    RecTec RT-340

    I was in your shoes a couple years ago and decided to spend a little more money to get the pellet smoker I really wanted. I prefer to just buy once and be done. The Camp Chef is fine and many like them but you’re going to get a better controller, stainless steel and a ceramic ignitor with the...

    RecTec RT-340

    You may be thinking of the Bullseye. The Trailblazer is stainless, ceramic ignitor etc. Same as the others just smaller. The legs do fold up for portability. https://www.rectecgrills.com/size-up-your-grill/

    RecTec RT-340

    It's a little on the small side but RecTec is a good brand with excellent customer support.

    RT-590

    Not that I’m aware of. I can tell you I’ve sampled his brisket and pork shoulder. Both were very good and he’s a novice.

    Poultry on Pellet Grill/Smoker

    Smoke essentially attaches to the surface of meat. It doesn’t really penetrate anything. Interesting article on smoke, scroll down to the section called Smoke and Food: https://amazingribs.com/more-technique-and-science/grill-and-smoker-setup-and-firing/what-you-need-know-about-wood-smoke-and

    Poultry on Pellet Grill/Smoker

    Yesterday I smoked some chicken breasts at 180 for 30 minutes then 1.5 hours at 235 with 100% hickory pellets. Tons of smoke, almost too much. If you're smoking chicken with skin you'll definitely want to use high heat at the end. I've had good luck with spatchcock chicken and wings on my...

    RT-590

    My neighbor has the Stampede with the stainless vents. They do keep the water out. He also used high temp caulk to seal around them.

    Grilla vs Zgrills

    My main concern would be customer support.

    Grilla vs Rec Tec vs ???

    Some are more complicated than others. I’m not familiar with the pellet smokers that use P settings. Mine just has a temp range setting between Lo to Full. Keep the lid closed and push the power button. Then set the temp. Put the meat on when it reaches the set temp.

    Rec Tec Bull/Stampede Owners - Rust Issues?

    I haven't heard about rust on those two models. Two of my friends have the Stampede with no rust.

    Grilla vs Rec Tec vs ???

    I get plenty of visual smoke and smoke flavor with the PID controller in my RecTec. Certainly more than I would using an oven.

    Grilla vs Rec Tec vs ???

    I've seen the Stampede in person. It's not portable. RT also makes a Trailblazer which is the portable model with folding legs.

    Grilla vs Rec Tec vs ???

    The Stampede is made of a thinner gauge stainless steel than the Bull. I have the RT 680 and have been happy with it. Puts out a lot of smoke with the new wifi controller. I've got two friends with Stampedes and they both like them. RT also uses a ceramic ignitor in all their smokers. I...

    Looking into getting a pellet cooker. Suggestions welcome

    WARRANTY SERVICE Contact your nearest Pit Boss dealer for repair or replacement parts. Dansons Inc. requires proof of purchase to establish a warranty claim; therefore, retain your original sales receipt or invoice for future reference. So you can't just call them?

    Trying out a ZGrill pellet smoker for the first time

    I don't have a Z Grill, I have a different brand. Pellets are basically irrelevant unless they are damp. I've burned many different brands and wood types with no issues including lots of Lumberjack. The controller should adjust the fan and auger for whatever is burning in the fire pot.

    Cookin Pellets Bulk Delivery

    They shipped them in individual boxes? Was it on a pallet?

    Pit Boss 820 issues

    I taste maybe a slight hint of charcoal using the LJ Char/Hickory blend. They are overrated IMO. I prefer the 100% hickory but give them a try for yourself. Everyone has different tastes.

    Cookin Pellets Bulk Delivery

    Cookin' Pellets is the brand of pellets. Sounds like he ordered direct. I'd shoot them an email and ask how long it usually takes.

    Pit Boss 820 issues

    My advice would be to return it. Pellets smokers are supposed to make things easier. I turn mine on (not a Pit Boss) and set the temp and it stays there. No smoke settings, no preheating, no flameouts and no fires. Not trying to rag on Pit Boss but geez why so complicated? I use charcoal...
