Hi,
New member here and glad to joining this great forum and looking forward to learn as much as I can.
I currently use 6 burners gas grill and pellet tube smoker and we like the smoke flavor better than wood chips so I guess pellet smoker is the right choice for us.
I am pretty much set on ordering Rec Tec RT-700 but wanted to make sure that the reality of this smoker or any other advanced pellet smoker in general meet my expectation or what I have heard reading forums and reviews in terms of temp control and maintenance.
A lot of RT-700 owners praise how accurate their set temp to the actual, my question would be, are they referring to the actual temp that measured by the built-in thermometer or by external digital thermometer set at grate level?
Also, what is the accepted temp gap between the built in thermometer and grate level thermometer? What solutions are there if such gap needs to be reduced?
Using my gas grill for indirect cooking, the grate level is at least 50 degree lower than the warmer grate level and since RT-700's built-in thermometer is all the way up I was wondering how the temp will be different from the grate level and how to reduce the gap if any.
Thank you for reading and helping
