    Can't decide on new smoker! Halp!!

    All of that may be true... however like you, I also decided to trust the Rec-Tec RT-700 and you know what? I've never looked back! This thing is a monster and handles more than you could ever throw at it. It's super consistent, the app is decent and well, the food is amazing. I've not had any...

    New Pellet Grill

    I'm also biased as I bought a RT-700 also last November I think. I've used that thing at least twice a week since I got it and man is that thing reliable and bulletproof. Like everyone else has said, their customer service is second to none! It's not just a saying, if you call them it's like...

    Need to Smoke and Find Peace

    Oh man, so sorry to hear all that @sandyut . I tell my wife the same thing, you know that I just got my Bull a few weeks ago and the wife keeps wanting to make other shit instead of letting me smoke some damn food! Sorry for your loss and everything else man, keep your head up, grab that...

    New Pellet Grill

    Although the Rec Tec is an amazing unit it's not what ultimately sold me on their brand. It was actually the customer service that changed the perspective for me. I bought the RT-700 instead of the 590 and I couldn't be happier. It's for sure got more real estate than I need, but who ever...

    New Pellet Grill

    I agree with the comments here, although, I can't comment on either of the grills mentioned. I can only comment on the Rec Tec as that's what I ultimately went with. It's expensive for sure, but when you put that sucker together you can FEEL it's quality. Then when it's all said and done, put a...

    Can't decide on new smoker! Halp!!

    Definitely good advice, with such a busy schedule I think I'm going to put a pork butt on in the wee hours of the morning on saturday before my son's soccer tournament so that I can use this beast! I can't go too many days without at least trying it!

    Can't decide on new smoker! Halp!!

    I have a feeling it’s gonna be difficult to keep clean but we’ll do our best. I’m trying to figure out what to cook on it first! Need something fatty, hmm

    Can't decide on new smoker! Halp!!

    Oh I definitely stalked my shipment because they wouldn’t be able to deliver to my door because of my driveway. When they called I setup a day and time to go pick it up from the facility and drove it home! Worked out great for me, a day early haha.

    Can't decide on new smoker! Halp!!

    it’s here and all put together! the wait for its arrival is now over and the wait to be able to smoke something on it is here! it was fairly easy to assemble and went together well. You can just feel the quality with every part that you touch! Burn in is complete and she’s ready for the first...

    Can't decide on new smoker! Halp!!

    The tease continues, there's finally a tracking number posted in my purchase history but it doesn't say which freight company picked it up so I can't even track it haha. At least I know the smoker is on it's way!

    Reintroduced? Do you know something some of us may not? heh

    Can't decide on new smoker! Halp!!

    I don't think it'll be showstopping for them. Will it be perfect? Probably not, was there issues? Who knows maybe. There's nothing concrete that shows that they did or didn't have issues to be honest, just hearsay. All that said, Rec-Tec still has real world experience and as much as I wanted...

    Decisions, Decisions....Which Pellet Grill To Buy ??

    I'm with Sandyut here and not just because my wife just ordered me a RT-700, but simply because the proof is out there. Trust me, I wrestled with the idea of buying the Weber soooooo much, but ultimately, there's just no data out there that suggests that it's better, or even on par with the...

    Can't decide on new smoker! Halp!!

    Great points and I wonder how true it is about them having problems. I can honestly see it happening as it's not an easy task to enter this world and be competitive. I talked to the Rec-Tec folks to finish up the order that my wife made and holy crap man, they are seriously the friendliest...

    *Update* Wife bought me the package today with the RT-700, Shelf and pellets! It should ship next week sometime and I'll have to update this again once it's all here and put together. I think it goes without saying that I'm excited and can't wait to get the first cook underway!
