For clarification, did you mean a horizontal smoker would not work? My RT-700 won't go down to 100° but the vertical should work for that

I appreciate the input although traeger wasn't a part of the discussion. I have an rt700 and love it. To get, or not to get, a verticle was the issue at hand.

Not sure if your question was in regard to the original post but; what I was asking was if it was worth it to add a vertical in addition to a vertical. I have an rt700 and bought a vertical and wanted thoughts on having both. To summarize what I'm hearing, the vertical is better for low and...

I also bought my rt700 2 months before the 1250 was announced. I would have gotten the 1250 given the choice.

I brought it home and my wife rolled her eyes and sarcastically said, "another smoker?". 😁 I've had a few and others and just got the rt700 about 2 months ago. She has a point though...

Definitely, adding to the arsenal was my intention. My worry was just that the rt700 is so good at what it does, I was buying another unit that doesn't perform as well at low and slow. I wanted to keep it all along, just wanted reassurance from others that I want wasting my money.

I have an rt700 and love it but... My brother in law just got a Cuisinart pellet grill with smoker chamber. I'm well aware my Bull is significantly better as a grill but I got a bit jealous with his area for smoking. I don't necessarily want the smoke chamber for the rt700, I was thinking about...

Do you have this cheat sheet in a word doc or anything? Copying and pasting from a phone isn't working right. I appreciate it!

The second rack recteq sells? Any pics of the modded heat deflector? I also bought my 700 less than 3 months ago and would have gotten the 1250 if given the option. The best I can do is modify what I have. Only thing I REALLY want is the pull out second shelf.

Cooked a London Broil on xtreme smoke (low) until it came up to 135. Pulled the "steak" out, set it to full with a grill grate inside. Put the steak back in for about 90 seconds each side on the grill grate. The center is great, even medium with a good smoke ring (Pic) . Dry rubbed with longhorn...

Simple yet effective.

Drips will either run off the drip shield into the barrel or run down into the gasket seal which could divert them as well. I personally think drips will eventually overrun the seal and go down the front because it has to go somewhere. I decided not to seal mine yet and did the shield first...

Drip shield finished product

I have the high temp red RTV ready to apply as soon as I'm happy with it and I've made it look pretty. I'll post pics of it and the upcoming front drip catch once I make it

Thanks! I'm trying to do what's necessary before it gets messy. I also have the stuff to also make a drip edge for the front of the barrel for any grease that happens to get by the inside drip shield. I'm just copying the Grilla accessories because they make so much sense
