You will absolutely not regret your decision to buy the Stampede,unless of course if you are feeding an army. Couple years ago went to have BBQ at a house with a RecTec Bull . We had brisket. Kicked A$$. I just got my Stampede about a month ago and since going RecTec my 3 Kamados and electric smoker have been Idle .

First of all, I'd never try to feed an army cause I was in the Navy. Second. I too have used a MES electric for about 4 years and from what I've seen of the stampede so far...I'm already looking for a spot to store the MES. THANKS.

When I got drafted in 1968 we always heard "The Navy gets the gravy but the Army gets the beans" .
My MES 30 basically turned into my dedicated cold smoker when I went Kamado .
I feel guilty now that I'm using the RecTec. Real good BBQ has become way too easy.

Well, I was rotating back from a little jungle visit in late '68 with the Air Force...………….You're correct about those Navy guys......……..

As for the kamado, we did pizza tonight and I still prefer the kamado over the Stampede. I tried, but it's a temp thing, the best I could do with the RT was mid 500s, but today I had the KJ getting the stone up to 750-800. Just can't get there with pellets. For most other things bbq though it's tough to beat the RT.

I do have to agree . I Can't beat my large Egg to get a nice OO flour pizza crust crispy .
Hitched some rides with those Navy PBR's going up the Saigon river to the Cambodian boarder. They always had Igloo coolers with some nice water . That was uptown for us Grunts . My dog liked it too.
