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.
