I have a Traeger and love it. I previously had a propane fired smoker and I couldn’t get it to hold temperature. I live in Great Falls and any wind over 20 mph or temperature under 40 and it just wouldn’t work. I do a whole prime rib for Christmas and have never had a problem. I use the smoker all winter and the coldest was -20F and it worked fine.reinell30 said:Can anyone tell me please, what is the best Pellet Smoker Grill to buy? I see Traeger name everywhere. My son really likes the Req Tec RT700. I was going to order it for Christmas but wanted expert advice from all you meat smokers please?

I own a ReqTec RT-700 fully loaded with cold smoke box, competition cart, folding exterior stainless shelf, folding interior shelve and sear grates. Purchased it December of 18 and it’s been flawless. I can hit over 600F with certain brands of pellets and with the wifi app I cAn fire it up from work and monitor temps remotely. Has a huge hopper and can burn over 24 hrs without running out.
I also looked at the Yoder YS-640.
