I am a huge fan of my backwoods fatboy charcoal smoker but wanted something I didn't have to babysit and still impart a nice smoke to my meats. I was going to buy a Traeger until I came across Rec-Tec. After doing a little research I pulled the trigger and bought the Bull. It will be delivered Mon. just in time to do a couple quick cooks before our Labor Day weekend end-of-summer-blowout. Cannot wait to test this bad boy out.
