First smoker - Deck Boss 900

I had cooked brisket a few times on a charcoal grill with added hardwood for smoke. The results were good but I was always exhausted the next day and didn’t really enjoy the food. Cooking without precise feedback control means I am the feedback! I had to get up through the night and check temperature. Not anymore! This Recteq smoker doesn’t require frequent monitoring as did my previous cooks. The brisket was great the next day!

New to Recteq.

I am brand new to Recteq. I was on a Weber pellet Smoke/fire before. The quality of the material on the Recteq is much better. Can’t beat fully stainless steel on the inside. I need to adjust my warmup time thinking. Recteq is much slower to what I am used to. Would also love to see notifications pop-up on the app to I can readily hear that I have gotten to temperature and that fuel is running low as I am used to having available to me. Customer service is great replacing damaged parts from shipping. Ultimately I am positive that I just have a few things to get used too. Looking forward to a really long burn on a pork butt.

Very nice smoker

Rec'd the smoker in short order, well packed. Easy to assemble. Ran hot when first used, adjusted the feed rate, now maintains temps perfectly. Love the WiFi to iphone app. , very easy to use. I added 6 inches to the leg length, the smoker set very low for my liking and my back. I installed a fireplace door 1/8 inch thick gasket around the lift up door. Now smoke does not come from around it any longer. Keeps the front of the smoker clean. I purchased the front shelf, that should be standard, IMHO. Well worth the additional cost. Very happy with the unit, function and price. Would recommend.
