I have owned a recteq for over 6 years now and I LOVE this grill and this company!! I thought the grill was awesome before but when I did hafta use their customer service.... I was blown away how they reacted to my needs and took care of my issue!! Can’t say enough!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great video Marc! I was on the fence about buying a Rec Tec 700 but you helped persuade me. I would like to say that the small port on the left side of the rec tec is for the probe wires to run through so they don't have to hang out the front :)
I’ve had my Traeger going on 12 years now, replaced the heat probe once and put a digital temp gage first year. Love it. My temperatures stay with 10 degrees depending on outside weather conditions, I cook all year around in the Pacific Northwest.
Got my REC TEC RT700 about 5 months ago. LOVE IT!!..I gave away a gas grill and a small offset. Needed them no more. Have a nice 30" electric Masterbuilt with aux smoker. It will go bye-bye as well. The REC TEC along with my Blackstone 36" griddle does all I need. REC TEC and Blackstone together (along with Sous Vide) do what I need. Looking forward to doing a LOT of outdoor cooking when the weather warms a bit more.
I love that you are practical with your "Vs". It's not "this wins because it holds two more lbs" it's "the job will get done" thanks for this!
Hey Don, thanks for watching! Sorry to take so long to get back to you. I don't know how I missed it, but I'm glad you liked it!
Gotta be impressed by your enthusiasm! Thanks for your guidance in a no BS, no waisted time method.
I got a rec-tec 680 and later got the wifi upgrade and still love it 2 years later!!!!!!
Rec-tec has the best customer service!!!
Have you spoken to traegers team? Also rec tec service department isn’t open half as long as as traegers
Yes they do. I'm glad I sold my traeger. Never looked back one. I have the RT-700
@@BACKALLEYBBQ traegers customer service is god awful. Compared to RecTec next to none. Plus for people who own the grill there is after hours hot lines. I used once for a question and had a 45minute conversation about making great food
@@scubafrost2007 cannot agree with that. My dog chewed my power cord 2 years after I bought my Traeger and they sent me 2 new ones for free after a 5 minute conversation.
@@scubafrost2007i😊
That looks amazing. Love my REC TEC I have a bullseye and a stampede. Amazing machines.
You do have energy !First review I have seen on the Rec-Tec. Looking foward to seeing more. Thanks.
Hey Ron, thanks for watching! Sorry to take so long to get back to you. I don't know how I missed it, but I'm glad you liked it!
Great video... I felt the same with my Traeger but have found my new love with my rec Tec.... by the way. Traeger was sold and now the Traeger family is with Danson which makes Pitboss and Louisiana grills.
i just looked that up, he kicked his gas grill off the deck, made some money and haven't given a poop since :/
I've owned the Rec Tec RT-700 Bull for 3 years...love this smoker
Thanks for watching, Jack! I love mine, too!:-D
Excellent video and thank you! My Firewalker went out today (after about 4 years) & is not fixable, nor are they in business any longer (from what I can tell). So, after several hours of being disappointed to have a great Ribeye tonight, I find myself even more hungry now! For the video & comparison, very happy I watched this one. Gave me better incite to what I have researched online about both companies. I sent email out to them (Rec) & not being a customer, they replied in than 2 hours! Outstanding in my book! The RT 590 will most likely be one I go with over the Pro Series. Thank you!
Hey there, thanks for watching! Sorry to take so long to get back to you. I don't know how I missed it, but I'm glad you like what we do and the RT, too
Im very impressed at how good the video was, your talking was entertaining and to the point! Very enthusiastic, you deserve more views for sure. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for watching and for your kind words! :-D
Super Wow to this review. Getting my Rec Tec. Much appreciated🙏🏽
I bought my Traeger over 20 years ago right from the Traegers in Mt Angel. Yesterday the auger motor went out. Couldn't go wrong with American Made Welded. Now I'm on the search for a new grill. Thanks for putting this video out. It's really got me thinking.
Hey Tyrone, thanks for watching! Sorry to take so long to get back to you. I don't know how I missed it, but I'm glad you like what we do
I have a Rec Tec RT-700. Great smoker. Spot on temp control. A company that is personally invested in every customer. You can’t go wrong with Rec Tec! I’d buy it again if I had to and would recommend it to friends.
Hey Phil, thanks for watching! Sorry to take so long to get back to you. I don't know how I missed it, but I'm glad you like what we do
Thank you for this review!
This video just helped me justify on getting rec-tec as my next smoker! Great video! Keep up the great work! in behalf of the BBQ Community/Family Thank you!
I own a Rec Tec RT 680 best smoker I've ever had, tried the rest... but I'm sticking with the best!!! Rec Tec for life!
Excellent review, thanks for this review, now I know I need go buy the 340!
www.rectecgrills.com/grills or AMAZON
Great review sir, your energy is awsome! Been starting to have issues with my Traeger, will definetely be looking into the Rec Tec.
Thanks for watching, Jeffery! Sorry for the late reply :-D
Great video.....So you know, 304 stainless means "type of stainless" not gauge. There is 304 and 430 series stainless with the 304 being a better quality stainless, more expensive and less chance of rusting out. Gauge is the thickness of the metal...i.e. 14 gauge, 16 gauge, 18 gauge and so on. The lower the number gauge, the thicker the metal. Keep up the great work!
Recently found you on TH-cam...I love your passion and look forward to many more of your videos!
Love my Trail Blazer , 1st cook May 2019 went great. 2nd cook it would not light (Easter weekend) to my surprise customer service answered my message and called me back. After reading error codes they suggested a loose wire from shipping. I unplugged the wire re plugged it in and it has worked flawlessly ever since.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much. I ordered a rec-tec and friends made me doubt my choice. Now I'm more excited then ever.
Guaranteed you won't regret getting a Rec Tec!
I have been researching smokers for several weeks now so that I (hopefully) get one that i am happy with for years to come. I have been going back and forth between pellet smokers and charcoal smokers. After reading MANY reviews of different pellet smokers (a lot of them being Traeger) I was leaning towards charcoal. I spoke to a good friend this morning who has a Rec Tec and he loves it. After watching this video (and hearing my friend's recommendation) I am sold. Rec Tec it is. Thanks for a great video.
Hey Mark, thanks for watching! Sorry to take so long to get back to you. I don't know how I missed it, but I'm glad you like what we do and RT, too
I have with my son in laws Traegers. . But doing alot of research I am buying rectec flagship XL1400. Good luck on your choose
Love my Rec Tec RT 700. Would not consider another. Customer Service is second to none. Perfect cook every time. 40 pound hopper - that is real nice. And have you seen the BFG 2500? Plenty of cook space
They are great, I really am in love...Thanks for watching!
I wish I had bought a Rec Tec each and every day.
I love my RT 700 too. It’s so easy, built very well, great customer service.
Marc. I've seen a few of your vids and you're the most energetic by far. So I did A LOT of research before I purchased a Rec Tech Bull 700. Never had a Trager or any pellet grills/smokers. BGE and a stick burner only. One thing I noticed that you didn't mention is the Rec Tech company has a 6 year warranty and no other pellet grills/smokers have that. Though they are internet sales only, their customer service is absolutely outstanding!
You're right, I gotta remember that. Thanks for watching :-D
Unless you live in Augusta, they have a store
Pat what do you do about displacing your pellets in the hopper so you can change them out?
I have had my Rec Tec since early 2013. It has been great and customer service has been excellent. I recently started it after about 6 weeks of inactivity and it tripped the GFI. I sent an email asking for trouble shooting advice. Within a half hour Ron emailed me that the igniter was bad and was I at the same address as when I purchased it. (A little research told me that is not an unexpected life span for that part.) They sent me a replacement - at no charge - and instructions and I was back smoking. It sits in the South Texas sun since no covers last very long down here and has held up remarkably well. It sat in flood water from Hurricane Harvey for about a week and shows no sign of it. The base of the Weber gas grill next to it disintegrated within a month.
Great video! Super entertaining and personable! Thanks for sharing your passion!
Hey Austin, thanks for watching! Sorry to take so long to get back to you. I don't know how I missed it, but I'm glad you liked it!
I have had my rt-340 for a couple of years now. Absolutely built tough. I live in Texas and it hot and sunny the majority of the time. I keep this on my uncovered patio in direct sun and not even covered and it is holding up great. I cook more in it than I do in my oven these days because it is so easy. For my house, its size is fine as there are only 4 of us. I have had some great cooks on this from Brisket to pizza and pies.
They're really made to last! Thanks again for watching, David! Sorry for the late reply :-D
I love the energy in these videos. It's vantastic. Subscribed
Hey Adrian, thanks for watching! Sorry to take so long to get back to you. I don't know how I missed it, but I'm glad you liked it!
Great review on the two pellet grills. I have an RT-700, and I say Rec Tec is the best. You get more bang for your buck.
Hey Donnel, thanks for watching! Sorry to take so long to get back to you. I don't know how I missed it, but I'm glad you like what we do and RT, too
You can put the Meat probe through the side of the Recteq. You pull the opener and push it through that way you don't loose any heat.
Thanks for the info.
Great review. I have one and love it. FYI.. the hole on the side is not a vent hole. It is for the temp probe wire to go through. There is a little notch so it doesn't pinch the wire.
So I learned...Sorry for getting back to you so late. Thanks for watching, Bradley. See you outback today! :-D
Subscribed! Loved your energy and thoughts on the grills. Def buying a Rec tec once this whole mess is over.
I bought a Rec Tec 680 back in 2017. It has been the BEST investment of my bbq money and time.
You will be thrilled.
Great review Mark I love my RECTEC as well.
I appreciate that! Thanks for watching :-D
I got a RecTec RT-590 a month ago and I LOVE it!! Look forward to seeing more of your vids!
Still loving the 590? I can’t decide between the 590 vs 700
How’s the 590? I debating between the 340 and the 590
@@dotdot7020 I love it!!
I loved your style of review and video. Got a new sub!! Thanks!!
The holes on the side are for you to run your probes through so you don't have to close the wire in the lid.
This is an ad, but not a great one.
That prime rib looks...ehh
My temp probes don’t last long. I must be doing something wrong
Traeger must have watched this video. Just picked up my Traeger. AND. Got a letter. It reaches 550 And I can sear a steak 🥩 and it hold 20lbs of pellets. no problems. So thank you Marc! Keep your videos coming. 👍
Will they upgrade the stainless steal, as well?
Thank you for the video! It was very helpful for a beginner like myself to know which one to choose. I already new I wanted the rec tec, but you helped me realize that was the right decision. One question, What type / flavor pellets do you like? I am struggling to know which ones to get.
Always enjoy your energy in your vids. Been researching for pellet grills now for a while now, I like Req Teq, however, wish they would go lower in Temp. the LO setting hit about 180F, but wish would go down to 160F. Been looking at Camp Chef WoodWind Wifi, Masterbuilt Gravity, RecTeq, and Traeger.
Hi Adam, thanks for watching! I'm partial to recteq and Masterbuilt at this point, but don't have any experience with WoodWind Let me know what you decide See you otuback! :-D
Sweet video I'm glad I haven't pulled the trigger on a smoker yet traeger can kick rocks I'm getting a Rec Tec. Also I dig that pergola a lot. Thanks for the info 👍
Thanks for watching! I love the Rec Tec! Which one did you buy?
Thanks for the video! Very informative...I think I know now which grill to invest in!
Hey Joseph, thanks for watching! Sorry to take so long to get back to you. I don't know how I missed it, but I'm glad you like what we do
Thanks for doing this. This just help me make up my mind on which way to go. RT!
Same here. I was getting ready to order one today. After dealing with customer service I decided to check out Rec Tec so glad I did. Thanks for your video
You will not be disappointed I’ve had my RecTec 680 going on 2.5 years absolutely love it, great great smoker , it does more than just smoke though..
Thank you for doing that in depth of shoot out. Just added the RecTec to the list of 4 I am looking at... so now Im at 5... the clincher that got it on my list was the legs broke down and can tailgate with it. Thanks again.....
Thanks for watching! Yep, that 340 is a great for tail gating and camping... I hope we can do more of that this summer :-D
John K what are you’re other 4?
Yes, build the best grill/smoker, people will be your Ad Campaign and you will sell. Really like your review, I think it helped me decide to buy the RT590, just wish it had a second rack. Solid build, great temp control and them horns, lol ! Oh and here in my family, it's wifey approved, so win win ! Thanks Fam !
I will be buying my first pellet smoker soon and after doing a LOT of research looking at a lot of reviews there is no question about which one I will get.
REC TEC for the WIN!!! Probably the RT700
Good choice, Brad and thanks for watching! :-D
Solid Video, I have the same Rec Tec 340, it's amazing. if I had to do it again, I'd go the next size up. Great cooker and I have seven other BBQ cookers, including a ceramic cooker which I love, and Weber 26" Kettle. It's amazing how easy and versatile a cooker the Rec Tec is. I'm finding it's the cooker I use the most now for weekday night, and long Brisket cooks (that I can start on a Friday night and go to sleep) and finish on Saturday.
why the next step up? I'm torn between the 340 and 590. I know the 340 should work for two people. just not sure if there is something Ill need more room for.
@@kennyscott2866 I would do the 590. It's a nice size. Big enough for a weekend party but not soo big that it takes too long to heat up to temp. The 700 may be more than you need.
Thanks for the awesome videos. My rt 340 comes in tomorrow
Hey Eric, thanks for watching! Sorry to take so long to get back to you. I don't know how I missed it, but I'm glad you like what we do and RT, too
So I get my rec tec on a Friday afternoon and can't wait to smoke. Even though I don't know if I am doing, i fire the thing up and start smoking right away with just 'okay' results. I'm doing something wrong (aside from not reading the instructions) so Friday evening I call rec tec support and hope they will get back with me Monday morning. First thing Saturday morning I get a call!
Your videos are great man, was wondering what your thoughts are on the broilking regal 500 pellet smoker, thanks
Thank you! Excellent video I will be buying a rec tec now.
Hey Michael, thanks for watching! Sorry to take so long to get back to you. I don't know how I missed it, but I'm glad you like what we do and the RT, too
Thank you. Excellent review. Just returned my first pellet smoker, Traeger 575 to Home Depot. Complete faillure out of the box. Bad controller, terrible customer service. They do not stand by their products. While I agree they deserve respect for marketing and technology, the actual smoker(esp. temp control) is a fail. I spoke to Rectec. Their CS agents are sitting in Augusta. They have Georgian accents. They were super helpful and conviced me to buy their smoker. The only downside is I must wait for it to be delivered.
Great review! I am about to head into the garage to unbox the Rec Tec 590! Just delivered yesterday! Cheers!
dude enjoy and welcome to the family. just ordered my second rectec
Gabriel B Thanks! You were right about holding the temps, this thing is rock solid so far!
Gabriel B Still shopping for and comparing grills. Do you need to buy another RT because the grill died or just wanted a 2nd RT? Can’t decide between Grilla or RT 590 or 700.
Awesome review! Between you and my neighbor I am sold on Rec Tec.
Hey Eric, thanks for watching! Sorry to take so long to get back to you. I don't know how I missed it, but I'm glad you like what we do
Hey Marc, great content. I hope you and your family are doing well. I'm curious as to how long the cook was on that 2 bone rib? Thanks!
I've had a rectec three forty grill for 2 years now and love it
Great video! Actually made me feel very good about my Traeger purchase this weekend. Picked up a Pro Series 34 and have loved the first few cooks on it! I know it’s not the best of the best like the RT, but this is my first smoker and I’m just glad to be joining the community! 👍
This was very helpful. Thank you.
Joe Traeger can no longer advertise his likeness after a settlement with now owners of Traeger Grills. I didn't know that Joe Traeger went over to Louisiana Grills. This video made me look into it.
Wow! I am seriously considering a Rec Tec now. I have been eyeing a Masterbuilt 560, thanks for the info, keep up the good work!
They're both great machines...the Rec-Tec is a set and forget machine, tho Thanks for watching!
So is 560
First vid I have seen of yours subbed!!!!!
Wow!! I wish I would have watched this before I bought my Treager. You hit the nail on the head with this video. I like my Treager and does the job, but I think the RecTec would've been a better investment. Awesome video my friend!! Now subscribed 👍
It depends on which Traeger you have. The new Gen 2 Traegers are awesome!
@@ladysterling007 I have the treager pro 575. I really like it, I just wish it had the super smoke function.
Just got my rec tec after a piece of shit Traeger, way better built then the Traeger. A little spendy but I'm sure it'll be worth it in the long run.
Great video thanks for the review man. Definitely helped me make an important decision! Marc, how has the Rec Tec held up in your part of Florida? My parents live in South Florida right on the beach and have had a lot of issues with their Traeger. I live up in Jacksonville and pretty far inland. I just don't want to buy a smoker if the climate is going to ruin it a few years after buying.
Thanks for this, I was ready to purchase the Traeger but your review made me want to do more research.
Glad I could help! See you outback!
I thoroughly enjoyed your bbq commentary 👌👌
Great energy and comparison. Just subbed.
I appreciate that and thanks for watching! :-D
I have the rec tec tailgate grill (340) love it. I am going on 3 maybe 4yrs using the rec tec grill. I had a few questions about the grill after I assembled it. I call rec tec for help Ray Carnes answered the phone! This is the founder or one of the founders of rec tec grills. I thought I would just get an employee when I called. Every time I’ve called to order or need some advice they are always very patient and very helpful.
I just started looking at Rec Tec and ran into this channel.. I watch allot of TH-cam..your doing a solid job man . Subbed

Thanks for watching, Ed! :-D
I was on the fence between a Treager Ironwood and a Rec tec and I will be buying a Rec Tec!! Thank you for the video
Glad I could help!
I see you got it right by the end. The 340 is the smallest and competed against what should have been Traeger vs. 590. It's ok. I own 3 RecTeq Grills. They have changed my cooking game to an extraordinary level!!!
They're great machines, and thanks for watching, Paul! Sorry for the late reply :-D
REC TEC is hands down the best. One thing he forgot to mention is the warranty. REC TEC is 6 years and Traeger is 3 I believe. Correct me if I’m wrong though. I’ve had the RT-700 for a little over the year and worth every dollar I paid for it!
Hey John, thanks for watching! Sorry to take so long to get back to you. I don't know how I missed it, but I'm glad you like what we do and with the RT, too
Great Review! Love the look of the Rec-Tec, most importantly the feed back you provided, makes my decision process easier. Have you ever used Camp Chef SmokPro DLX or made comparison?
I'm trying to get in contact with Camp Chef to see if they want to send a grill. I've used Camp Chef flat top griddles and they're pretty good...so let's see
Thanks for watching, Andrew
@@marcsonthegrill2227 we have a Camp Chef flat top grill, and also a camp chef pro 90 we purchase over 10 years ago for camping. But now that its mostly just my hubby and me, we use the 22 " black stone for our camping trips. Would love to see how well the Woodwind works against Treager and Rec Tech, before i put out that investment.
I have a rt-700 Rec-Tec best grill i have ever bought. I will be getting the new bullseye stainless when it comes out. Rec-tec for life!
Thanks for the video buddy. Awesome. Great product. Great 411. 💪😎 solid. Think i just made my decision to purchase. 😜
Good choice! And thanks for watching! Sorry for the late reply :-D
Great video, man you have a lot of grills
Great video! Actually just bought the Rec Tec 590 yesterday!
How are you liking your 590? I can’t decide between the 590 or the 700.
@@Shovelups I love it! I have a family of 4 and the 590 is the perfect size for us!
I live near the Recteq store and bought the RT-340. As a traditional smoker, I love my recteq. The food is amazing and moist. With the WiFi you can set it and forget it. Control it from your phone
Awesome video!
Dude. I fkn love your channel. Just got myself a new grill. Your vids are awesome
Awesome! Thank you! Sorry for the late reply :-D
Excellent video and exactly the type of review I enjoy watching! Even if it’s not Moto related 😉😎. ✅ subbed
Much appreciated! Thanks for watching! :-D
Good video.........but a couple of important things about RecTec. One is the PID controller. Once you set the temperature it stays within 1 or 2 degrees of what you set it at. Adjustable in 5 degree increments. That hopper......the lid seals out the rain unlike the Traeger. You dont have to to worry about your pellets getting wet. All the hardware is 304 SS on the RecTec. The igniter is ceramic on the RecTec and it will last a very long time. I have had a RecTec for quite a few years and its a fantastic company. Also the quality is amazing and they stand behind their products. You dont see them in stores or big ads or infomercials. Mostly word of mouth advertising and it speaks for itself.
Traeger family sold retreated in mid 2000. They now work for dansons aka pit boss. Since then they went from being made in the pacific north west to China.
Love the t-shirt🥰. Very clever😎
Amazing video! Thanks
Thanks for watching! :-D
Great video as usual thanks again
I really appreciate that!
Thanks for watching :-D
There’s honestly no comparison. I’ve had a Traeger and it always got the job done. Yeah, the temperature swings were frustrating, but manageable. But grilling? Searing? Tough to accomplish. I’ve had an RT-700 now for about two months from Rec Tec and I’m blown away. The build quality, the consistency in holding and accurate temp, and the customer service made it a clear-cut choice for me. So glad I went with Rec Tec. I’ll never look back.
Nice. Thinking about making the switch from Traeger to Rec Tech myself.
Rec Tec also has the absolute best customer service. We were at the fire station about 20 min from their shop and the grill wasn’t working right and they sent someone with a box of parts and fixed it within an hour for free. They also leave a box of parts outside the warehouse in case your grill breaks and no one is there to help you.
Rec-Tec is better by far. Have had several pellet grills and Rec-Tec will be my last. They do have the absolute best customer service. You can tell they are genuine guys with a great product. They stand behind you after the sale. You cannot put a price on that!
Is this a joke? No fuckin way they are that cool?
RECTEC customer service is next to none. The guys that are part of this company are great.
It's true! Thanks for watching! :-D
I wasn't going to add a comment since you did this almost a year ago but I still see guys posting so here it goes. I just got a RT-700 last friday and smoked a 12 lb brisket that night and we were eating it at noon saturday. Awesome smoking machine. I had a Z grill I bought off of Amazon 4 weeks prior and I was not at all happy with it. I did 6 or 7 smokes on it. Fortunately I was able to box it backup and send it back. Got my $400 back and put it towards the amazing Rec Tec. They are night and day different. Like you said Marc, made in the USA and family oriented. I am 59 years old and never once have I gotten the cell phone numbers to the owners of a company that I purchased a product from, not once. I did with Rec Tec. Traeger may have started out American but they are now made in china. Just can't go wrong supporting old fashioned hard work and American values. Go Rec Tec.
Rec Tec is also made in China, everything except the computer at least.
@@BC08 yeah what a huge disappointment when I found that out a few months ago. I have a Yoder Wichita loaded coming middle of September. At least that is made in the states still. Just don’t get the flavor from a pellet grill. You don’t know though if that is all you ever used.
@@ronm8306 I agree, pellet grille flavor is isn’t as good. Better than gas but not on the level of a traditional wood burning smoker
Great video! I live in Florida too, and have been reluctant to spend a lot of money on a grill because everything seems to disintegrate here after just a few brutal summers no matter how expensive it is or how well it seems to be built. Right now I'm looking at having to replace both my dying/dead older Green Mountain Daniel Boone and a rusted-out cheapo Dyna-Glo gas grill, and I'm thinking I might give Rec-Tec a try in place of them both. Can you comment on how your Rec-Tec has held up so far for you? Thanks!
Would love to get one of the Rec Tex’s but finding it hard to source one here in Rep of Ireland
Recteq customer service is fantastic ! The grill is great as well !!
They are at the top of the game! Thanks for watching, Rusty! :-D
Fun video, love your motto and your nailed it when you talk about the way it feels to own a RecTec, we affectionately call it #RecTecLifestyle. 😁
I love both of my Recteqs!! RT700 Bull and RT380 Bullseye!
They're great!!! And thanks for watching, Grant! Sorry for the late reply :-D
Aren't those holes on the sides for the temperature probes, not air flow?
In case no one else has mentioned this, the little swinging door on the left side of the chamber for the Trailblazer is for the meat probes to go through so you don't have to have the wires hanging out of the main door :)
Also, I love my Rec Tec! Welcome to the family Marc!
Yeah, David...I learned that!
