My previous pellet grill was a Traeger Eastwood 22”. I used it for three years. The Traeger was ok, but it never provided enough smoke for my liking. I ended up buying a Recteq RT-1250 last year. I initially loved the RT-1250. It provided the smoke I was looking for, but I quickly ran into problems with recipes that I used with my Traeger. Almost every single recipe took longer to cook on the RT-1250 than it did on my cheap little Traeger. I confirmed more than once during the past year, that the Recteq’s internal temp probe was working properly. I love baby back ribs, but I still struggle getting them up to temp. Briskets are a LONG nightmare. Today I attempted a cook that never took me longer than three hours on my Traeger. The same cook at the same temp took me over four hours. I have no idea why my cooks are taking so much longer, it just doesn’t make sense to this simple brain of mine. I am about to throw in the towel on Recteq. Any suggestions before I give up?
