    Featured Which one??

    I don't notice any difference in smoke flavor. I had a Trager with the traditional stack before. I may get the vent covers for my 590 to bling it out.

    Featured Which one??

    Point A to B, they will all make basically the same food. The path between the two points vary grill to grill. Your time and mileage will master any grill you commit to. My Trag made great food. My Rec Tec makes virtually the same, but is way less frustrating doing it.

    Trying to talk myself into upgrade Rec Tec

    The usually run discounts on accessories around holidays. I got 28% during leap day in Feb. The grills kick ass, if you have the budget, why wait.

    New Pellet Grill

    I was saving for a Yoder, but eventually realized I couldn't convince myself it was twice the cooker. A thousand extra bucks isn't always life changing money, but now a days a consumer needs to be smart. I personally went with Rec Tec. Reviews seem very positive from Camp Chef users. The Grilla...

    Pellet Question

    I bought a couple bags of LJ charhickory last summer. The charcoal added a spiciness to the flavor. As pleased as I was to find a difference in it, I really didn't like it. I went back to LJ 100% hickory when they were used up. My local Rural King has been out of everything but LJ comp blend...

    Question about temp and display

    I don't think your control has a value to adjust your RTD reading. Some controls allow you to make variable shifts to "dial in" RTDs and meat probes. Since you've checked it, obviously it's going to be something your concerned about. I would place your thermometer around the grilling surface...

    Upgrading to Pellet Smoker

    The RTs have larger pellet hoppers. I always hated having a bag with 3-4lbs of pellets left over. Little things like hopper size and wifi I didn't know I needed until I had it. The 590 exhaust have zero effect on smoke performance. They do make fitting up a winter jacket next to impossible though.

    Is my Traeger dying?

    Excellent! Now that you've proven you enjoy the process, it sounds like it's time to get exactly what you want. Let us know what happens.

    Is my Traeger dying?

    It's hard judging how long these things should last. Without knowing the age or being able to judge the amount of usage the grill has had only complicates it. I would check and clean all your connectors behind the control. If the rest of the grill is solid I would plan on buying a new control...

    Looking at a new pellet smoker..

    I had no intentions to trigger "BGE Guy."

    Looking at a new pellet smoker..

    I was all in on a Yoder myself. But after comparing the two, I couldn't come up with math that made a Yoder worth twice the money. The money I saved is eventually going to be a kamado to go along with my RT.

    Looking at a new pellet smoker..

    60lbs of pecan in, and YES, I would totally buy RT again. Temps are solid, the control is easy, the wifi always connects, the graphing is surprisingly interesting to watch. Some of my joy stems from being completely worn out out trying to make my old grill better. But it all, the rt-590 has...

    Grilla Grill Silverbac Alpha Vs. Traeger Ironwood 650

    Rec Tec man. Legit as a pellet grill can get.
  15. sweetride95

    Pizzed.

    In your price range, seriously consider the Rec Tec 700 Bull.

    Grilla Grill Silverbac Alpha Vs. Traeger Ironwood 650

    Rec Tec RT-590 for the win. ZERO comparison in this price range. I've personally owned Traeger, Savannah stoked a traeger, and have hands on wiggle tested everything big box store. I was bored with the constant RT pimping too. Now I have one, and damn is it awesome.

    Looking at a new pellet smoker..

    I recently swapped out a Traeger Pro22 for a Rec Tec rt-590. I have to say, the RT koolaid is legit. Construction and temp control are above other grills in this price range. Biggest surprise, the auger doesn't make sound while running. Occasionally you hear a pellet get pinched, but there's...

    New Pellet Grill

    +1 on wifi. Didn't think I needed it until I got. Very nice being able to check the grill and probe temps. Rec Tec does a nice graph of everything too.

    Question for Rec Tec users

    Did you have to adjust the door much after adding the gasket?

    Temperature Swings - Why Should I Care?

    I don't think temp swings matter that much. My traeger swung 30 degrees and I never really made bad food because of it. The problem I had with swings came from running low temps and worrying about the thing flaming out on me. It never did, but many times I caught billowing the startup type...
