Title: Got a box on the way
Post by: GusRobin on May 08, 2017, 06:51:01 PM
After debating back and forth between a stick burner or a pellet, pulled the trigger and ordered a RecTec 680. Now I sit by the door each day waiting for the truck to arrive.

A wise choice......sitting next to a stick burner for anywhere to 6 hours to 18 hours gets old fast............congrats  :thumbup:

I got my Rec Tec 680 three weeks ago and absolutely love it.  I had a Memphis Pro in a previous life, and it is a great grill also, but I must say I like the Rec Tec better.  Bigger hopper and more smoke.  Enjoy.

So it will arrive sometime today at the local freight line terminal (about 12 miles away). Due to the need to have a lift truck they will not be able to deliver until Monday morning.  Which won't help since I will be out of town until Thursday. So it is set up to be delivered Thursday. Which in hindsight it is not too bad. That way I can clear space on my deck, the mod parts (larger wheels) that I ordered will be here so I only have to put wheels on once, the pellets I ordered will be here, etc. (trying to convince myself).
May take a trip to Restaurant Depot in Nashville this weekend and pick up something good to break it in.

If I go, I'll see what they have and call you from there and you can tell me what you want. But not yet positive that I will go.
