Which brings us to our last point: while quality of life features should not be the first or even second concern, they should be something you watch out for. Neither is more effective, though the latter is certainly more hassle free. Many grills give you ways to do it manually (complex and thorough use of vents and baffles), while others opt for an electronic way of monitoring and controlling heat.
But for it to be a good grill, it also need to hit high temperatures, above 400 degrees Fahrenheit for sure this is important for searing meat like steaks or ribs in their last stage of cooking.Ī good grill will provide ways for you to control these options. Materialsīesides that, the overall performance should be excellent, and this largely refers to heat, both in temperature minimums and maximums and how easy it is to control.Ī good grill and smoker needs to be able to hit relatively cold temperatures (under 200 degrees Fahrenheit around 180 degrees is the ideal) for cold smoking something low and slow for hours on end. See which one is better at temperature monitoring and control.
We wanted to know which is better among the two that’s why we made this comparison REC TEC vs Camp Chef. REC TEC and Camp Chef have relatively the same stainless steel grill construction. The construction in other ways beside the material is just as good, with reinforcements in places lesser grills are often found weak and will usually need replacement parts for within a few years. This material is not only durable but has quite good heat retention, without being a bit TOO good like cast iron or ceramic can be sometimes. Their grills are built tough, made entirely of thick, sturdy 304 stainless steel. Rec Tec grills excel at this above all else, and the attention to detail in their construction is excellent. This not only means sturdy materials, but how well the grill itself is put together. If you're going to be doing a lot of high heat cooking I would recommend picking up some Grill Grates for searing.What Do I Look For in my Rec Tec Grill? Constructionįor any grill, the primary thing you’re looking for is excellent construction. You'll probably need to continue to use the AMNPS. People have different preferences for smoke flavor and it sounds like you like a heavier flavor. I recently tried a smoke tube and I ended up not liking the smoke flavor it put out.
My RecTec puts out good thin blue smoke and most of the time you can barely see it. But for me I realized I was getting mostly bitter, white smoke with the electric. I came from an electric Masterbuilt and going to the pellet smoker took some getting used to. In general, pellet smokers will give you a cleaner, less abrasive smoke. And with the new controller on your 700 I believe the Lo setting feeds the pellets at the lowest rate without maintaining a temp so you'll likely get the most smoke at that setting. Blends have less flavor IMO.Įxtreme Smoke will help some as it lets the pellets smolder between fan cycles. With pellet smokers, the higher the temp the less smoke is produced. The 700 is the replacement but they basically function the same. They had a very light smoke flavor and I didn’t notice much smoke while cooking at 400.Ĭongrats on the purchase! I've had the 680 for about a year. The kabobs took a lot longer than the propane grill, which I assume is since the heat is mostly radiant. I used it for bacon & kabobs after burn in. They need to add more features to bring it up to par with something like GMG’s app. It shows all the temps and plots them over time. The app does what it needs for a first version. Setting up the controller and wifi was easy.
It was higher quality than anything heavy I have ordered, it was really well protected. It arrived a few days ago and I was impressed from the start by the shipping box and packaging. After a week, I gave in and ordered the March shipping RT-700. The RT-590 was the size I wanted but it won’t be released until May. I was about to buy something else when I saw that Rec Tec released a new line with integrated probes and wifi. It cost way more than what I had planned on spending but as I did research and saw things I knew I would value, I kept going up market. After a few months of research here and looking at a few in person, I picked the Rec Tec RT-700. I am a new pellet smoker owner and wanted to share my first impressions and ask a few questions.
