    the mfg has a recipe page, as do every other smoker out there. When in doubt, do a search on what you want to cook.

    Nice. Where did you buy it from, if you don't mind me asking?

    Hey does anyone have any experience/opinions on the Masterbuilt charcoal grill/smoker units?

    They have a hopper and electronic controls similar to the pellet smokers.

    I started looking at those. Looking to upgrade from a Masterbuilt dual fuel cabinet smoker. I stopped when I saw they didn't get low enough for fish and such and the somewhat awkward way you have to add wood to get smoke. There was also something about the thing that made me think I'd just regret it. I'd love to hear from someone who actually has one, though.
    The "k" is silent.

    In any case, I've used mine hard since then and just this year I've had to replace the heater element. That's the only issue I've had. GMG has an insulating blanket for the top. Since I've gotten that my winter pellet usage has gone way, way down.

    I don't think pellet smokers produce the best smoked meats, but the ease of use sure outweighs the fact you're not going to win any awards with one. Everything is still damn good.

    Plus, with the high temps pellet smokers can produce, they sure make awesome pizzas. Get a pizza stone and you won't regret it.
    I had a green mountain for 2 years. Had to replace the control board 3 times and 2 heating elements. After installing the 3rd control board their server was very flakey and kept losing my connection. I gave up and went Recteq. I LOVE the ability to start my grill from anywhere. Get it all heated up on my way hike and it?s ready to cook when I get there.

    In counterpoint, I've had my GMG Davy Crockett for a good 5 or 6 years (been so long, I can't remember when I bought it). I had to replace the control board exactly once -- about 2 months after I bought it. Haven't had a problem since then.

    Buy Once Cry once and enjoy smoking rather than fighting with it.

The recteq is a superior piece of equipment over camps chef, Louisiana, Traeger and anything else under its price range. By a long shot. Reliability, durability, and just a better piece of equipment.
