The doohickey saved the day! We were running into the open neutral issue while having our surge protector plugged into our generator and this totally fixed the problem. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge!
Very cool video on BBQ the one guy on the end of the video was from South Georgia and I was stationed at Ft Gordon in Augusta Georgia and met a family at a church I went to and they were out standing. They took me in as a serviceman and let me stay with them on Sunday's and made sure I was back on post Monday morning. Friendly hospitable just down home folks. It was great. Good Southern cooking!! Well, till next time. And as always, "Enjoy The Adventure." Stay safe 😀👍✌
Curse my habit of saving up a whole slew of videos to watch! You weren't but 20 minutes from me and the funniest part you actually videoed one of my best friends unknowingly, haha! Glad you had a great time here, we definitely love our food, especially some good BBQ! Man, I guess I know what I'm going to have for dinner tonight, thanks and keep up the great videos!
I've owned a Recteq prior to their current spelling. They had to change their name from Rectec to Recteq. I also competed at the American Royal Invitational and the Open, having won awards in the Invitational on a couple of occasions, long before Rec Tec existed. What a great company and product! Listening to you talk about learning the BBQ process was very enjoyable for me. I'm glad you had a great experience.
A great episode when you can learn how to cook brisket and fashion a new doohickey for the trailer. KYD always brings the content plus you hang out with the nicest folks on the planet!
Hope y’all enjoyed my little slice of Georgia! Raised in Augusta, and we camp at Strom Thurmond Lake, aka Clark Hill, regularly. We were just there in March. Thanks for all the tips in this episode-it was really helpful!
on the generator there is a ground post if you drive a stake in the ground run a wire from the ground post on the generator to the stake the generator will be grounded also pour some water around the stake
DO NOT do this when using a generator for an RV or other off-grid situation. It is dangerous. The point of a grounding conductor (meaning the wire labeled "ground") is to offer an alternative path for the electricity back to the source in the event of a short, or if the neutral gets severed. Example: if the hot wire's sheathing gets worn through and the wire touches the metal of your water heater, you want that metal to be connected as directly as possible to the source of power so that A) the power now coursing through the water heater metal and any other metal connected to it travels through that grounding wire instead of through some alternate path, like through you when you touch it, and B) circuit breakers and other devices that sense ground faults can detect current traveling through the grounding conductor and turn off the power. If instead of bonding the ground and neutral at the source, you put a grounding stake into the earth, now the only alternate path the electricity can take if something goes wrong is through the earth, from your RV to that grounding stake. But how will it get from your RV, which is on Rubber tires and plastic levelling blocks, into the ground? MAYBE it will travel along your water hose, or some dangling chain or something. But it might also, if you present a convenient shortcut by standing on the ground and touching a piece of metal that has been energized, go through you instead. And to make matters worse, if there isn't a strong connection from the RV to the earth to provide that path, circuit breakers won't trip, surge protectors won't shut off, and the water heater and anything connected to it will stay "hot" indefinitely, until someone unlucky stands in the right place and touches the right thing to complete the circuit. I know that grounding is confusing and somebody a long time ago messed up by calling it "grounding" in the first place, but please please please do not use a grounding stake with your generator if you're off-grid, and even if you don't have an integrated surge protector or similar device, ALWAYS make sure the ground and neutral are bonded at or inside the generator when off-grid. Short version: when off-grid, grounding conductors (and all metal parts of your rig and appliances) should be directly connected to the source of power (generator, inverter, etc.) by a grounding conductor, which is bonded to the neutral inside or right next to that power source.
Oh brother! I so feel for you Brad. Blew the engine on my 68 Firebird on the way home from purchase, and went through years of the emotional rollercoaster. Ended up rrebuilding basically everything bumper to bumper on that car. It eventually was a beauty and ran great, but as you know it is endless highs and lows owning a classic car! Looking forward to the next coffee one talk garage talk!
Marc just want to make sure everyone knows that when you make the generator “doo-hickey” to fix the open neutral issue, upon opening up the male plug (5-15P) all you have to do is place a wire between the silver screw (Neutral) and the green screw (ground) There was a mention on the show about the hot screw (gold) and that DOES NOT get touched at all. Just tighten it but no wire gets attached to it. Hope this helps.
Just got my rig back from getting updates over the winter including a hardwired surge-guard. Without the video I would have been pulling out my non-existent hair trying to figure out how to fix my problem. Your content is always helpful. Thank you.
I don’t RV and I don’t BBQ. And I LOVED this episode 💙 Thats the great thing about your channel, even though I don’t do those things I can still enjoy the family, the humor and the love for our beautiful country 🇺🇸 We travel on a motorcycle but my husband is in Spain right now hiking across Spain (500 miles) on the Camino de Santiago trail with his childhood/army/best friend. Thank you again for a fun and uplifting video
What an amazing video! I'm a KCBS Certified BBQ Judge, since 2007, and just couldn't get it together to join y'all at this RECTEQ event, but will definitely watch for future events! Fun! Fun! Fun! The team I "help" with are "The 49ers" but seriously the others are the real chefs.
“…all this other BS in the world doesn’t matter.” Truer words were never spoken and I wish everyone could hear that gentleman speak. Very cool vid, really digging the BBQ Academy! Be safe.
I had to chuckle when you were talking about the trailer plug. Trish worked so hard to keep her mind out of the gutter but her smile gave it away. Lol When you come back through the St.Louis area contact me and I'll let you drive my Volvo HDT with the jeep on the back pulling the 5er.
An Open (or floating) Neutral could make the GFCI ineffective, so you wouldn’t want a bypass as it is a safety feature. All separately derived systems (generators, inverters, etc) shall have a neutral ground bond per NEC. The Victron MultiPlus does the Neutral Ground Bond automagically when inverting.
@@seleblanc1986 "Automagically" has been a term around various engineering circles for many years, for circumstances pretty much exactly like this one. It's one of my favorites too. Basically, when something "automatically" happens but in a super useful way that makes your life easier, usually with a hint of unexpectedness or even ignorance to it happening at all. We use it in software all the time for things that should "just work" that users shouldn't need to worry about.
@@JohnFX3 As a failed engineer, who took up flying commercially instead, I heard "Automagically" once and it stuck. You can always spot a propeller-head when they use that term!
While what you are saying is probably true, I think the issue was with Marc's Surge Protector. The generator flowing to the surge protector was causing the error in the surge protector so no power could flow from the generator to the surge protector to to the inverter.
Sweet. Hook it up to your phone. So easy and I actually use it. I can even control the grill away from the house, which I have no idea how that works! Pretty nice to know the grill is off when we're away. Enjoy.
Looks like you were in my old stomping grounds in Augusta, the ReqTec crew sure are good people! Also looked like my old buddy Will McRanie’s band playing the party, good times! Enjoy the videos every week, keep it up!
I believe it was the episode that Trish was attempting to cook flatbread on the Blackstone, that she commented on it not getting hot enough or even enough heating for flatbread or steaks. We use the Blackstone for most veggies & griddle/grill items & now take along the Ninja Foodie 6 air fryer & have never been disappointed cooking meats or items that need high temps. Granted it takes up room but on extended trips its great. Enjoy!
Just a general comment. We’ve had our 2020 27 Globetrotter Airstream about a year and a half now. Thanks to both of you and your family for putting out these awesome videos! Your format of educational and real world experience is unmatched! I have learned so much from you all and it’s helped so much when out in our Airstream. We just finished our first big road trip…..Long Island, New Orleans, Dallas, and back home to Long Island. Watching your videos over the last year or so really increased my confidence and got us over some hurdles for sure! Thanks again and stay safe. John & Joanne
"Sugar Booger"..🤣😂 that just cracks me up!! as for floating or open neutral I havent had any issues with that, but, I do know that my 2010 Tiffin Phaeton will not connect to a 20 amp service if the shore power has a GFI breaker or outlet. Instantly pops the breaker on the shore power.. the onboard power gismo doesnt play nice with those devices.
Am just wondering why did you go with a generator? Having watched you guys for such a long time I know you have extremely high end solar and battery bank system. Are you finding your system isn't able to keep up? I have been saving up for a more extensive solar system to help with boondocking and would love to know more about the limits you have found. Thank you and your channel got my family "out there" and we love camping with our camper!
Ooohhhhweeeeeeee BBQ!?! For Sunday funday with the KYD FAMILY!!!! I was just in Austin, TX and am missing amazing BBQ right now. That BBQ looked amazing!!! Safe travels my favorite RV family.
I have a Champion 4500 inverter generator and watchdog surge protector, same open ground issue. so, either take chances with just plugging into genny and no surge protection, or pony up $7 for a grounding rod and some wire. I only go about 2-3 feet down so I can pull it back out. or we can do the trick in this video and "fake out" the surge protector. Great video. love BBQ, smoking meats, and learning RV tricks of the trade.
Loving the Harvest Host membership. If you ever are traveling South of St. Louis there is a beautiful HH in Farmington, Mo. called Twin Oaks winery. They can hold up to 10, 40+ ft. RVs. (Fresh H2O fill and electricity.) They host events on the weekends. Had a great night there on a Friday night. BBQ yum! 😋 Safe Travels!
Always amazes me how often you hit the nail on the head without even knowing it. Just now heading out for the first trip ever with our GD tt for a long weekend of dry camping. It's new to us and we are bringing the generator to top off batteries each day and watched this video with the "dongle". We had hardwired the Southwire 50 amp surgeguard in and wasn't aware of this hiccup. Hooray! No time to make our own, so Amazon gets the nod. Todd at NRVTA has just posted a video on this too. You guys are on it!
So I just found your channel a few weeks back. Love it by the way but I almost lost it when I saw “ sugar booger” on your contact for Trish as we have used that nickname in our family for years!!!!
I bought the portable RecTeq 340 it is my first smoker and love it. I have not only cooked meat but bread, cheesy potatoes, bake French toast, frozen pizzas, and lasagna. All have ben great, it folds up a bit and is still bulky but worth it.
What's not to love about BBQ? - Trish - I hope you include some of what you learned in your "next" cookbook - I LOVE the first one! I did buy the Firman 3100 - great unit, but a little heavy for me @ 97 lbs, but I can just manage it. - I also needed the "dohickey" 😎 - Cheers!
Absolutely loved this video. It brought back why we subscribed in the first place. You guys have a way of getting things across that inspires and excites. Thanks.
Progressive Industries makes built in surge protectors that you can get the bypass switch for such as the HW30C or EMSPT30C (30 Amp) or EMSLCHW50 (50 Amp). Best of all they have a lifetime warranty.
I wish I would have known earlier about your trip to Evans, Georgia and Recteq. I live in Evans and would have loved to meet you. I also love my Recteq grill and use it all the time!!!!!!
Put a zip tie under your plug on the bottom of the male end it helps to prop up the plug and reduces the strain on it because the weight of the cord is always pulling down on the plug It's an old trick us truckers use works every time
As a perfectly normal man who at one point had two different grills and three different smokers but is now down to two smokers and one grill I found this episode interesting. RecTec has a real good name in the community, thanks for the deeper dive.
@@michelewalters9421 Competition brisket generally is rubbed with salt and pepper. Equal amounts by weight, sea salt/kosher salt and butcher's grind black pepper. Backyard/Harry Homeowner brisket can be whatever you want. I do the S&P and add in cumin, garlic, onion powder, finely ground Mexican oregano and I stay away from sweet on a brisket, its supposed to be beef to the max, not candied.
I had a hardwired Progressive EMS in my last RV, it would do the same thing - it wouldn't allow power in from a portable generator. I used the little Progressive remote panel, which had a bypass switch on it. It solved the problem, but it was an ugly surface mounted display panel. Years ago I worked for a major inverter manufacturer, learning about "neutral to ground bonding". I still eat/sleep/breathe inverters. I have a Victron system in my current RV.
Ive cooked against Lonnie several times, GREAT guy. knows more about BBQ in his little finger than most do in their whole body!! Makes a heck of a cooker too!!
Yummy video!! The BBQ looked 👀 delicious!! I learned something new about Trish today……Sugar Booger 🤣😂🤣😂 love 💕 it. We really enjoy your weekly videos. Safe travels 😊❤️🇺🇸
Marc, a Mopeka LPG wireless tank monitor will help keep you from running out of propane. The only downside, if memory serves me correctly, is that a 30 gallon tank will show full until the level drops below 20 pounds. We monitor both propane tanks because I don't like running out of propane, and the love of my life does not like taking a cold shower. Happy wife, happy life!
Marc! Where was this video 4 years ago??!!! I had this same problem with my Jayco with Progressive Ind. surge protector. Looked online for remedy and finally found out about the “doodad.” Camping trip saved!
I also have one of those plugs in my toolbox. My generator is used to power the house during outages so I have my generator jumped to floating neutral which is what the house power wants and I plug the jumper into my generator on one of my 15 amp outlets. This also switches my 30 amp outlet for the RV.
Such a joy spending some time in your world. For health considerations we are eating less red meat these days. However, who doesn’t love BBQ? Great job of backing the trailer with an audience. Go For It
I've smoked a lot of meats. My favorite so far is a corned beef brisket. OMG. So good! I smoke until internal temp is about 150, then wrap it until internal temp is 200-210. I usually do two at a time. One for dinner, served hot. The second goes in the fridge then it gets sliced for lunchmeat... Most of the time I use no rub. It doesn't need it. If you really want something, just pepper.
At lest I did learn something when it comes to cooking Brisket. Yum Yum Yea I got to see Charlie and give him a big hug for me. Enjoyed and thanks. Love y'all
Interesting discussion on your problems charging. I guess I’m really out of date with surge protectors, grounds, etc. I mainly boondock and depend on a 2000 watt gen to keep the batteries charged. Never had a problem in 20 years. Perhaps it due to my simple old trailer.
@@KeepYourDaydream Our 1989 Fleetwood Flair class A has no surge protection as we use it exclusively off grid. Generator works fine with it for just that reason on a three battery bank system with solar assist.
Not sure if anyone else commented but I wanted to share that we’ve used Jerry Cans for years BUT be careful. The inside of the can may get debris, which you can introduce to your generator or other devices. We created a screen out of fine gauge hardware cloth to go over the end of our spout to catch any potential debris that may be introduced through the can.
We had the same issue with the trailer brakes. Ours turned out to be the ground connection to the trailer frame. Follow the wire on the negative terminal of your battery until it attaches to a screw on the frame. That screw gets a little corrosion on it and causes the brake connection problem you mentioned. I spent a lot of time fiddling with the 7 pin connection till someone suggested looking at the ground on the trailer. Problem solved!!
Darn , why did I have to watch this episode late Sunday evening . All that delicious food has made me hungry ……lol …great episode folks , love the gentleman’s comments just before the end about hospitality and the various types of foods for different occasions ☺️
Hi KYD, great video and tip on the open neutral plug fix. Was the Harvest Host you were at near the end of the video at Savannah, Ga.? Looks like the HH brewery we stayed at along I95 at Savannah, Ga on the way to Florida about the end of Oct. 2021. We also got a paper with the gate code so we could get out in the morning. Had a good time there (craft beers, with free food!!!). There were 5 other HH members there. We expect ot stay there again in 2 weeks heading north again. It had a strange name that started with a D.
Good food, good times! Dang it! Looks like you were able to sneak thru/around Jacksonville without me seeing you! And trust me I was looking for your Airstream! Saw a few, but, alas, not yours(how do I know? They were being pulled by either a Dodge or Chevy!LOL) Oh well, looks like a lot of great fun and great people and food! Safe travels!
*Bubba* at the end of video is a gem to listen to ..... The morsels of a BBQ Brisket sounds like a melting pot of goodness 😋. Ready for the tropics 🌴 of Florida, bring it on ✌️☮️ 😎
Sugar Booger is a cute nick name for you Honey Bunny. Looks like you got some great tips for Backyard BBQing. That is a place I would like to checkout. Thanks for sharing your adventure. I’ve been waiting all day for video to be uploaded. Thanks again.
This is the most excited my husband has been over a KYD episode! He’s in heaven! lol
Best part of the episode was Tricia’s face when Marc said “Most of the time playing with it helps” 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
What an awesome event! Smoking meat just seams a perfect companion to RV life. Another great video from KYD! INFORMATIVE AND ENTERTAINING
The doohickey saved the day! We were running into the open neutral issue while having our surge protector plugged into our generator and this totally fixed the problem. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge!
As a long time smoker of the meats, I really enjoyed this episode 🤙🏼

Absolutely loved this video. It brought back why we subscribed in the first place. You guys have a way of getting things across that inspires and excites. Thanks.
Fantastic video! Great info on BBQing. "Sugar Booger?" Who doesn't love the Sweet & Salty? 😀
For some mysterious reason I’m feeling the urge to eat BBQ, smoked ribs, potato salad and corn bread lol.
Y’all rock!
Happy Sunday Fam!
Who knew brisket should be aerodynamic ? Love that fellas accent, like sweet tea on a hot day.
Crazy. And in the past, we were not removing enough of the fat.
Progressive Industries makes built in surge protectors that you can get the bypass switch for such as the HW30C or EMSPT30C (30 Amp) or EMSLCHW50 (50 Amp). Best of all they have a lifetime warranty.
I wish I would have known earlier about your trip to Evans, Georgia and Recteq. I live in Evans and would have loved to meet you. I also love my Recteq grill and use it all the time!!!!!!
Loved this video. Might have to use that code for my Birthday. Love the closing comment. So true.
Put a zip tie under your plug on the bottom of the male end it helps to prop up the plug and reduces the strain on it because the weight of the cord is always pulling down on the plug It's an old trick us truckers use works every time
As a perfectly normal man who at one point had two different grills and three different smokers but is now down to two smokers and one grill I found this episode interesting. RecTec has a real good name in the community, thanks for the deeper dive.
I’ve had one for 4 years now. They are a great grill/smoker, but also a great company. You can’t go wrong with a Recteq.
Do you have a great all around brisket dry rub or recipe for me that you would like to share. Thank you
@@michelewalters9421 Competition brisket generally is rubbed with salt and pepper. Equal amounts by weight, sea salt/kosher salt and butcher's grind black pepper. Backyard/Harry Homeowner brisket can be whatever you want. I do the S&P and add in cumin, garlic, onion powder, finely ground Mexican oregano and I stay away from sweet on a brisket, its supposed to be beef to the max, not candied.
@@metaxaanabeer Thank you
Great video. Sincerely enjoyed it. Thank you. Blessings
Great video, I have a small catering business and a grill collection habit. My RT 700 is my workhorse and have convinced many to join the RT family
I loved this closing…. As a politically charged.. person myself, to share food with someone, and walk away friends, life lesson. I love it.
Agree!!
As a classically trained cook I wholeheartedly believe "food is love"!
Omg loved this episode!! Two of my most favorite things in one video…. RVing and BBQ!!❤️❤️
I had a hardwired Progressive EMS in my last RV, it would do the same thing - it wouldn't allow power in from a portable generator. I used the little Progressive remote panel, which had a bypass switch on it. It solved the problem, but it was an ugly surface mounted display panel.
Years ago I worked for a major inverter manufacturer, learning about "neutral to ground bonding". I still eat/sleep/breathe inverters. I have a Victron system in my current RV.
I was surprised to see Mr. Lonnie Smith. I just purchased my Bubba Grill from him back in January. He's a very nice and helpful man.
Ive cooked against Lonnie several times, GREAT guy. knows more about BBQ in his little finger than most do in their whole body!! Makes a heck of a cooker too!!
The Butt is one of our favorites!
Yummy video!! The BBQ looked 👀 delicious!! I learned something new about Trish today……Sugar Booger 🤣😂🤣😂 love 💕 it. We really enjoy your weekly videos. Safe travels 😊❤️🇺🇸
Georgia Boys represent!!!
Looks like this was a great event, thanks for sharing!!
Wow, what fun!! Calab missed all that wonderful food!!
Marc, a Mopeka LPG wireless tank monitor will help keep you from running out of propane. The only downside, if memory serves me correctly, is that a 30 gallon tank will show full until the level drops below 20 pounds. We monitor both propane tanks because I don't like running out of propane, and the love of my life does not like taking a cold shower. Happy wife, happy life!
Yes, I learned about this yesterday. Its in my Amazon cart.
Very nicely done thank you and I didn't know about Airstreaming meat ...thanks for the heads up
Marc! Where was this video 4 years ago??!!! I had this same problem with my Jayco with Progressive Ind. surge protector. Looked online for remedy and finally found out about the “doodad.” Camping trip saved!
Well, that was fun!
I also have one of those plugs in my toolbox. My generator is used to power the house during outages so I have my generator jumped to floating neutral which is what the house power wants and I plug the jumper into my generator on one of my 15 amp outlets. This also switches my 30 amp outlet for the RV.
The world could use a little more of the closing sentiment of this video. I may need to break out the smoker this weekend!
I absolutely love your videos!! Always top shelf!!
Such a joy spending some time in your world.
For health considerations we are eating less red meat these days.
However, who doesn’t love BBQ?
Great job of backing the trailer with an audience.
Go For It
Yes, we try to eat fish a lot, chicken often and red meat seldom. This weekend was tasty!
I've smoked a lot of meats. My favorite so far is a corned beef brisket. OMG. So good! I smoke until internal temp is about 150, then wrap it until internal temp is 200-210. I usually do two at a time. One for dinner, served hot. The second goes in the fridge then it gets sliced for lunchmeat... Most of the time I use no rub. It doesn't need it. If you really want something, just pepper.
At lest I did learn something when it comes to cooking Brisket. Yum Yum Yea I got to see Charlie and give him a big hug for me. Enjoyed and thanks. Love y'all
Interesting discussion on your problems charging. I guess I’m really out of date with surge protectors, grounds, etc. I mainly boondock and depend on a 2000 watt gen to keep the batteries charged. Never had a problem in 20 years. Perhaps it due to my simple old trailer.
No issue if the surge protector isn't built-in. I mentioned this because more and more new RVs do have built-in protection.
@@KeepYourDaydream Our 1989 Fleetwood Flair class A has no surge protection as we use it exclusively off grid. Generator works fine with it for just that reason on a three battery bank system with solar assist.
Looks like you guys had a fun time😎 That video was making me hungry 😁
Not sure if anyone else commented but I wanted to share that we’ve used Jerry Cans for years BUT be careful. The inside of the can may get debris, which you can introduce to your generator or other devices. We created a screen out of fine gauge hardware cloth to go over the end of our spout to catch any potential debris that may be introduced through the can.
We had the same issue with the trailer brakes. Ours turned out to be the ground connection to the trailer frame. Follow the wire on the negative terminal of your battery until it attaches to a screw on the frame. That screw gets a little corrosion on it and causes the brake connection problem you mentioned. I spent a lot of time fiddling with the 7 pin connection till someone suggested looking at the ground on the trailer. Problem solved!!
The Barbecue masters shirts reminded me of nascar shirts. They truly take this seriously. The race is on for the best flavor.
Darn , why did I have to watch this episode late Sunday evening . All that delicious food has made me hungry ……lol …great episode folks , love the gentleman’s comments just before the end about hospitality and the various types of foods for different occasions ☺️
Hi KYD, great video and tip on the open neutral plug fix. Was the Harvest Host you were at near the end of the video at Savannah, Ga.? Looks like the HH brewery we stayed at along I95 at Savannah, Ga on the way to Florida about the end of Oct. 2021. We also got a paper with the gate code so we could get out in the morning. Had a good time there (craft beers, with free food!!!). There were 5 other HH members there. We expect ot stay there again in 2 weeks heading north again. It had a strange name that started with a D.
I got so excited that Trish was going to give us some pointers at the end, but alas... still a great episode!
Good food, good times! Dang it! Looks like you were able to sneak thru/around Jacksonville without me seeing you! And trust me I was looking for your Airstream! Saw a few, but, alas, not yours(how do I know? They were being pulled by either a Dodge or Chevy!LOL) Oh well, looks like a lot of great fun and great people and food! Safe travels!
*Bubba* at the end of video is a gem to listen to ..... The morsels of a BBQ Brisket sounds like a melting pot of goodness 😋. Ready for the tropics 🌴 of Florida, bring it on ✌️☮️ 😎
Two of my fav things…KYD and Recteq!
I taught my children that cooking and baking is a science 🥰❤️
I live in Augusta! Sorry I missed yall! I would have brought our converted skoolie for yall to see!
Love this. Thanks for all what you guys do.
Sugar Booger is a cute nick name for you Honey Bunny. Looks like you got some great tips for Backyard BBQing. That is a place I would like to checkout. Thanks for sharing your adventure. I’ve been waiting all day for video to be uploaded. Thanks again.
