Been researching pellet grills until my eyes started bleeding, looking hard at the 590.

I have had experience with only 2 manufacturers, so while I may not have any sage advice, I will share what I have. The two I have owned Traeger Silverton 620 (Costco exclusive?) and the Rec Teq 590. The Traeger started having issues after a month or so, and after many iterations with their service department, they basically said that I needed to trade up to a "better" Traeger model, and the Silverton has a lot of issues. My wife and I looked all over for a better model locally, but could not find any. I had a Timberline in my cart online, and on a whim I clicked on a comparison ad. Long story short, I chose the RT-590, and my only real regret is not going for the RT-700! (just kidding, I LOVE my Stampede) Keeps WAY better temperature than the Traeger ever did. (better than my internal oven in fact) Customer Service has been great, but I mostly call them with dumb questions, no real issues. (one horn was scratched upon delivery, they sent a new one no questions asked) My experience has been fantastic. Good luck with what ever you choose!

I've had a 590 since Feb. and love it. Empty nester, but we've had 5 other people for dinner and it was more that adequate.
