Camp chef vs pit boss vs z grill pellet smoker

All these seem to be in same price range on Walmart and amazon. Anyone own these and can offer a pro/con? Any recommendations on sq inches? I need enough space for three racks of ribs at once.

I have a Traeger Pro 22
It has 418 Sq inches of cooking space on the main rack and a top shelf 164 Sq inches.
I can put 3 on the main rack no problem. I just get the Sam’s 3 pack and actually did some Saturday.
I don’t know much about the ones you listed, but I think any will work fine to be honest. Might be a feature or two difference or quality of material used.
I will also alternate between my 22 and my Kamado. I do like the ribs from the Kamado a little better, but the 22 is quite convenient.
Let us know what you got.

On Amazon doesn't it offer you comparisons of similar items if you scroll down far enough? I'd look at that. Also, www.amazingribs.com has a section on pellet smokers. Maybe check there.
I haven't heard good things about the first two you listed and never heard of the third. But my Pops always said, you get what you pay for.

Get a Rec Tec Stampede. It can easily fit three racks of ribs with 590 sq. inches. It costs a bit more than the others, but the quality is much better.

And burns a lot less pellets for this reason

I've read pellet smokers don't put out enough smoke and you often have to supplement with something like a tube smoker.

Fat fingered a downvote on Rec Tec Stampede by accident. Bought mine 3 months ago and don't regret at all.
All cooking under 250 degrees has thrown plenty smoke. No need to supplement with smoke tube.

Rec Tec is a very nice unit.
I think the poster may be referring to higher temp on the pellet units don’t emit as much smoke, which is accurate. At least it is true for mine.

My camp chef has been good to me. Dependent on the size you get it will fit the ribs you want.
I went with camp chef for 2 reasons...the ash clean out and the pellet cleanout. It also has a slide away plate to get direct heat but I have not tried that. I bought the pellet grill because I wanted something to cook with dont have to baby.
I have been completely happy. Check Dicks Sporting good...they ran a 50% off sale recently. For that...I can overlook their gun policy
