    Good move. You won't regret it.

    Rec Tec RT-340 or RT-590?

    Thanks, both of you for the comps on the grills. Yes. The Stampede, because of it’s convenience, is the work horse.

    Rec Tec RT-340 or RT-590?

    It does. However sometimes I'm in the mood for more smoke than what the pellet grill gives on it's own, and sometimes not. I look at smoke like I look at any other seasoning. Sometimes I'm in the mood for charcoal and wood smoke profiles, sometimes not. The reason why you see the smoke tube...

    Rec Tec RT-340 or RT-590?

    No. But then I light it with a blow torch and let it burn for several minutes before placing it into the smoker. At least 2 inches of pellets have been burned down before I put it into the smoker. I’ll put it anywhere as long as smoldering pellets will not be close to the temp sensor.

    Rec Tec RT-340 or RT-590?

    Nope. You're describing pretty much how I use mine. Usually one or two racks of ribs at a time. Typically dinner for two. Or a snack for one. The advantage over the Trailblazer is that I can sometimes get most, or sometimes even all of the entire meal on the Stampede if I need to...

    Rec Tec RT-340 or RT-590?

    My vote is for the RT590 Stampede. It's big enough without being too big and small enough without being too small. We love ours and have recently added the competition cart and front shelf to it.

    Has anyone used the "Heavy D" Stick burner attachment?

    Puzzled here. Are you saying that the SDHD doesn't give as "consistent" of a smoke result as you would like? If it doesn't give as consistent of a smoke result as what you are looking for, well then what are your thoughts as to why this is the case.

    Just Added the New Rec Tec Competition Cart and Front shelf to My RT 590 Stampede

    Thanks. No, there is no "official" shelf storage to speak of in the Competition cart. However there are a couple of recessed areas where a smoke tube or two can be stored. Also, it is possible to place the lower shelf from the stock cart and rest it beneath the Competition cart. But it's not...

    pit boss start up over shoot

    For a pellet grill at the price point of the grill you’re testing and describing in your prior posts, there is no doubt in my mind that you’re asking/expecting too much.

    pit boss start up over shoot

    Your Pitboss does not have a PID controller. Out of curiosity, I have to ask. How tight do you expect your temps to run without a PID controller in your Pitboss? 20-40 degrees is about right considering the grill that you have. A lot of people are going to tell you that this is of no...

    Help. Yoder YS640 vs Rec Tec 700

    That's too bad. I certainly wouldn't be happy with that. Do they still sell that model, or has it been discontinued? It's looking like this sort of thing can happen anywhere and to anyone. https://community.yodersmokers.com/viewtopic.php?p=8603...

    Help. Yoder YS640 vs Rec Tec 700

    Another Rec Tec owner here. There has been talk about "rust" in this thread, and "quality of steel", paint flaking and such. But as you allude to, issues can happen with anything and from anywhere. Have a look. This smoker is said by the narrator to be 2 years old. It needs paint. We've...

    Just Added the New Rec Tec Competition Cart and Front shelf to My RT 590 Stampede

    Thank you. I have noticed a big difference in the maneuverability due to all 4 of the wheels being able to rotate and pivot vs just the front two wheels.

    Has anyone used the "Heavy D" Stick burner attachment?

    Well one tip which might help, is that with your Bull, you'll need to either bore a hole through the stainless steel, or use a hole saw to cut through it. Make sure that you use the right tools. And before that, also you may want to take into consideration the remainder of the 6yrs of your...

    Yeah, I think so.

    Just Added the New Rec Tec Competition Cart and Front shelf to My RT 590 Stampede

    As soon as these two items became available, I decided to add them to my RT 590 Stampede. They work great and I'm quite satisfied with them. Wanted to let others who own this particular grill, or who are contemplating it, that these items, the shelf, and the cart, are excellent in their...

    seasoning weber smokey mountain

    I wouldn't and didn't bother seasoning either of mine. I have an 18in and a 22in.

    I have made my decision! WSM 22.5

    Good choice. The WSMs are a great value, are easy to use, and produce great bbq. And by all means get the SS door and the hinge.

    pit boss start up over shoot

    Phone call? I'd take it right back to where I bought it from and demand my money back. You set it at 180° and it climbs all the way up to 257°. You set it at 250° and an hour later it's running at 274°? What's the point in it having a temperature setting on it at all if it's not going to...
