    Pellet Smoker for a Newbie

    I just got a rec tec mini a week and a half ago. Used it last weekend to do a quick reverse sear steaks. The unit is nicely made seems pretty solid. The temp was fairly steady in my 1 use so far. Planning to do a pork butt next. Just too busy at the moment for a long cook.

    Thanks sauced yea i found several reviews here on them and alot of good reviews on other sites. They are backordered till mid june even and made in the USA. Just mot sure if i should spend that much more on it vs getting an mes40. Or if theres anything else in that price range i should look at.

    Likely ordering the mes 40. Only thing im considering still is the grilla grill silverbac. More money but not sure if im gunna regret not getting the pellet grill which seems you can do more with. Anything else i should be looking at in that price range of up to $700. Or any input on the grilla...
