    Rec Tec RT-700 Bull. Large temp fluctuations

    So my buddy just bought a used RT-700 Bull with a cold smoker box and when we plugged it in today it was acting a little strange. I set the temp to 225° and everything looked good. It hit 225° and the fan was cycling. Next thing I know the temp dropped quickly to roughly 150° and then rose...

    Is the Yoder YS640 worth $750 more than the RecTec Stampede?

    The comp cart would have certainly fixed the stability issue with the RecTec

    (Prospective) Newbie Pellet question

    I'm partial to the RecTec. Great grill. Great customer service. Best warranty in the business by far.

    Z grills anyone know anything

    Heard mixed reviews and also heard they tried to back out of one of their previous rebate programs. It's crazy how they literally try and "give away" their grills constantly. Makes me wonder why they have to have all these rebate programs to get people to buy them...

    (Prospective) Newbie Pellet question

    I'll try and take a video of the whole thing. I mean there's smoke but it's not like people are choking on it or it's so dense you think the house is on fire.

    Just ordered a Rec Tec RT-700

    Same here. I would've never had the patience to cook a pork butt for 19 hours in my electric smoker. The RecTec made it simple!

    Best pellet grill for the buck???

    Check out RecTec. I upgraded from a MES30 as well and the RecTec is incredible. Has features that you won't find on other grills until you get into the $2500-$3000 range and depending on the size you can get them for as low as like $600. They have a fantastic warranty and the customer service...

    I can take a video and post a link to it for how much smoke mine makes on the extreme smoke setting. It's not that bad. i live in a townhouse and have it on my deck.

    Super new to the party - some questions about Pellet Grills

    I recently came from an electric smoker. i went with a RecTec and i absolutely love it! It's night and day. The customer service is top notch and the warranty is the best that i could find.

    I was also told when I called the stampede used 430 stainless for the cooking grates and drip pan. The bull uses 304 stainless...

    My Traeger Mods...So Far

    Did you notice a difference in the amount of pellets you use with the bricks vs without the bricks? I would think that you would use fewer pellets since it will hold the temps better once it got there? Also could that be the reason for the decreased smoke (decreased pellet use)?

    Just ordered a Rec Tec RT-700

    HA I sold my MES 5 days after my RecTec came. i cooked a couple things in it and they all came out WAY better than the MES. It's an awesome grill. I made a pork butt in it last week. Took 19 hours, which would have been a chore on the MES, and it was literally set it and forget it. The WiFi...

    Any tips for smoking just the flat?

    Here's what i normally do. I used to make my own brisket rub but I gave up on it because I found one that was way better than any of the ones I tried to make. This is what I've been using... You can of course use your own if you prefer. I cut the fat cap down to about 1/4 inch and put the...

    first brisket

    If you don't have a budget and you are looking for kind of a best of both worlds sort of thing you might want to look into a small pellet grill/smoker. There are some good options out there. I had a MES. I bought it when I was first trying to see if I was any good at all of this. I found it...
