    Pit Boss-Traeger-Recteq best for the money.

    IMHO RT-590 all day, every day. I've owned several (to include brands you've mentioned) and my only regret is not discovering Recteq sooner. The difference in cost of something you'll get the benefits of for years is a couple of briskets to put it into perspective.

    Upgrade my Traeger to What?

    Not sure I agree with this. I feel like that mid-range group offers maybe 85% (arbitrary number for discussion purposes) the exact same experience overall. It really comes down to; are you willing to pay that price tag premium for the 85% to be 98%? At a point, it becomes the law of diminishing...

    Upgrade my Traeger to What?

    I actually went the other way and I'm quite happy with the decision to do so. I regularly saw people praising the RT-700 and was focused on that for a while. I wasn't quite sold, especially given the price tag, to pull the trigger though. Once I discovered that they made basically exactly what I...

    To seal or not to seal door

    Bingo. I was glad I noticed it right after the initial burn-in because it was easier to clean. $20 and 10-minutes worth of time later I'm all good w/o having to worry about that again. I get that most who own these like the patina but it's just not for me. Pro tip: like the underside of your...

    To seal or not to seal door

    I did on my new Recteq only for aesthetic reasons. It's stainless and I didn't want the patina look on my shiny new stainless. That's the only reason though. Added bonus is that it "feels" better when you close it and it has like a high-end German luxury car door shutting type satisfaction. I...

    Picking the right Pellet Smoker....

    I'm a new Recteq owner (RT-590) but not new to smoking and smokers. This thing is amazing. I read about the happy customers for a year or more when considering what my next smoker would be and now I see what. The build quality and materials are second to none. The app is perfect and...

    Rec Tec , Traeger or others?

    Recteq all the way. New RT-590 owner here and this is the best smoker I've ever owned. I've got limited experience with this particular smoker compared to my other smokers and others who own this one but so far I'm smitten. The build quality and materials is second to none. The electronics are...

    Brand New Recteq Competition Cart for RT-590 Stampede Smoker (Northern Colorado)

    Brand new and still in the box. These are $300 plus tax/shipping (making the total over $315) from Recteq but are currently out of stock and difficult to get. Great way to get one local today and save about 10% off of retail price at the same time. Still boxed up and ready for it's new home. I...

    Green Mountain Grills Daniel Boone WiFi Control Board GMG Controller

    Brand New. Thought I had a controller issue but plugged in and confirmed it was a wiring issue on the smoker itself and NOT the control board. Fixed the wiring issue, confirmed that this new one worked and then replaced with my old one since it had all of my WiFi settings and what not already...

    NGD

    I don't shop at Dick's for personal reasons so I would recommend finding a local group buy on LumberJack and you'll probably get a better deal anyway. If you're too shy to reach out to people who share similar interests in your community and if you don't mind supporting a big box I would suggest...

    Nope. That's not it. No way could we be expected to just know that. I'm sticking with Not Giving Detail as it seems the most fitting given the lack of detail in the title of this thread.

    Best Pellet Grill Under $3k

    I second the Rec Teq recommendation. I don't know about $3k but I'm pretty happy with my sub-$1k investment for an RT-590 so far. Granted, I haven't even done a smoke on it yet but after inspection, assembly and the burn-in this thing is top notch compared to previous smokers that I thought were...

    Looking to replace my Masterbuilt PRO smoker

    After MUCH research on what my next pellet smoker would be I finally opted for a RecTeq RT-590 and while it just arrived and I haven't even had a chance to use it yet I can say that my first-hand inspection and assembly confirms everything I read about them. This thing is incredible. The fit...

    GMG Daniel Boone Circuit Board

    Since OP no longer has one available I won't be stepping on their toes with posting this and it seems it could help others out: I have one w/o probe but w/antenna. It's not brand new brand new but as close as you can get w/o paying new price. I installed it long enough to determine the issue...
