Hello

[Zekedogg]

Hello all, I’m from Pittsburgh and new to Recteq but not smoking. I just bought an RT1250 I’ve currently been smoking meats on a Weber Smokey Mountain. I had just gotten tired of having to be checking temperatures all the time. Looking forward to setting a temperature and walking away till it’s time to spray.
Thanks for your time

Welcome. If steady temps is what you are looking for you’ll be happy. I’ve gotten many a good night’s sleep cooking briskets and pork butts.
Enjoy the 1250 and keep as posted on your cooks.

Welcome to the forum. You will find it filled with tips, advice and the occasional complaint. May your experiences here go well. I also think you are spot on for why we tend to migrate to cookers like the RecTeq. Babysitting is great when you don’t have a choice. But when you do, it is nice to rejoin guests and society as the food takes care of itself. After a gazillion cooks you start to realize the importance of socializing and taking it easy.

Just my thoughts, enjoy your RT1250.

Yes, the babysitting was the major reason I switched to a pellet smoker.
The app is great as well for checking in on the cook.
