The last two Smokers I purchased from RT were discontinued shortly after I bought them. Not very pleased with RT right now.....

I'm with you Smoke. Had ribs on my 1070 Saturday, then rain. Had to set up and ad-hoc umbrella of sorts to keep me cooking. Such a shame. This is my second RT product and I'm really loosing confidence in them. I like the way my 1070 cooks but let's face it we don't cook inside! I guess we...

I absolutely love my 1070!

Somewhat related; I too had a failure over the weekend but it turned out the be the cheap probes that comes with the RT. I need to find something better to replace them with. David

Prep, Times and Temps would be appreciated.

Very nice!

That looks great!

An overnight brisket is absolutely next!
