Anyone hear of Rec Tec Pellet Poopers

[smokeasaurus]

Don't you worry my smokey charcoal brother!! My Kingsford aint going anywhere and neither is my PBC!! The pellet pooper is going to be at my parents for their week-day meals. I will use it mostly on the weekends for the food for my gal. She compains about "Repeatin" all night after eating BBQ....if we hadn't been together for 20 years I would send her packin!! 
My folks liked the notion that some people comment that pellet grills don't churn out smokey enough flavored food so this should make them happy while I eat my grub off of charcoal!!

I think your folks will enjoy the ease of use and wonderful moist cooks of a pellet pooper! Also nice to have the use of an outdoor oven with the summer temps you get down there.

Yup!! I will make sure the hopper is full...I figure at 40 lbs it wont need filling too often!! This will be a safe grill to use with no lifting of heavy bags and hardly any clean up!! I will have to wait patiently    until the weekend for me and Smoochy to get our mits on it!!

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

It is just my guess John - but I think if you added Grill Grates to the Rec-Tec, you could sear nicely. The contoller goes up to 500F....

Well congrats Smoke! Welcome to the Darkside

Pulled the plug on the Rec-Tec..little too much sticker shock for my parents and me. Going with a Green Mountain Grill from Simi Pellet Grills. We feel better having a dealer just minutes away and he delivers so we will save bucks on pellet deliveries over the long haul.............

[sparky]

my 1st pellet grill was a green mountain.  they have alot of good features to them.  big tall insides to them.  no stainless lid.  power coat doesn't show bbq sauce.

Congrats Smoke. Post some pics when you can.

Smoke since most people grill more often than they smoke talk to someone who uses the cooker to grill.

I think the GMG will be good for my parents if used during the week when I aint there..........just remove a sheet of foil from the drip pan and flip a switch........during the weekend the Kingsford will be lit!!

I used two of the Rec-Tec grills at the smoke out and really liked them.  Don't let anyone know I didn't use INFRARED on these 

Just click on the pictures for better views

The Rec-Tec and the GMG are no different - as for use ( foil the pan and go ) smoke... but the GMG is kind of "lightly" built - whereas the Rec-Tec is heavy built. The build quality - without offense to any GMG owners here - is a lot heavier on the Rec-Tec.
And...the Rec-Tec controller is....well you have seen some of muebe's fine cooking ....The Rec-Tec uses the same controller that the Memphis grill uses......

BUt - It is nice to have a dealer nearby...Does he stock parts for the GMG?

[smokeasaurus]

Yes he does. He would probably swing by to help with any part issues if for some reason I couldn't figure it out!! I feel more comfortable getting the Green Mountain Grill from Eric because he is close-by and his customer service is second to none. For example, he has dropped off his own personal grill to a customers for them to use while he got their grill repaired...how cool is that!!

[teesquare]

WOW...looks you have everybody contributing advice on your decision!

Either one will make you happy Smoke. And...there is a strong following on the West Coast for the GMG - and they have developed their dealer network heavily out west.

Yeah, this guy is a 20 minute drive away and he has a large stock of pellets which was one of my biggest fears because as you all know...I know where to get Kingsford at!!    but don't have a clue as to where to get the pellets. His site shows GMG, Cookin Pellets and Lumber Jack. Got me some learning to do...........
