    What brands should I stay away from? What should I consider?

    Well My first smoker was a gift from my wife for our anniversary 5 years ago. A 40" MES. All she knew was I wanted a smoke but never once did I say which one I wanted. She got me that because it was elec and held temps easily and it had Blu-tooth and she know im A TECHIE JUNKIE. The woman...

    What brands should I stay away from? What should I consider?

    I respect your opinion and your right...some people can be anal and I know I am one of them. My thought is if they make a unit that eliminates one variable (temp) then why not? Lets face it...there are a lot of variables that go into great food coming off of a smoker. I never mastered the...

    What brands should I stay away from? What should I consider?

    In my humble opinion...if you buy a pellet grill without the PID your wasting time and money. Find someone who has one and try it and you will never go back to anything else! As my good buddy Ron used to say....it a true "SET IT & FORGET IT" And Rec Tec is the best they come!

    I have been in contact with a guy that has one and where he lives the ambient temp is 72 deg. He smoked 2 lbs of cheese on the low setting for 2.5 hours with no problem. I am working on a mod that should lower the internal temps down quite a bit but Im in Ft lauderdale. My ambient temp right...

    New Rec Tec Bull first cook!

    That is a cold smoke box. It has 3 shelves inside. Can use it for cheese and fish and such. I plan on using it for salami and beef sticks and cheese. Also can use it as a hot box to keep things warm if they finish early. This thing is just fantastic!

    What brands should I stay away from? What should I consider?

    Compare warranties, customer service and problems. The Traeger are loaded with problems and from the ones I have personally seen they are not built to the same quality as the Rec Tec. I researched which grill I wanted for six months....yes SIX MONTHS befor I finally decided on the Rec Tec and...
