![]() And, the Ironwood and Timberline series have the extra Turbo Temp feature which bumps the temperature up faster again if you’ve opened the lid, a nice bonus feature.īut, if you do want the ultimate in terms of temperature control, Rec Tec’s PID style controller is even more advanced. Most of Traeger’s range use a Pro D2 Controller to stick within +/-15☏ of your desired temperature. Reliably maintaining the target temperature is another area where Traeger and Rec Tec do both perform strongly. ![]() But, we do love that all of Rec Tec’s range feature stainless steel for durability where it really matters – REC TEC. The bottom line – You get great quality with both Rec Tec and Traeger. If you live somewhere cold, you’ll want to grab a blanket for the Traeger Pro series anyway. But, there’s an insulation blanket for the RT-700. Unlike some Traeger’s, they’re not insulated. At the time of writing this, they’re using about 20% stainless including stainless steel grates, firepots, heat deflectors and drip pans. With recteq, you get stainless steel components from the get-go. Plenty of high-quality options to suit different budgets. And, their top of the line Timberline offers upgraded stainless steel grates and a fully insulated, double-walled barrel with stainless steel interior. The mid-range Ironwood has double side wall insulation for better heat retention. Traeger’s pellet grills are built from powder-coated steel with porcelain-coated grates. You’ve got heavy-duty components, good welds and a tight fit creating a solid smoker that holds heat and smoke well.īut, there is a bit of a difference in terms of the materials used. With both Traeger and Rec Tec, you can expect a high quality build. High-quality and reliable, Traeger have been adding newer features like WiFIRE to their grills to maintain their top of the line image.Īlthough they were originally manufactured in the US, Traeger are now made in China like most competing pellet smoker brands.

Now, Traeger are still one of the most popular pellet grill manufacturers. This helped fuel innovation and price competition as more features were added to the original pellet grill concept. And, knowing he’d come up with something revolutionary, he patented the idea in 1986, giving Traeger exclusive rights to manufacture and sell pellet smokers to the world for the next 20 years.ĭuring this time, Traeger really established themselves as THE pellet grill company, building a reputation of quality, reliability and the best results in town.īut, once their patent expired in 2006, Joe sold his family business, Traeger, and other companies started competing in the lucrative pellet smoker industry.
