Howdy from NH. I have chargriller that I use a pellet tube and a masterbuilt electric wood smoker. I just bought a thermoworks thermometer. I'm looking for a 'set and forget' smoker.

I'm currently debating between masterbuilt 800 and recteq 560.

the MB I like because it has the griddle, sears, has a pizza oven and rotisserie. Am hoping my local HD has it on a black friday sale, but I'm thinking not because the 560 is on sale, but not the 800/1050... and would have a 18 months no interest payments via HD.... or maybe I'll get lucky after work when I stop at Walmart and find one on clearance?

The recteq seems like it's a better quality build, but pellets instead of charcoal... But I could add a bunch of stuff and get 0% interest for a bit of time?

Tought choices :)

Welcome from Long Island, NY. My son is a teacher in Keene, NH. I also own a MB 800 if you have any questions. Nailed it at a walmart in PA on clearance last year for $347. They don't show them online, you have to go there to find them.

Sorry about that Chris, but I knew you were up there somewhere in that neck of the woods...

I think i just can't decide between the MB800 and Recteq 560... and pellet or charcoal...

Got to tell you, I like my MB800 but it is a charcoal hog and I don't expect to get more than 5 years out of. It is outside but covered. My next move will probably be a reqteq even though the smoke flavor will not be as good as the MB.

The "5 years" is another reason...unless I got it for like pennies on the dollar.... I think I'm going to grab a reqtec 560.

Thanks all! I just took the plunge.... RecTeq 560 it is... It'll nicely complement my chargriller charcoal grill and masterbuilt 30 smoker...
