What are you Grilling now?

Nate, what do you use in the tray? I haven’t had much luck with pellets staying lit in mine (nuking them in the microwave helps, but not much overall smoke volume) and wanted to see what you happened to be using.

I'm back at it and figured I'd try to show you what I do.

The "snake" is about 2/3's full of standard pellets (no prep) and then topped with mesquite chips.  I took out the trusty torch and lit the chip/pellet mix for about 30-45 seconds until an open flame persisted.

Then I simply blew out the flame which left a nice slow-burning smolder.

I find that one leg of the snake burning like this will last for ~3 hours which is plenty.

About an hour and a half in and things are coming along nicely projecting for a late dinner after kids finish basketball practice.

I mean, I'm not good at math some days but that seems like a shitty profit ratio (less than 1%) in a year where there grills were one of the main things people bought when they couldn't go out to eat. It was hard to find them in stock in the spring, that much I know for sure.  I hope it doesn't kill them.  I'd really like them to be around for a few years to support my grill.

First burn of my Recteq RT590, let it run for an hour or so and then made some chicken legs.  On deck is a pork shoulder and two racks of ribs.  Anyone have any favorite rubs or tools?

I have a favorite rub, but it doesn't have anything to do with food.

At this point I mostly mix my own rubs, probably 90% of the time anyway.

For pork: 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 2T of salt, 1T each: black pepper, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder (I usually go light on the onion powder).  

Naaman will tell you, and I will agree, for beef (brisket and ribs anyway) equal parts salt and pepper is a good place start.  Throughout the years I've lessened the amount of rub I use on briskets, a lot of commercial BBQ joints and YouTubers go way too heavy in my opinion.

When I do use someone else's rub I like Meat Church's stuff.
