    Looking to go from propane to pellet smoker?

    You may want to add a smoke daddy cold smoker like I did. You can try other things first though. Some things to try: 1. Pellet tubes or trays or something like that 2. (in the Rec Tec community - we call it) meat loaf pan trick. You can put an aluminum pan full of wood chips in front of...

    Question for Rec Tec users

    You mean decrease the feed rate. The minimum feed rate won't affect you getting you higher temps but will affect you not being able to do low temps like 180 or even over shooting 400 in the hot. Most people end up around 4% feed rate. I was down to 3 or 3.5% in the summer but I just checked...

    Question for Rec Tec users

    This is not normal. Change your minimum feed rate in the app or on the controller. I would suggest 3.5%. It comes in at 6.5%. If you are in a cold climate, 6.5% is fine but even in like 70 degrees with direct sunlight, 6.5% can be too high. I think even through the Chicago winter(still...

    Smoke Daddy Magnum P.I.G. producing thick white smoke.

    RCAlan posted some great links. Before I got my Magnum PIG, I read all those articles about it. I hadn't had any issues with mine producing thick white smoke. What I do is put charcoals at the bottom(only) and light with a propane torch. If you have a small chimney, that would work also...

    Anyone use this diffuer?

    It does "fit" but you have to turn it sideways and it fits lower to the firebox so therefore you can't get temps as high. If you don't care about getting to 600, then no worries. I have the Heavy D heat diffuser which is the same design but has the area for wood. When I tried to put on high...

    New Pellet Grill

    I'm a Rec Tec guy but of all of those, I'd go with Camp Chef.

    Anyone use this diffuer?

    Hey - this is not made for the Bull as the Bull is a rear auger. This is designed for a side auger like the RT-590. Maybe Dennis could make one for the Bull. My deflector in my Bull has warped but works fine. To me, as long as it is not warped so bad to where it would push up on the drip...

    Weber SmokeFire - anyone get it yet

    I watched his video and didn't see any issues. But even though he cooked a lot, he didn't have any LONG low smoke where a lot of grease would go down. I think that's why he was ok. It is a total fail their solution is just to add aluminum pans below. RCAlan - yeah, that would work. And...

    Weber SmokeFire - anyone get it yet

    This is comical. I do realize most likely a lot of the people who got it are new to Pellet grills so like opening the lid for an extending period is something you learn so that has value. But the whole point(as babybackmaniac said) of their design is to avoid having a drip plan. This is...

    Weber SmokeFire - anyone get it yet

    If you are looking for a winter grilling pellet grill, I would highly recommend the Rec Tec Bullseye when it is re-released in a couple months. I will be adding this grill along with my Bull. The Bullseye can get to 650 in like 12 minutes in summer weather. I believe it gets over 400 in...

    Weber SmokeFire - anyone get it yet

    Always been a Weber fan myself and thus why I started this thread. I've become a huge Rec Tec fan owning my Bull so I would suggest Rec Tec however I have a friend who has two woodwinds by CampChef and likes them a lot. He wishes he had a Rec Tec but they definitely do the job. Neither of his...

    Weber SmokeFire - anyone get it yet

    Yeah....I'm not sure what you're saying. I have and did do my research. I think anyone (or at least most) who did a lot of research into pellet grills, arrived at Rec Tec. I did quite a bit of research. Traeger was actually the company that got me interested in pellet grills. From there I...

    Weber SmokeFire - anyone get it yet

    Man....well, I believe there is a return window they have. Maybe try it out for awhile. But if you plan to do any low and slow, this design just doesn't appear like it will work as I feared that and tons of others did also. The pellets not feeding appears to be a big issue also. I'm not...

    Weber SmokeFire - anyone get it yet

    What's the URL on that forum? Yeah, RCAlan - it is sad that some are first time pellet people and they will get a bad impression right off the bad. I've had the opposite experience with my Rec Tec. It isn't perfect but works damn good and anytime I have issues, I know Rec Tec will support it...

    Weber SmokeFire - anyone get it yet

    I never thought to look on reddit...thanks! Yeah, appears some users are definitely having issues. My fear of the grease dripping down definitely seems to be an issue with some as pellets have gone off to the side of the firebox and caught fire from grease....

    Weber SmokeFire - anyone get it yet

    That's one of my concerns(not that I'm buying one)....how will the grill/smoker handle after a long brisket or pulled pork cook with tons of grease....how would that work if then I want to cook steaks on high after that. With a normal grease tray, you clean or re-foil....

    Weber SmokeFire - anyone get it yet

    I'm a Rec Tec guy but Weber is a great company! I used a Genesis for over 10 years until I realized how great smoking is and ZERO regrets on my Rec Tec Bull but either way, still curious how people's experiences are with the grill. It was 'supposedly' released 3 days ago. I would assume that...

    New Pellet Grill

    If you can swing the RT-700 Bull price, go for it. I'm almost at a year old and absolutely l LOVE my Bull. But I hear great things about the Stampede if you need to save a few hundred.

    Pellet Pro Vertical Cabinet smoker

    I'm curious as well. I've seen this unit in person and it's a beast! SmokeDaddy Inc is a great company and doesn't get a lot pub but that put out great products. This may be the best pellet smoker they have ever done.

    New Traeger Texas Elite......Keep or Return?

    Third on Rec Tec but you will need to spend around $300 more but it would be worth it....
