My old friend started with 2 Traeger pellet grills over 15 years time, he now has Rec Tec, they were local Georgia boys inventing in their garage. It has stainless barrel, an incredible controller( kept my 590 exactly on temp in 43 degree weather with an honest 25 mph. wind), has 2 temp probes for the meat,temp readout for the chamber, and , as mentioned a big hopper. You can adjust smoke amount or put a simple smoke tube in. I have pretty much mastered Texas Brisket cooking on it. It was a 14 hour low temp smoke, started it at night, went to bed, slept( no tending fire all night), too old to do that as it was always accompanied by libations. I picked mine up, they assembled it free, threw in couple bags of pellets , loaded it, couldn’t have been nicer folks. I’ve smoked everything from Cornish hens to pork shoulder to brisket, lamb, and thanksgiving turkey, it works. Sorry for such a lengthy post.
Did you drive to Evans Georgia to pick it up
