What do you guys think? In the market for one and can’t seem to decide which to go with

I have a REC TEC that is better than an older Traegger.
It has a mucher bigger double hopper and a digital thermostat that is calibrated to 5 deg increments.
Both made great ribs and smoked pork, beef etc...

Bought a Camp Chef. Heard nothing but good things.
Haven’t cooked on it yet due to it being damaged when I got it in. To Camp Chef’s credit, it was through another site.

Yoder if you are really serious, Green Mountain if you are on a budget.

Yoder, but it'll cost you. Love mine. Great American craftsmanship.

I have a Green Mountain and have nothing but good things to say about it. If I were to do it again, I may go RecTec though, just for the bigger hopper and it looks nicer.

Ya, it'll cost you in muscle strain trying to move that beast around.
Buddy of mine has one...that thing is badass.

Sorry, I did not mean to down vote you. I was trying to hit the up vote button. I too have a Rec Tec!! In fact, I have 2! One for the house and one for the camp. The best out there and customer service is top notch!

Question about pellet grills. My understanding is a smoke ring is produced in the first 4-5 hours of smoke, and anything more than that can make the bark bitter.
Wouldn't cooking with pellets for 6+ hours "over smoke" the meat?
I have an old brinkman vertical barrel smoker and stop the smoke after 5-6 hours, but would love the convenience of an automated pellet system. I have to reload the coals every 3 hours on the brinkman. Still debating between offset, pellet or kamado.

Pellets burn very clean. I haven’t read anywhere where people complain of too much smoke. In fact, some complain of the opposite.

I did the same and went with Camp Chef. Having a friend doen my street that has one and him showing me the ins and outs of it led me to doing a bunch of research. I’ll be getting my replacement at the end of next week so hopefully I could add some personal cooking details to this thread.
The easy clean out tray at the bottom was a big deciding factor. It having a sear box on the side added to my decision as well.

Love my Traeger Timberline. Made the best pork butt I have ever made on it last weekend.

I was pretty set on getting a Rec-Tec, but the sear box option on the Camp Chef has me reconsidering. I don't currently have a gas grill, but would like to have the option to quickly get a grill up to temp to sear when I sous vide, or just cook some chicken quick since it's just the wife (no pics) and I.
As much as I would love to have a Weber gasser AND a Rec-Tec pellet pooper, I can't justify the price when the Camp Chef kills two birds with one grill.

I bought the camp chef and have used it three times. It's the one with the digital thermometer probe that plugs in the unit. Press the button and it gives you the temp.
It came damaged cosmetically from Amazon but works fine. For 5 Bills it still sucks it was dented.
I've cooked a whole beef tenderloin, ribs, and two whole chickens. The temp probe was right on with the steak and the chicken that I used it on. I mainly run it on high smoke and the sear stuff on my gas grill.
Very happy with the purchase.

Bump
Looking to pick up a pellet grill this weekend. Anyone with a wifi Green Mountain? Not sure the wifi is worth the extra $$$, otherwise it seems like the Camp Chef is the best bang for the buck.

My green mountain puts out plenty of smoke and everything always tastes great. I have a smoke cylinder but never need to use it. Highly recommend green mountain. Great customer service.
