    Pellet Smoker - Need advice on first one

    Thanks. I'll look for tarnish spray. Why don't you recommend an extension? Oh, it's legit. She was ok with the RT-1250 :)

    Enlarging smoke stack on pellet grill

    Thanks for the advice. So I'm thinking if I use a much larger tube, and make an a Z shape (where the middle is straight vs angular), then a bottleneck shouldn't occur. Keep a rain cover on it, like the grill has, it should hopefully be ok

    Also, I see you are in Tampa. I'm on the other side, but we have similar weather (hot all year, humidity, and hurricanes). How is your RT holding up against rust?

    Enlarging smoke stack on pellet grill

    Hey All, I just ordered the RecTeq RT-1250. It will be on the inside of my patio. There is a ceiling which is cinderblock and painted. Ideally I do not want the smoke to rise to the top and discolor the ceiling. The patio is surrounded by screen door/wall to let airflow in/out and keep bugs...

    I do have an outdoor ceiling fan which should help if adding a tube is a bad idea.

    Pellet Smoker - Need advice on first one

    So, follow-up question. I am going to place the smoker in my covered patio. The top part of the patio is the house. My concern is the smoke from the smoker will turn the ceiling dark. I'd like to have an aluminum tube put over the smokestack so it funnels the smoke up and then diverts it away...

    Pellet Smoker - Need advice on first one

    Good question! I was thinking of getting a tow hook attached to the SUV, but getting a Ford F-150 Raptor would be very much needed. I mean, we want to make sure we can get to our destination very fast to increase the airflow to the smoker! I was driving home, wife called to ask a question, she...

    Pellet Smoker - Need advice on first one

    Thanks everyone. Life has been busy this past week(end) but will update. I'm thinking of the following 3, and I'd like to see one or some of them in person. Youtube videos are great, but tactile feel is important. Each has pro's and cons. For example, I like the ones that have a solid drip tray...

    Pellet Smoker - Need advice on first one

    Thank you for the advice and writeup. I also watched that competition, and liked that they clearly preferred the weber ribs and even assumed it was the weber. Im going to some local places in a week to see in person, and also talking to some companies about building an outdoor kitchen (rain...

    Pellet Smoker - Need advice on first one

    It sounds like i should wait until the new one is coming out in spring. What's the model of it? I also spoke to a grill store and they are recommending the GMG peak prime plus. Do folks have opinions (ok we all do, lol) about this one?

    Pellet Smoker - Need advice on first one

    You guys have lots of great info and now im confused, lol I dont want to sacrifice taste, but charcoal vs pellet...is it THAT much of a difference or subtle?. Ill investigate gravity fed, but ultimately i think one of my biggest concerns is also ease of use (set it and forget it). If gravity...

    Gravity fed charcoal? Im super novice and thought pellets were just tiny charcoal pieces so would do the same. With gravity fed, can a controler be set (e.g. 180F for 10 hours). What are you eyeing up?

    Pellet Smoker - Need advice on first one

    Appreciate those replies. I like the idea of the smoker with enamel to help protect paint. Also, i agree on using disposable alum trays. Does it fit in the recteq? I like its warranty better

    Pellet Smoker - Need advice on first one

    Hello Ive been smoking for past 1.5 years with chargriller gas/wood combo. It requires a lot of watching (add/remove heat). This means I'm focused on the smoker and not my kids, plus, limited to smoking for 5 to 8 hours. With that, I'd like to upgrade to electronic pellet smoker...
