Getting ready to buy a pellet grill and its down to a traeger or a rec teq. From what ive read the rec teq is better built but i know traeger has a cult like following. Any rec teq owners on here???

Rec tec hands down. I’ve owned four different pellet smokers. Traeger is fine but for the money I’d go rec tec everytime

I have a Green Mountain, don’t waste your money.

My son and my neighbor have the Pit Boss brand ( Menards) they like em, but I’m not a fan.

I have had to replace every part on this POS Green Mountain thingy at least once, the control box 3 times. Once that goes again (usually in the middle of a long pork butt smoke) , I’m throwing it it the trash and purchasing a Recteq.

Rec Teq.

Another vote for RT!

Rec Tec only buy once ..............Had mine for 4 years and never had an issue!

Any more opinions? Looks like recteq is the winner

Love my RecTeq 700. It’s not a direct replacement for a gas grill or wood burning smoker, but I use it more than anything else.

I’ve been using a RecTec Stampede for about 3 years. Bought it when that model first came out. There is no downside as far as I’m concerned. I love it. I’ve used it a lot. Even during the winter. I wish they would come out with a second shelf sized for it. The wifi control from your smartphone is one of the best things about it. Two thermometers and alarms and temp control. I put the brisket on and go to bed. I set an alarm for 170 or so to wrap it in butcher paper and reset the alarm for 203 degrees. It holds temp perfectly.

I have turned a couple of friends onto RecTec and they love them too. I never had a Traeger.
