RECTEQ decided to do what no one else had done up to this time and make it hold an absolute exact temperature. Most pellet smokers maintain a heat range and while this works just fine, it is a source of contention for many. This is where a lot of people are going to get very excited.

The ceramic ignitor is the longest lasting ignition system for pellet smokers on the market. The ignitor is made of ceramic unlike most other ignitors on other brands of pellet smokers which are made of steel. The burn pot is stainless steel like much of the rest of the smoker so it's very heavy duty and built to last. The fact that they are split into (2) pieces means they will fit into most dishwashers if you really want to get them cleaned up.Īn interior light with a on/off switch on the controller makes it easy to see what you are cooking at night and the heavy duty glass cover over the bulb is dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. The ¼ inch stainless steel rod cooking grates are very heavy duty as well and makes them easy to keep clean. At approximately 36 inches wide and 20 inches front to back, the cooking area is more than enough to cook for a large crowd. The Cooking ChamberĪll stainless steel, sealed seams and extremely heavy duty says it all. The stainless steel lid on the hopper makes a great place to sit foil pans to keep the food warm as well. The hopper being on the back allows for a shorter distance to move the pellets from the hopper to the burn pot. This thing is on the very back of the unit and it's huge! It holds 40 lbs of pellets which means you'll not need to fill it up very often and you can run it for a day and a half without adding more fuel.

It took me a couple of hours to install the chimney, front bull horn handles, controller, and legs and hoist it to an upright position– of course I was stopping a lot to take pictures of the process.īut when it was finished, it was a beautiful sight to behold!ĬHECK LATEST PRICE The Main Features of this REC TEQ Pellet Grill The BIG Pellet Hopper I assume this is to prevent heat loss and leaking. I was also impressed that all of the seams inside the smoke chamber were sealed with some sort of heavy grade caulk or sealant. I do recommend having a buddy helping if possible.Īs I took each piece out of the box I immediately noticed the quality of the materials used to manufacture this unit. It took me a while to get everything unboxed but then I was working alone that day and in spite of the instructions telling me it was best to have (2) people to assemble it, I was able to do it by myself using some of my engineering skills to lift the body of the smoker up onto the frame. I also received several bags of pellets, a stainless steel shelf for the front and a heavy duty cover to protect it from the elements when not in use. Mine was delivered by a freight truck and the huge box was strapped down to a pallet. The Main Features of this REC TEQ Pellet Grill.
