I thought I'd come by here and say hello and introduce myself again. Things got busy at work and I barely had time to swim, much less keep up with the forum. I retired at the end of April (after 37 years at the same place) and I've already spent more time in the pool this month than I did all...

Sorry, I didn't explain myself well. The argument was regarding his idea of floating it vs using weights. I love the idea of using this cover vs the heavy canvas cover that the previous owner used. I think he didn't realize what I was talking about because when I showed him a picture he asked...

I've searched and not finding anything, I'm coming to the experts for advice. We've not closed our pool in the past three years because we really only get below freezing weather about one or two weeks of the year and those days aren't contiguous. However, we fight leaves and debris every year...

About a month ago, we had a warming period just south of the Atlanta Airport and the water temps were around 71*. We swam for a day or two and then the rain came and it got cooler again. Two weeks ago it was hot outside and I jumped in the pool just to cool off. Water temp was 63*. It was...

Chris, this is the same manual I found earlier today. I've just had a chance to sit down and read through it. Earlier I just read what I needed to know to access the plumbing and electrics. This is definitely the right manual.

We've owned this house 2 1/2 years and haven't touched the hot tub that was here when we bought the house. That's probably because the pool required a lot of repair and we just assumed the hot tub would as well. We're tackling projects since we have to stay home right now, so I decided to see...

We have about 5 or 6 bucks about this size with similar racks and then equal number of does that come through our yard on a daily basis. They usually visit just after nightfall up until about 1:00 am. I'm not sure what had this big boy walking past my security camera in the middle of the day.

Tested the water: FC: 8 CC:0 pH: 7.5 TA: 70 CYA: 70 Salt: 3200 Water Temp: 72* Replaced cartridges in filter with brand new and cleaned old ones Treated weeds at fence line with vinegar solution Threw ducky thermometer in followed by the humans Perfect day to isolate from society

Pool temp at 71* today. We threw the robot in for 6 hours, my husband put new cartridges in the filter and cleaned the ones he took out. I sprayed weeds around the fence with a vinegar solution and we both enjoyed swimming today. This is the earliest we've been able to swim in the 3 years we've...

Ran a full set of tests yesterday. With all the rain we've had recently I think we've probably replaced 3/4 of the pool water with rainwater. I haven't worried about it much until this week when temperatures started rising. I was not surprised to find that the FC was 0; CYA was 20; PH was 6.8...

You shouldn't have to finish on the gas grill. I agree with Monty on the temp and definitely the smoke. You want to shoot for thin, blue smoke. What flavor pellets were you using? I never use Mesquite for anything, I occasionally will use hickory for beef. Most of the time I use pecan...

Maddie and YippieSkippie, where are the food pics from RecTec cooks? Every day I drop by looking for a post from you. Sre you loving the RecTec?

When you go to the RecTec function, ask around and find out if Jim and Jan Burg are there. Team name is Killer B's. Jim usually cooks at the RecTec functions. He's a KCBS cook. If you do find him tell him Julie Cook said hello. My husband and I are KCBS contest representatives and they cook...

I would recommend the RecTec Bullseye. Keep in mind that you have to have an electrical outlet for any pellet cooker.

Maddie, l will gladly welcome another chick in this group, although I have to admit no one has questioned my presence here. Maybe the guys didn't realize I was a chick. Anyway, I have a RecTec Bullseye. It looks very similar to a Weber grill. To answer your question, no, you cannot use charcoal...

It comes with two charcoal holders so that you can cook over indirect heat if you'd like. Both chambers have their own charcoal basket that lifts out of the smoker for emptying and filling of charcoal. There is also a removable divider between the two chambers to keep the heat in one side if...

This past weekend I bought a 270 GS which is a grill/smoker. I have a BGE, Blackstone flat top grill, RecTec Bullseye Pellett grill, a JenAire propane grill and a 270 Sumo. Of all of these, I believe I am going to use the 270 GS more often than not. As soon as I got the grill this past...
