Proud owner of a new Rec Tec Smoker Grill

[oconeeal]

I have been reading and wanting to get a new smoker.  Thanks to the help of SeenRed and other post on this website I went to Augusta Ga today to Rec Tec and pick up a new grill.  The people there were so helpful and answered all my question. Got home tonight and put it together and will do the first burn tomorrow.  I am looking forward to years of cooking on this grill/smoker.

Great , hope it does exactly what you want. Some Q-view of it would be nice , while curing it or better yet , with a big old hunk a meat.

Have fun and . . .

Just burned in my Rec Tec this morning. First smoker I have bought and very excited. Have seen people comment in forums and YouTube about cooking bacon to season it. Is this a normal practice and important to do?

Thanks.

When I was at Rec Tec yesterday that what they said to do so today my first smoke was bacon candy.

Thanks for reply and picture. I noticed you had your remote temp gauge in the grill but still conditioning the grill. Any reason?

Wish I could have driven to pick up the rec tec. But happy the truck finally made it to Seattle.

I had check the temp of my grill and it was off.  I called Rec Tec on Sat they had me run a test on the temp and then over the phone reset the temp prob.  They were so good to work with.
