Awesome shanny. Keep us posted on delivery and setup.

I hope someone will test how low the smoker temp will go on the new controller with the Lo setting.  It would be great if the pit can go below 180.

Great to hear some folks are receiving their new RT 700s. Mine should ship next week they told me, cant wait.
I also ordered the smoker box and the Comp cart. I cant wait to experiment with it. I better start looking for deals on meat...

Have a Grillin Good Day.

I almost ordered the comp cart but my hubby said he would put better wheels on it.  We will be pushing it around on gravel so bigger wheels are definitely needed.  The comp cart looks so sharp though!

Got mine all set up, here is the first cook...been a Traeger guy for 16 years. The RecTec seems way better built and the controller is awesome.
here is a few pics. [ Invalid Attachment ]

Great pics, SmokeFan!  The controller looks amazing.  Congrats!

I'm still sitting here waiting for UPS to call me.

Nice!  I like all that stainless steel.

Have you measured how low the temp goes on the Lo setting? 

I will try that tonight and post back tomorrow for ya'll.

Congrats on a fine pit. 

Thanks,

WOW, does that machine look good. I cant wait....
Great looking ribs too.
 TICK TOCK TICK TOCK...

That's a nice looking pit! Wonder how long does it take to get up to the hottest temp.

Here is some pics of Lo temp / 200 Temp and Full. With Low temp the fan cycles on and off every 4 seconds or so to keep temp down.
200 Temp seems to do the same once it reaches 200. high temp took approx 12 min to get from 250 to 496, it did get to 500 after 3 more minutes or so.
did this to try the sear plates. Hope this helps.
Note; Also when I opened the lid to wrap the ribs and after the ribs were wrapped and put back into the smoker, I went into the house and when I returned the fan was cycling and the temp was 272 it was set on 250. so I figure when I opened the lid the controller was trying to keep temp and when I closed the lid it over shot the temp and the cycling of the fan was to bring the temp back to 250. Which it did in 5 minutes.

So far this thing is flawless

Sounds like it works RecTec nailed it pretty good on this smoker.

The new controller looks amazing!  So excited!
