Woo hoo, I finally made a soup to nuts brisket video with all the knowledge I've gained over the past 6 years of smoking Texas-style briskets! Check it out and share, "Snow Day Brisket!" (30.5 min long)

#RecTeq
Anyone that happens to have a #Recteq X-fire Pro pellet grill and has been disappointed with the relatively lackluster level of smoke flavor in smoke mode, I've discovered a simple fix. Toss a chunk of apple wood (or your wood of choice) right on top of the flame guard on the smoke side. No need to soak or pre-light or anything. It will smolder during each smoke, lasting a long time while adding a lot of smoke flavor.
Pork Butt after five hours on the smoke at 225°, ready for the wrap! #recteq #bbq #backyardBBQ ##CookWithWes
(2/3) little more cooking—finishing things up in the oven—I ended up with some incredibly savory pulled pork.
The best part? I turned that pulled pork into some killer quesadillas! In the video, I talk about how this savory twist compares to my usual sweet BBQ style and give my honest take on how it turned out. Spoiler: it was pretty tasty! If you’re into barbecue experiments or just looking for a new flavor combo to try, come check it out!
Last night’s cauliflower crust pizza cooked on the Green Mountain Grill pizza insert / pizza stone on my #RecTeq smoker. Just a Costco supreme with extra pepperonis. Delicious!
I smoked some chicken wings today on my #Recteq. We have dry rubbed with a homemade #BBQ mix my 8 yo made for Father's Day. We have some traditional #Buffalo and then a few with a jalapeño apple BBQ sauce. And then lastly, a few plain ones for my youngest.
Add on a side of grilled corn and #CrackerBarrel style cooked carrots and we are eating good for lunch today!
Took charge and made my own #FathersDay dinner. My youngest didn't enjoy it, but I did!
The steak was a Tri-Tip that I reverse seared on the #Recteq. I dry rubbed it with a mix of salt, pepper, garlic powder and #Starbucks ground medium roast coffee. The baby potatoes were air fried with olive oil and garlic and then topped with Italian blend cheese. I also served pan roasted green beans. It was all pretty tasty!
(2/2) 200° at the conclusion of the cook. I let them rest 15 minutes and then enjoyed.
Turned out delicious! #bbq #bbqribs #porkribs #babyback #bbqlife #RecTeq #recteqlifestyle #backyardbbq
(3/3) course! I made this reel video on TikTok, and also shared to Instagram:

It may be 22° outside, but it’s been a constant 225° of brisket smoking ambient perfection in my RecTeq RT-700 Bull since 11:20 PM last night. Expecting these 12 pound briskets from Costco to take about 11 hours to reach 205° internal.

Pizzas on the #SmokerGrill for dinner. Love how quick this thing heats up. Pizzas turned out great and cooked fast.
Yes that’s pineapple; no ragerts 😆
I created a 20 minute tutorial video (with help from Shelly) on my favorite way to cook SWEET PULLED PORK!

Updated with final product. It was amazing! Just a tiny bit of heat from the peppers and the bark was perfectly done on the outside. No way I wouldn't make this again.
A friend is coming over to play #BoardGames all day so taking this chance to smoke some meat on the #RecTeq #grill
Got this recipe from their website. Its called "Mississippi Pot Roast." Chuck roast is going to go on the smoker for 2 hours, after being liberally rubbed, and while that smokes, this concoction of pepperoncini peppers and beef stock is going to heat on the grill. 2 hours, I'll put the beef in the simmering liquids for another 2 hours. Update to come!
On weekdays, Shelly gets up at 4 AM to get ready for school. Today (Saturday morning) Moose decided to wake me up at 5 AM because it was time to go outside. I checked the pork butt on the smoker, and it was at about 155° internal temperature, so that’s close enough to the stall to wrap.

I cooked a New Year’s Eve brisket overnight for 12 1/2 hours, just put on some burnt ends. Looking forward to a feast in a couple hours. :-) & I’ll be publishing a video about this cook soon. #CookWithWes #BBQ #BackyardBBQ #BBQlife #RecTeq #RecTeqLifestyle
Grilled chicken tonight with roasted brussels sprouts and a garden salad. I brushed w/ olive oil & sprinkled with “sweet heat” BBQ rub. 2 tablespoons of olive oil on the cut Brussels, with some Traeger rub. Cooked the chicken 45 minutes, the Brussels 30 minutes at 400° on the RecTeq smoker.
Shelly made the salad, which was amazing. Trying to get back to our low carb, “lean and green” meals together, as our holidays draw to a close. #foodie #bbq #backyardBBQ #BBQlife #recteq #RecTeqLifestyle
How am I spending Christmas Day? Why, I'm reading about brisket, and dreaming of the tasty meats I'll have tomorrow after an easy overnight cook! #RecTeq #Smoking #Brisket #ChristmasMeat
