New RT-700 - Pellet rookie

Postby roaniecowpony » Sun Dec 22, 2019 12:30 am

It's been a while since I hung around here. Still been smokin meats, mostly on my Bubba Kegs (metal komado) and some on my offset when space is an issue.

I've been lusting after a RecTec for 10 years or so. I've dropped the hints to the wife during holidays and birthdays, but she let it roll off. Last spring, she retired and I had the duty to cater the meats for 100+ people at her retirement party. I discovered my Keg had rusted thru in some small areas and dropped more hints. But I had a spare Keg new-in-the-box in the garage and finally pulled it out after almost 10 years of being in there. I had three smokers going for that job.

A couple weeks ago, my bbq meats came up during dinner at a restaurant with one of her friends, who also has had parties I've catered. I told them both that I'm ready for my RecTec now, and that they both would benefit from me getting one. LOL. :deadhorse:

Well, it finally worked. My wife came home and told me to get on the RecTec site and order one. When I started browsing the various packages (she has a weakness, she's a package deal person), she chose one of larger packages, then I pointed out the big wheels on the Competition Cart base. She jumped up to the full banana Platinum package. :cheers: :rose: :santa:

It came a few days ago and I assembled it right away.


Today was the first time I had enough time to run it. I did a 400F burn-in, then put some pork Kielbasa links for 3+ hrs @ 200F in there. Nice smoke profile.

Thanks Tom. My first wife is a gem. After 34 years, I think I'm gonna go ahead and keep her.

I'm looking forward to learning this machine.

More than ever! I think the Rectec is a very nice product.
