Rectec mini as only cooker
Fully understood. I decided that the mini was too small at $675 ish shipped with a cover and a bag a pellets (keeping it apples to apples) The big rec Tec is too much. Even once I added grill grates, and the down draft I am only into the Daniel Boone $579 for the grill, downdraft hood, bag...- vartz04

Rectec mini as only cooker
Not sure if that means you think I made a bad choice? I did ribs on it on Tuesday and I was slightly disappointed with the smoke flavor Did some chicken breasts for tacos Thursday and they were great. Grill grates left decent marks. Did a pork shoulder for a party Saturday and used the tube...- vartz04

Rectec mini as only cooker
I was thinking the same thing. Just need to find someone to buy my offset to help fund the purchase, once that is gone, ill order the rectec and put my weber and little gas grill on craigslist. As much as I would like to have the weber, the rectec, and the offset. I have too many other toys...- vartz04

Rectec mini as only cooker
So since moving I really don't have the space for the weber OTG the little gasser and my home made offset on the deck. I am considering the mini as my grill and smoker. The size of the cooking area is no issue. My concern is cooking "hot n fast" steaks and such. Any opinions- vartz04

Finally doing a brisket tomorrow. And I'm jumping in the deep end
Here's the finished product Pretty darn good for my first try and the temp control issues I was having. Really loves the burnt ends sandwich. I used maple, Apple, and plum wood. Didn't have a ton of smokeyness but still good. Defiantly can tell the difference in sweetness throwing some... -

Tastes good so far. Bark is awesome. Just waiting on the burnt ends. -

Pulled it off at 199. Popped off the point and chopped it up for burnt ends. Those are back on the smoker now. Flat is resting. Pics to come soon. -

Amen. No rush just kinda shocked. Either way it's at 175 now so should be done at about the 12 hour mark. Now I just have to find a new wood supply cause I am about fresh out -
Finally doing a brisket tomorrow. And I'm jumping in the deep end
I was giving it a spin so the same side wasn't near the firebox the whole time. I usually do that about 4 times with a pork shoulder. My cook chamber is too narrow to just set it on the other side. The temp differential is only like 10-12 degrees but just something I do. -

This is taking way longer than expected. Still in the stall. At least I'm not planning on serving it today. That said I have had a hell of a time keeping my temps up today. Last smoke was the first one in this smoker and I had zero issue. Most likely that's because there was a $10 pork...
