Inaugural smoke on Rec Tec Mini
« Reply #-1 on: March 14, 2017, 09:11:56 PM »
Finally broke down and purchased a Mini and I'll be getting it on Monday.  Any suggestions for my 1st cook?  This is new to me on a pellet grill so as rookies go I am one.

Thanks

Welcome to the forum, Tony, from NE Ohio!

For your first cook on your new Rec Tec mini?  I think chicken is a great place to start.  It'll let you get a feel for how the grill operates without having to wait for a weekend for something like a pork shoulder that takes hours to cook. 

Spatchcock or split the chicken in half, season it up and cook it at 350° - 400° until done (Internal Temp of 165°).

Thanks Tent, 

I was thinking of chicken myself so I guess I'll go with that.

Hope you didn't get hit too bad with the storm that went through the area.  Living in So Cal sure has it's advantages.
