I have had a Traeger and now have a RecTeq and wouldn't go back. Everything you've mentioned would be fine. In the end I think these days pellet grills are fairly equivalent. It'll just depend on how you use it.
If you need a nice app to monitor things....keep an eye on that. RecTeq has great...
So…I heard the talk and since I do 3-4 tri tips a month I thought I’d try.
No joke, it’s some of the best beef I’ve ever done!
It took longer than I expected (about 6-7 hours) and it’s hard to justify sometimes with such small cuts…which is why I did two together…but this was amazing. I...
I run a couple of KJ units and love them. Just a couple things to remember.
These are ovens, not smokers. If you really want good smoke flavor the kamado isn't really the way to go.
They are extremely efficient with charcoal. So more expensive up front, but you end up getting every bit of...

If crispy skin is a...
Exactly. I get the same. So I typically don't run a full hopper, especially when I'm getting close to the end of a cook.
Would you say flavor is the same on your assassin as in your offset? Just easier to run the GF?

I think the best way for smoke flavor from a GF smoker (which flavor can be amazing...
I have a 1050, a KJ classic and KJ jr. I freakin love the kamado. As far as efficiency goes, it really can't be beat. Use minimal charcoal, it retains heat like nothing else.
Smoke flavor will not be close to your gravity fed smoker. Or even your pellet grill for that matter. I use the kamados...
