid and all other areas of ventilation.Dust can settle at the bottom of the hopper and keep your grill from feeding a steady stream of pellets. Let your hopper run empty after 5-6 bags.Clean your firepot often to keep the air-holes clear.Always store pellets properly before use.Avoid wood blends that include Alder, Mesquite, and Charcoal.Use only Food Grade, 100% Premium Hardwood Pellets.Avoid using pellets that are older than 6 months.Look for a bright sheen on the outside of the pellet.Ensure that the bag is not dusty and broken down.Make sure your pellets are no longer than one and a half inches.Pellet quality as well as how they are stored, and their age play a huge role in making sure that you are getting to temperatures on time. Pellets – Using the right pellet is just as important as air flow. Using it on the left will cause interference with the RTD.Ģ. Make certain that if you are using a Sear Kit, that you are using it on the right-hand side of the grill.Ensure that the RTD probe is not touching the wall.Do not extend or modify areas of ventilation.If using foil, make sure the foil is not hanging over air channels.Clean the firepot regularly to keep air-holes clear.Ensure all areas of ventilation are clear of obstruction.Air Flow – Proper air flow is one of the single most important factors in achieving high temperatures. If you feel your recteq is taking longer than it should, here are some possible reasons why:ġ. However, there are several things that may cause your recteq to start and climb slower than intended. Startup and achieving precise temperatures may take 20-30 minutes in some cases.
Keep in mind that pellet grills must start, nurture, and precisely control a live wood-fire. If you are new to pellet grilling, there may be an adjustment period when it comes to start-up times.
