I have a RecTec for right at a year now and can't say enough good things about it. I also have a gas grill and a Brinkmann charcoal smoker. Each has its purpose. Pellet smokers do not produce the deep rich wood smoke that a wood or charcoal smoker does but does get the job done!
The RecTec has surpassed my expectations. Fill the hopper with pellets, set the temp and cook away. Some great recipes are out there and you can adapt them to your taste. DW was VERY hesitant when I bought this, cost, patio space, electricity, etc. Now, she's in love with it.
I formulated a recipe by mixing other recipes and combining this and that to which I can, via brining (a whole other topic) successfully make a $2.69 a pound pork loin taste like a $.99 a pound ham!
Smoking is fun as well as tasty!
Bottom line – get a pellet grill/smoker! You won't regret it!
