Upgraded REC TEC Bullseye | Slow Smoked Boston Butt

[@gammabanky37]

I love seeing Nick Swardson doing so well. Loved you on Reno 911.

[@joeygarcia4277]

Hahahahahah, exactly

[@CaptainQueue]

Putting on the mustard and spice bare-handed. You are the MAN! You could just grill your hands if you ever had to.

[@billdobberpuhl9507]

Bought a Stampede about a year and a half ago because of your videos. I could not be more happy living the Rec Tec lifestyle. Tomorrow I’m throwing some beef short ribs on her. Can’t wait! Keep up the great job friend!

[@StokedOnSmoke]

Yewwww!!!!! Stampede is my fav grill period of all time. I often tell people it’s the best grill money can buy.

[@thomascaldwell463]

Thanks buddy !!! I just purchased a rectec bullseye and plan to smoke a boston butt this weekend. Thanks for the guideline.

[@big-action]

got the bulls eye over the holidays doing the first butt next week going to try to do the low overnight.....wrap in am and see what happens.......salivating already

[@jlunde35]

Great seeing the Taste Testers back and all grown-up. Nice work ladies.

[@blainejb7]

Nice video, just bought one myself and excited to try that cherry on a boston butt

[@jollyfolly3980]

Is it safe to leave overnight and cook? I've seen people have flare ups.. does the pan catching the droppings eliminate the problem?

[@BLITZEMON]

Nice pork.! Great to see you back.! I believe you were the first bbq channel I subscribed to, many years ago. Thanks for the training you have provided me. Be well..

[@StokedOnSmoke]

Thanks for all the support all these years Dave!! That means a LOT!! 👊🏼

[@coreyorange4627]

Glad to see you back! Awesome cook, like you said RecTec is hard to beat for low and slow overnight cooks!

[@StokedOnSmoke]

Thx Corey! 👍🏻

[@willanderson77]

@@StokedOnSmoke have you noticed the actual internal temp running quite a bit hotter than the temp setting on the unit? I've seen a few videos where theres a 50 degree difference(hotter than the setting)...is this an issue and is there a remedy?

[@CJoefarhat]

@@willanderson77 that's certainly a significant difference, seems like a glitch. Would have been nice if you received a response.

[@mr.rotdog4244]

You cooked the butt overnight for 12 hours did you have to get up at all to had more pellets or was one hopper full enough?

[@phatrides222000]

i was thinking the same. Mine seems to fly through pellets

[@zacw5850]

Is the rectec worth it? Any other smokers you'd recommend over it?

[@jgbswb]

Nice cook!! Butt looked awesome! Ready to order the new Bullseye! Our 1st Gen Bullseye has been awesome, cook on it 3-4 times a week!

[@StokedOnSmoke]

I cooked on my first gen one all the time too. You’re gonna be so stoked on this new one 👊🏼

[@denrayr]

Steve, like others, I'm glad to see you're back. I'd like to hear your opinion on pellet vs charcoal for overall flavor. I bought a camp chef last year when my akorn rusted out. You can't beat the convenience, but I don't find I get much of a smoke flavor in the final product. I've resorted to supplementing the smoke with a smoke tube which does help, but after a year of experimenting, I think I'm ready to go back to charcoal. What has your experience been with pellet grills?

[@gamvik352]

Would like to know the answer to what you asked as well. The convenience has me thinking about the spider grills kettle attachment or this new bullseye, but charcoal and wood chunks is hard to beat in the flavor department unless using wood splits. Don’t know if I should pull the trigger, I plan to get a smoke tube as well or wood chip smoker box.

[@bamabackroads1203]

I just ordered the bullseye myself after borrowing a buddies for about a month. Was impressed with how simple, and easy it was, and loved being able to dial up the temp to sear steaks, but disappointed in the flavor being a charcoal guy. What convinced me to order one was putting charcoal in the smoke tube. I've only done burgers but they actually tasted better than any I've done in my Weber. I just took a hammer and smashed five or six briquettes into chunks small enough to barely fit in the smoke tube. As soon as I tasted the burgers I was sold. I think I'll more than likely still do butts on my Masterbuilt upright with a smoke box attachment unless the bullseye surprises me.

[@chrisowens7873]

I've got two young girls who love beef but not spicy stuff. Is that rub mild? Been looking to get some better rubs as I learn more about smoking.

[@popoAL133]

What kind of pellets?

[@mikebowerstv]

Man they need to release this grill soon! Cannot wait!!

[@StokedOnSmoke]

Yeah man!! You’re gonna love it!!!

[@Tonyr0206]

I've started to see on YT, people wrapping the butt in foil, then a towel and putting it in a cooler for a few hours after the cook has finished. What does this do??

[@freightdawg6762]

Looked Awesome

[@ManCaveMeals]

Looks good Steve!

[@StokedOnSmoke]

Thx John!!

[@jessehernandez52]

Just bought one,but realized a lot of people have a lot of cons about it... do you always put the aluminum pan to catch the Grease? I seen some reviews where the thing started a fire when on riot trying to sear the steak. Have you had this problem?

[@StokedOnSmoke]

I’ve never had a fire...but I make sure to either put a catch pan down if it’s going to a greasy cook (like a pork butt or something)...or just keep the grill on for 10-15 min after a greasy cook and it will burn it all off.

[@briankoebele2549]

Looks amazing

[@StokedOnSmoke]

Thanks Brian!

[@rayfletcher7436]

Did you have to refill the hopper at any time during the 12 hrs? How long will it cook per full hopper at 225?

[@StokedOnSmoke]

Only a quarter of the hopper was used up...so that should give you a good idea.

[@rayfletcher7436]

StokedOnSmoke that’s actually amazing. I used to have a green mountain and it would take a whole hooper in less than 8hrs. This helps my purchase decision. Thanks

[@Railroad_Bbq]

Never tried the Cherry rub, but the Spicy Apple and Sweet Seduction rubs from Simply Marvelous are amazing on chicken and pork.

[@StokedOnSmoke]

That’s funny...the apple and sweet seduction are my other two favs. The pecan is 🔥🔥🔥 too if you’ve never had it.

[@Railroad_Bbq]

@@StokedOnSmoke Never tried the pecan, but The Holy Trinity is very good

[@jeffsmith350]

Thank you

[@carpeinferi]

What's the lowest temp it can hold? I'm used to smoking in the 160-180 range.

[@StokedOnSmoke]

Hey man sorry I’m just replying. So when you’re at 225 and hit the down arrow on the temp it changes the heads up display to say “low”. I haven’t had a chance to put a 3rd party probe on it to get a temp read. I’ll try and do that soon.

[@StokedOnSmoke]

Ok so I just hooked up my ThermoWorks Signals pit probe and put it on “low” mode but it hung out in the 205 - 210 range. Of course it’s in the upper 80’s and muggy here in Florida...so I think lower ambient temps will get you under 200 for sure. Prob not 170 - 180 tho... but could be wrong.

[@carpeinferi]

@@StokedOnSmoke Thanks for the info.

[@suresure267]

What about doing some salmon? I've made it once so far and loved it, curious to see one of your cooks

[@StokedOnSmoke]

Here’s a an old video of mine... but I’ll try and do some on the new Bullseye sometime soon: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJrRdq1pq5x_nrM

[@chrisbrennan2208]

Will a Packard brisket fit on it.

[@StokedOnSmoke]

It’s 22” in diameter...so a medium’ish one will. I plan to do a brisket video on it in the coming weeks.

[@mikesr3011]

I'm just lovin that updated Bullseye. I did watch your unboxing video as well. I do not own a pellet smoker and Rec Tec is up there on my list. I have a 18" WSM and a Weber 22" kettle. Can hardly wait for this one to come out and see how much it will be selling for. Looking forward to more of your Bullseye cooks! By the way, is there anything else you n use as binder besides mustard? Thanks.

[@StokedOnSmoke]

Sometimes I just use a little olive oil (usually for ribs) or sometimes nothing at all. I like mustard on butts and briskets bc I want it caked on there for a really good bark.

[@Shovelups]

Selling for $399 for a short while. I’m used to grilling on a Weber kettle too. Friend has a Bull (it’s a beast!). Bullseye looks intriguing. Wondering how well built it is tho?

[@robertstraub6526]

wow, can't decide between the Bullseye or the RT-340

[@MizzCupcake244]

same. the 340 is more easily portable though.

[@Carnivorefitness2024]

I can't wait for this one to come back, love the versatility of it, how hot does it go?

[@StokedOnSmoke]

I had about 700-750 at the heat deflector level in my unboxing video of it. My best guess is around 650 - 700 at the cooking grate level depending on ambient temps and sea level.

Yeah should be.
