Thanks Greg for your reply.I’ve never owned one, but I did get the chance to play with one at recteq Academy. It’s a very nice grill-if you are happy with your RT-700s, I can’t imagine you would be disappointed with a BFG. Personally, if I needed this capacity I would have a hard time deciding if two RT-1250s at $3,400 total isn’t a better choice than one RT-2500 at $3,000. It all depends on what your needs are with respect to capacity, but I find the ability to run two grills at different temps when needed to be a game changer in how I grill.
A friend of mine is considering the BFG. He asked if the current BFG has the cast iron deflector and dual band WiFi that's in the 1250. I didn't see anything explicit on the RecTeq site. Does anyone know offhand?

I have owned my 2500 for a year now. Here are some honest observations. 1. It is a quality built product top to bottom. That being said I was shocked at the relative lack of smoke. I was an old stick burner used to a fair amt of smoke. You wont get that with this unit. Most every one adds addition smoke generating devices, wood chunks or extra pellet tubes.Greetings,
I'm thinking about getting a BFG. I have owned a few 700's for app. 5 years.
I want to give my 700's to my kids and for convenience i want to get the BFG.
Your thoughts?
Thank you
Absolutely NOT! Smoke generation is a real problem with the BFG. You will find many posts on this forum about techniques to generate enough smoke. So basically, the BFG is just an expensive outdoor oven.Greetings,

I too would get 2 700's. I could cook 2 dishes at different temperatures if needed. Big question is would I need to? I have a 700 and I am very delighted with what I can do with it. Queenie adores me and thinks I have talent. I just own the right tools.I’ve never owned one, but I did get the chance to play with one at recteq Academy.

Now, that’s a SERIOUS brisket cook! Are you doing this commercially, or just feeding a BIG family?I just bought my new BFG because I am tired of trying to juggle 2 or sometime 3 pellet grills to be able to complete a single cook.
I have great hopes that the BFG is going to deliver as advertised.
I cook 120 - 150 pounds of brisket at time and that is only because I don't have any more space to bring my volume up to 200 - 225 pounds at a time.
The advertised 15 briskets at 15 pounds each will get me the 225 pounds that can become my new "targeted" cook weight.
If my new BFG performs as advertised, then I will think about buying a second BFG, not regretting my first.
