    Awesome. That's what I was looking for! I figured this had been discussed...I guess I need to work on my search skill.  Thanks SeenRed!

    Brand of Pellets

    Hi Folks,  I've done some searching on the site to see if there was a discussion about the different brands of pellets out there. Maybe my search skills aren't that great, but I wasn't able to find a dedicated thread on this topic.  I've talked to some folks that swear by certain brands of...

    Hey Steven...welcome to SMF! There is tons of collective knowledge on the forum and great people willing to help and share their experiences. I started on a Brinkman as well and was able to produce good Q...it just takes a little more work. A few things to keep in mind about the brinkman (my...

    Joining the pellet world with a Rec Tec Grill

    Looks great!! Congrats on the REC TEC. As far as tips and tricks....make sure you have pellets, set your temp...add meat. OK, those aren't really tips, but there isn't much to it...they just work. The only real advice I would have is to start scanning the grocery store ads for meat sales because...

    Yoder YS 480, Mak 1 Star, Rec Tec or CookShack PG 500 or Memphis Select? Please help! Thanks!!

    +1 on the REC TEC for the price. If you like your meat really smoky, then it helps to have a tube smoker to throw in there, but I only use one on larger cuts of meat.  Brian

    REC TEC pellet smoker, are they that good?

    I have a REC REC and love it! I too looked at a lot of other models that were very impressive such as the Yoder. At the time, some of the other models were a bit out of my price range so I went with the REC TEC and am very pleased. The controller is very nice and holds temps steady, it has lots...

    REC TEC has a new front shelf

    That's awesome! 100 pounds would be more than it would ever see. I wouldn't expect anything less from REC TEC. The magic 8 ball says a purchase is in my near future!  Brian

    REC TEC has a new front shelf

    That's good to know. I find myself wanting more shelf space on the REC TEC for staging the food before going on the smoker. I would hope it would at least hold 3 or 4 Butts or 2 Briskets. Hmm...now i want one!  Thanks for the input.  Brian

    REC TEC has a new front shelf

    How sturdy is the Traeger shelf? Could it stand up to quite a bit of weight (30-40lbs)? I don't want to have my meat staging there and the shelf decide to give out. Just wondering... I guess the same question could be asked about the REC TEC Shelf if anyone has experience with it yet.  Thanks...

    REC TEC Pork Butts

    Had a pork party on the REC TEC this past weekend. 6 butts smoked for 14 hours at 225. Pulled at an internal temp of 200 and rested for 2 hours then pulled to perfection. Sorry, no pics of the pulled pork....I had a lot of hungry guest at the party (and no left overs)
