    Does RT Ever Put the 700 on Sale or Can I Buy Returned Items?

    If you get a used unit, make sure it is a really good deal. Their site specifically says that the warranty is Non-Transferable. I only say that since a warranty was a huge factor in my purchase decision for my RT-700.

    Just...cant....stop

    Well it finished after about 10 hours. I had to turn it up to a out 270 to finish it for dinner today. Not all that thrilled with the result, but was still "okay" to me. Next time I may try a spritz or a water pan. Never actually used those methods before but always willing to try something new...

    RT 590 or RT700

    I had this same dilemma just a mere couple weeks ago. I went with the rt700 and so happy I did. I would recommend the bigger one 'just in case'

    I just cant stop turning this thing on. So far this rt700 has been turning out delicious food. First run was a couple tri tips. Did some pork ribs yesterday and tossed on a 7.9 lb butt this am for dinner.

    Shopping again

    Can't say anything about the Yoder, working on my second cook with my new RT700 and I am sold so far. Had to contact customer service and was blown away by their commitment to the customer after the sale too. today I threw on some ribs and bought some whole chickens and small pork butt to do...

    New RT700, First Cook

    Well the new rig came in. I have to admit, I was so worried it was going to be gigantic but it's a perfect size. Got it all assembled last night, did the burn in then headed to local grocery store for something to put in it. Wasnt much available so just grabbed a couple Santa Maria Style Tri...

    Advice on a cold/warm smoker build.

    I have not built one myself; however, there is a whole sub-forum on smoke house builds. I am sure you could find a ton of information in there on tips and tricks to get your going. Home > Smoker Builds > Smoke Houses

    Ruined Butt???

    Generally speaking the 40-140 rule means you want to get under 40* or over 140* within 4 hours. That temperature range is where the most bacteria can grow at a rapid rate. Based on what you have said on this I would probably follow the "when it doubt, throw it out" rule on this. I know it sucks...

    Pellet Grill or Pellet Vertical Smoker?

    I just recently went through this dilemma myself. Over the years I have had up to 5 grills/smokers all with different purposes and such, but have since moved to a house with a much smaller lot and trying to simplify things. Through my research I ended up on the Rec Tec line of pellet grills and...

    Pork Burgers

    @Ishi , I guess you could call it lazy, but I like using a simple taco seasoning mix for something like this.

    First cook on the Rec Tec RT700

    Wow, looking great. That internal light also seems brighter than I thought it would be. Wonder how bad it will dim over time.

    Going back and forth between Rec Tec 700 and Traeger Century 885

    I didn't really want to, but I went all in on the 700 when I was in this same questioning phase. I figured do it once and be done with it.

    Going back and forth between Rec Tec 700 and Traeger Century 885

    I literally hit 'purchase' on a RT 700 this morning (maybe 3 hours ago). I scoured the web for about a month and the only things I really found that were "bad" about it was a couple people not getting it hot enough. They were using just flavor wood though and from what I read you needs a blend...

    Rec Tec 590 Owners...Question to You

    Well @sandyut , your response timing was impeccable. I literally just hit submit on a grill, cover, pellets, and mesh mats and came here to say I bought one. Went all in on the RT-700 as well. I am stuck somewhere between giddy and holy s* I just spent how much on all this? I am sure I will be...
