Looking to get a new smoker and like that the 1070 is made for built in and moderately priced for a stainless unit. What say ye with rectec experience.

TIA

ETA...

Again thank you to those that responded. I purchased the RT1070. Being my first pellet I did not realize how loud they can be but I like it so far. Yesterday was my third cook. Pics below.



RT1070 with cart.


8.36 Prime Brisket from Costco trimmed 2 lbs of fat off. Used L&P to coat and help bind. Oak Grove Smokehouse seasoning with extra S & P and Trader Joes Smoked Paprika.


Trimmed and seasoned.


Checking in from the golf course using the RecTec app.


Pulled off after about 9 hours.


Sliced ready to eat.

I've got the 700 and absolutely love it. The thing is built like a tank. I see a lot of people pimping Traegers, but whenever I've looked at them in the store, they a built so flimsy compared to my RecTec, I just don't understand the love for those things.

No experience with the 1070, but I like that it can be built in and would expect it to be of the same quality as their other products.

I've got the RT-590 and love it. built like a tank, has lived up to the hype my coworker told me regarding the brand (he owns the 700). It's been everything I've read/heard about them.

I have a RT-700. Best grill on the market. I believe the 1070 is a built in version of the 700. You will not regret buying one.

I’ve had a 590 for almost 3 years. No problems so far.

340 for years now no complaints. They didn't make the 380 when I bought mine, would probably go that route now.

The 380 interest me. What are the pro and cons of the round grill vs the rectangular?

I use the 590 for long cooks but the 380 can do that to.

I use the 380 every week and have these craycort add-ones since any 22 inch weber 3rd party works
Cast iron

Stainless steel flattop
