    First time wings on Rec Teq 700

    Have watched several videos on YouTube posted by guys at rec teq and I’m kind of confused. It seems depending on which video you watch, they give you different temperature and cooking instructions. The one I am going with is one of the first ones I watched. I was wondering what you all think of...

    Which pellet smoker is a good one?

    Evolution. Hence, life in the 21st century too. I was using a Weber smoky mountain and was just spending way too much time getting things going and monitoring etc. Might not be as authentic or even as smoky, but I’m looking forward to my new Rec Teq.

    Which pellet smoker is a good one?

    Interesting, good to know. Thanks for explaining that. I think I might try these to start. Reviews look awesome.

    Which pellet smoker is a good one?

    So I’m looking around at all my local stores and it doesn’t seem like anyone has some of the better pellets mentioned here. Just checked tractor supply. They have bear mountain and they also have pit boss. The bear mountain has oak in it and I thought I read somewhere that is considered a...

    Which pellet smoker is a good one?

    OK that’s really good to hear. For some reason I thought this thing was really heavy. I had like 300 pounds stuck in my head. I’ll probably be back here asking some questions. I’ve watched a good amount of YouTube videos that rec teq has posted as well as other people that own these. I think...

    Which pellet smoker is a good one?

    Truck delivered it yesterday afternoon. Now I just have to find some time to put it together. Only thing that sucks is it’s in my garage and I’m gonna have to move it up to my deck which has about 10 or 12 stairs from the ground level. I’m assuming taking it piece by piece off the pallet and...

    Which pellet smoker is a good one?

    Well I’m happy to report that my rec teq 700 is on a truck and on the way to the house. Should be delivered soon!. Wife surprised me last night and told me she ordered it. For an early anniversary/birthday gift. Can’t wait!!!!

    Which pellet smoker is a good one?

    Heck yeah you’re right, $200 off is nice! I am mentioning that today. Anyways, it’s very interesting what you just said about the chimney with coals and wood chunks. I don’t think I’ve ever seen or heard of that. Definitely have one already because I have the weber kettle grill and Smoky...

    Which pellet smoker is a good one?

    Real interesting how different types of smokers have different smoke profiles. Like you said though, the real thing is, everyone has a different liking and it is personal opinion.

    Which pellet smoker is a good one?

    I hear you about the smoke flavor sometimes being too strong. I’ve done a couple cooks like that on the weber smoky mountain. Not necessarily the unit itself but probably user error and putting into much wood. that rec TEC 700 really looks like it fits the bill. Build quality, ease of...

    Which pellet smoker is a good one?

    Thank you for your feedback. Sounds like me starting (and still having) the WSM. The one think About don’t want to do is but something that falls apart or won’t last. Hence, me owning a Weber smokey Mountain and a Weber kettle grill. Moved in from cheap made gas grill that weed rusting out...

    Which pellet smoker is a good one?

    So wanted to check back in since it’s been a few days. I’m leaning hard towards the rec tec 700. I see they have a sale where they’re $200 off now so I probably need to jump on it. If there is one complaint/concern, its that there is no second shelf inside. I have not seen one in person but I...

    Which pellet smoker is a good one?

    Very good point….didn’t even think about that for the WSM. The other thing in addition is getting the thing out, filling up with charcoal, start more charcoal to dump on it. It really isn’t a lot but the convenience of the pellet smoker just seems like the flip of a switch. Something my...

    Which pellet smoker is a good one?

    Well I appreciate all those who have posted. A lot of good information here. I think I might be leaning towards the rec tec 700 at this point. And the Traeger seems like a very well-built and very popular smoker. They’re available at Costco and I never realized this, but Home Depot has them as...

    Which pellet smoker is a good one?

    Wow… I appreciate all these replies. I’ll be honest, I really don’t need to worry about it searing. I have a weber kettle grill that I can do that on or even better, I have the 36 inch Blackstone griddle which sears steaks like nobody’s business. I guess the only thing that is slightly...

    Which pellet smoker is a good one?

    I have had a weber smoky mountain for about five or six years now. While I really like it, I’m just looking for something a little more convenient as life has gotten busier. More of a “ set it and forget it” type of smoker. I was in Costco last week and they had a special on Traegers but I...

    Did I mess up?

    Thanks chef....that makes sense. Just got a little freaked out because I've never done it like that before.

    Ok thanks so much. It did settle down. Glad I left the meat off until it did.
