New Rec Tec Mini Arrived
« Reply #-1 on: January 02, 2015, 05:17:50 PM »
  :) My Mini ;D was delivered today -first impressions:
Packaged well cardboard box was of low quality however the styrofoam packaging was super. Only damage that could occur would be deliberate. Came fully assembled just had to remove all the covering. Checked it out and powered it up and everything was working so I loaded up some pellets and fired it up! It took about 25min to come up to 400 degrees for the initial burn in. Outside temp was around 30 degrees. Held temp very very well maybe a 3 degree fluctuation. Waited about an hour and threw on 3 strips of bacon 1 on each end and one in the middle. The far end and the middle finished before the far right ( next to the inside probe ) was done. Did not see much smoke at 400 so I turned the temp down to 225 and out came the smoke! A lot heavier and consistent. ;D
All in all I am pleased and can't wait to cook a brisket flat tomorrow.

I think it is in this forums terms and conditions that ALL new cookers MUST include a picture of said cooker. ;)

All of us who have had experience with the RecTec they let us borrow for The Gathering love them.  If the small one is anything like the bigun', and there ain't no reason it shouldn't be, you will love it.  From everything I've heard it's the most frugal on pellets of them all.  Dee

Jgk - the Unicorn reference is one that is used to describe an object - and no pictures... They are just teasing you - because we all want to see pictures of the new Mini :D
