Unless you go super high end, I'd pick up the Louisiana Grills vertical pellet smoker you can pick up at Costco for ~$450. I prefer it to the Rec Tec in just about every way. More capacity, more pellet capacity, etc...

I plan on using this guy until it craps out and then maybe investing in a Memphis

I do not own one, but have heard good things about Masterbilt Gravity Series. It has the temp control (uses a fan) of the pellet grill, but uses charcoal/wood chunks, so you get the flavor of a stick burner.

It has wifi, gets up to 700 degrees for searing, and costs less than $500.

Will it fit a big brisket? Do you put drip pans between different food types if you don't want them to dripon/baste whats under it?

I saw that grill at Costco last night.. been talking to the wife about pellet grills and she asked it I wanted to get that one.. I said I was thinking about the Rec Tec..

What are some of the features of the Louisiana Grill that you like? I know you brought up cooking and pellet capacity, but does it hold temp like the Rec Tec and does it offer a wifi app for controls, and does it have it's own plug in meat probes? I sort of like that about the Rec Tec.

Thanks.
