Calling all Traeger and Rec Tec enthusiasts

Hi everyone,
I have decided to pull the trigger on a new pellet grill. At the moment, I am torn between the Rec Tec RT-700 and the Traeger Ironwood series. If you own any of these grills, I would love to hear about your experience with them.

cheers,
Dennis

My RT 680/700 has been a beast. Built like a tank. CS off the carts. Great grill for the money.

I'm in the RT-700 group. What an amazing grill!! It is extremely well built, unbelievably reliable, and a true dream to cook on. It is also very versatile...basically a one-size-fits-all cooker if ever there was one. You can pretty much do anything on it from super low & slow for sausage to high searing heat on steaks. Wouldn't trade mine for love nor money.

I signed up on the Traeger forum a couple years back when I was looking at them. I still get emails from them, nothing but trouble, get the RT. RAY

Another vote for the RT 700. I have the cold smoke box and the comp cart options, love them.

Robert,
I appreciate your response. Which RT-700 group? I have decided to pull the trigger on the RT-700. Any pellet brand you recommend?

Cheers,

Which RT-700 group?

Maybe I misled you with that comment. No official group, just the group of people that own the RT-700

You won't be disappointed. They are great cookers. I have a batch of sausage on mine right now that's about done and may flash blast a couple rib eyes later for dinner.

The package I got from Rec Tec when I bought mine came with 200# of their Ultimate blend. Went through those real fast and ordered a bunch from Dick's Sporting Goods that are the Lumber Jack Supreme blend, which is what I'm using now. I've enjoyed both very much. The LJ pellets are very popular among the forum members here, and for good reason.
