![]() When they started, they were known as REC TEC but changed their name to all lowercase adding a q recteq, but they are still known with both spellings. They set out to use high quality materials and new technology, and created their brand that are easily identified by the bullhorn handles. This casual pursuit eventually became a massive company that has taken center stage in the pellet smoker industry. Two friends, Cundy and Ray Carnes with a mutual love of all things BBQ, decided to experiment in their garage. REC TEC was created in 2009, a few years after Traeger sold the business, and is an interesting story. ![]() Nowadays, Traeger aren’t manufactured in the USA but have moved over to China where most grills are made before being shipped out worldwide. A comprehensive review of the two top brands in the pellet grill market, comparing their temperature control, range, space, features, and prices. ![]() And, quite rightly so, to this day Traeger remains a high quality distributor and has been busy adding extra features like WiFIRE to their grills to retain their popularity. Despite some issues with quality, they changed their production location overseas, but still Traeger is the most sought after brand for grills. I am looking at the PitBoss Navigator 1150, the CampChef Woodwind 24, or the Rec-tec Rt-580. I would like opinions on them and what yall use. I start digging into the different grills and I read up on Pit Boss, Camp Chef, and RecTec. Today, Traeger remains one of the most popular and respected pellet grill manufacturers. Started looking at pellet smokers and of course Treager comes up, but they are up there in price. So, how do you choose which brand of grill to use and what’s so special about Tragar and REC TEC? Being stuck in the kitchen is isolation for the chef, so using a grill is a great way of integrating everyone whilst creating awesome meals. Using a smoker outside is a social way of cooking and allows the person preparing the food to mingle with guests whilst keeping an eye on food. The next level would be your Yoder ,mak,lone star grillz and pitts and spitts. Your next tier would include traeger (except the top of the line traegers). This enables you to spend more time with guests. Pit boss is an entry level smoker while it has decent features the build quality is also VERY entry level compared to the other two. You don’t need to constantly check on food, just add the pellets, set the temperature and leave it to work its magic. It is thus a perfect choice for anyone looking for a larger hopper capacity. ![]() That means Rec Tec is far much better and, in fact, holds twice the lbs of pellets that Traeger can hold. They offer lots of versatility for cooking as you are able to smoke, braise, and bake your food. Rec Tec can hold 40 lbs of pellets while Traeger holds 18 lbs of pellets. Grills are super easy to use and actually provide more evenly cooked meat than an oven. After the initial investment, using an outside grill is a cost-effective way of providing meals. Cooking outside is the best option for dissipating heat and bringing down fuel costs. The warranty that the grill comes with can serve as a guide to its durability and reliability. During hot weather, the last thing you want is to create extra heat in the house. ![]()
