I have owned my rt-340 for about 2-21/2 years now and ever since i passed the 3-4 month ownership period i have had to give this thing more attention than an offset smoker would require. I called in every malfunction (mainly being heat spikes and heat losses) and it seems the companies cust serv has had a dodgy answer for all of the issues and for a period of two tears calling in all of my issues. In these last two years+ when i have called in, the comapny has mentioned that the pellets i am using are the issue and the only reason i was using the current pellets at the time of my issue is because rectec’s website recommended that i do so. I understand pellets can sit too long on shelves, loose or obtain moisture beyond their standards but c’mon. Either way and once again i am dealing with a smoker this weekend that will not hold consistant temps and another expensive peice of meat wasted because this rectec rt340 cannot live up to the hype it was given by the company in the beginning. I need a long term solution for this thing or it will be going to the landfill or some other unlucky person willing to buy on fb marketplace and imma get me an offset and learn the tradition way because i feel like the amount of attention that is needed for this rt340 far out weighs what a traditional offset would demand. I am sick and tired of having to vacuum out and waste pellets from a previous cook and just having to clean this smoker before each and every cook to even get a decent cook out of it. Like i said, i need a permanent solution and quick. I do not wish to get another runaround from rectec on why i am currently not using the right pellets or how i need to be pampering this smoker in some kind of way that i am currently not.
