when you click and enlarge the photo for viewing you may be struck by the way the smoke reinforces the idea of a bull...with those cool handles and all.

i've checked these out.  its a upgraded traeger.  i loved my lil tex.  the rec tec comes w/ the memphis controller (way better).  the thing holds temps to a tee.  nice big inside.  no opinions that i know of.  the 40 lb hopper is very nice also.  40 lbs of pellets.  you could cook forever.  it is a new unit on the market.  haven't heard any bad things about them.  so thats a good thing.  the owner (i don't know his name) is very nice person from what ppl have told me.  if i didn't own the best pellet grill already i would get one.  love the traeger look to it.  towel rack in the front and just love the bull horn handles.  and w/ the great controller.  i'd get one.  and right now they are selling for $995.  no i don't work for no one.  i just checked this smokers out real good.

I'm a Treager user myself and would have chosen the Rec Tec if were available 3 years ago. The size is more than I need, but Ray, the owner explained that the smaller size pits are just too
hard to properly control temps, which in my experiance is true. Tests have indicated that it has some of the most even temps out there. Warranty is the best in the biz also.

I was at the SOTG Gathering and got hands on the Rec Tec.

Couple things i didnt like were the horn handles. Didint like reaching way up and have the blast of heat hit me.
Side where controls are gets hot. IMHO this would cause the circuit board to heat up causing a malfunction.

Liked the hopper. Has a divider and you can use 2 kinds of pellets that will mix into the auger.

Well, had to grab the bull by the horns. The owner ray is shipping 500 lbs of a special pellet mix for free with my purchase. I like the 6 year warranty. I like the fact that with the rear mounted hopper the auger is shorter putting less strain on the motor. They are offering six months same as cash financing. Should arrive sometime in November. The owner Ray says after it is assembled if I am not impressed with the grill, he will have it picked up on Rec-Tecs dime.........what do I got to lose.

The family likes the grub off the PBC, but they are getting tired of charcoal and wanted me to get a gasser...I think this pellet pooper might keep the natives calm......well gotta get on Craigslist.......the PBC is staying put.

Report back!

That is a helluva warranty..

500 pounds of pellets will churn out a ton of tasty food.

What gauge sheet metal or steel is used in the construction of the cooking chamber?

I had three of them going at the same time at the Fall Gathering. I own a Yoder - and am very happy with it. But - I have to tell you these are nicely made. And while they follow int the style footsteps of the Treager, they are heavier built. Mostly 8 and 10 gauge I think...
The handles are nice looking, and though they got warm - they never became too hot to handle with bare skin. The controllers got warm, but, not hot to the touch. Of course --we were cooking on these grills in a hardcore manner - I think a couple of them barely got any sleep between cooks, and that may have contributed tot he controller area getting warm....
Pellet consumption was pretty decent too - their consumption rate seemed in line with other units I have played on.

Bang for the but - I think it is a very nice value. Price point compared to the sq. inches of grate, heavy duty construction, the Memphis style controller.....Just a really nice pit - that looks good on anybody's deck or patio.

And - these folks were confident enough in their product - and us - to loan us their competition trailer.




You want smoke...


Don's brisket on the Rec-Tec



Boston Butt on the Rec-Tec



 In a world of many choices  - I think these guys are doing a good job.

Oh No!
Smoke & I lamented that we were some of the few non automated cookers left
I was happy Sparky came back to sanity & now Smoke has gone off the deep end !
Seriously smoke I played with the Rec-Tec & T's yoder,
I smoked & seared on the Yoder , unfortunately I only smoked on Rec-Tec.
The yoder I could live with as my only cooker! It smokes well & for grilling is a FLAMETHROWER!
The Rec-Tec smokes great I can't comment on searing as a grill.
Someone may can comment on grilling on it
