    Rec Tec

    I cant wait to get back stateside and see what options RECTEC has - while I absolutely love my RECTEC and customer service, thinking I may be able to sell it over her to a German, get some good cash in return and throw that against a RT700 when I get back stateside. I'm envious as to what you...

    Rec Tec

    I ordered mine from pelletgrillaccessories.com - they dont show it on the site but Mike there can assist.. The model I got was the "new style" with the flip door. It was $119.00 in June of 2015, but I think between that option and Don Godkes and some others you have more choices - what i was...

    I don't - I have looked at the cold smoke box and when I get back stateside, will probably get one. I would think, that since it recirculates the smoke and it still still eventually goes out of the chimney (where you connect the cold smoke box) it would still be effective and work fine. I also...

    If you see my picture with the Venison Brats and Smoked mac and cheese you can see my downdraft. I have run it wide open and closed (more recycled smoke) and have noticed a difference in my smoke ring and flavour. Obviously, on a pellet smoker the type of pellet you use will make a difference...

    brand new in box anova cooker

    You might think it's crazy but I use my SV machine all the time. Not to smoke meat but absolutely to reheat it. I have brought vacuum sealed (or ziploc bagged) pulled pork, brisket and ribs to work from weekend cooks and served my entire office without having to worry about the meat drying or...

    I just open it wide - mine is a different style and the entire circular metal disc locks in or slides down thus reopening directly into the grill.. I have the searing grates and have run it full on making pizza's and seared steaks etc.. with no issues. I dont see any downside - I have read all...

    Pork Butt, Ribs and Wings

    Just pulled my ribs - no 3-2-1- just straight smoke, spritz and TLC.. Gonna share with some locals, the wife will add her own BBQ sauce but these are good without any sauce due to Oakridge BBQ Amazing Rib Rub!!

    My 3 pound briskets

    I live in Germany and its next to impossible to get a Packer Brisket. What I get is 7-10lb flats with all the fat off one side and a mixed fat cap on the other -choice depending. I have run a number of these in my RECTEC 680 over the past two years and have gotten to the point where Americans...

    Kassler Ripchen

    I live in Germany now - while we eat all the local German food - the Germans seem to be more interested in my RECTEC 680 and what I'm doing with it. Running ribs today but last weekend I made smoked chicken and a TRI TIP. Gave my German neighbours a chicken and the week before an entire pork...

    The downdraft is money - cant remember where I got it but it was before I cam to Germany. It was from a thread where a guy tricked out his RT680 and I ordered one from the link. It still releases smoke from the chimney but when you open the lid the chamber is so full, sometimes you can't see...

    Pork Butt, Ribs and Wings

    Over here, Sunday is quiet day and the Germans are pretty serious about it.. I have bribed all of them with pulled pork, ribs and brisket - my smoker can run all day and night even on Sundays and they dont complain. They try to smoke over here but its nothing like what we do.. to them its like...

    Pork Butt, Ribs and Wings

    Looks awesome - Running some ribs on my RECTEC 680 over here in Germany today - the pork here in unreal and as you can see ribs are cut a little thicker than in US -due to how they butcher, but its incredibly fresh with no hormones and locally produced for all the village butcher shops.

    I have had a RECTEC 680 now for 3 Years and I am SOLD. I have a Larger BGE and even with all the gadgets attached it does not even come close on smoking. I have friends with Traeger and GM smokers - but my 680 I still think runs and manages better than those. The other great thing about RECTEC...
