Top roast was done on the pellet smoker I'd bet, looks drier

Actually the opposite and I had a pan of liquid in w the Green Egg. The one on the pellet grill was very moist, my only complaint is not enough bark.

What temps did you use and how long did you cook it?

What temps did you use and how long did you cook it?

250* on both and about 6 to 6.5 hrs. Pulled ed them around 200* when they were probe tender. Was my first time smoking on the Egg so wanted to see the difference at the same cooking temp

AND??? What was your preference and why. I'm going to need some new equipment and am undecided about direction to go in...JJ

Birthday is in June. If I am going to hit up my Accountant (Wife of 30 years.) for $1000+, I had better be happy with the cooker for a Long Time to come...JJ

Lol I worked for an accountant so I get it! I really do love them both. Rectec is great because I can smoke without babysitting and food is delish! But wanted something I could get to a very high temp and sear meat and smoke on so thats when I adopted an Egg lol

Once you get used to your Egg, you won't have to babysit it either. They hold temps amazingly well for hours on end.

I noticed that, my biggest issue was regulating temp in the beginning
