So, I’ve been eyeing my first RecTeq and I’d pretty much decided on ordering a new RT-340.
Then, someone posted a lightly used RT-680 for sale about 1.5-2 hours away from me.
She sent some pictures and it is in great shape, with maybe just some slight surface rust in a spot or two but the grated and everything else look nearly new. She said it was a gift to her husband several years ago, who used it a few times and then sadly passed.
I could get my hands on the 680 for around $450-500 and of course the 340 is $700 new.
Wifi isn’t a big deal or selling point for me and even I wanted to add it at some point, I can get that module for $200 from RecTeq.
I guess the question is.. is it worth the extra $200-300 to get the newer model (albeit smaller version) or would you grab the 680?
Aren’t the 680 models just powder coated steel versus stainless? Are all 680 models the same?
A little context.. normally I’m cooking for just myself, my wife, and our daughter. But we do have get together sometimes (recently had a get together where I grilled for 11 people). Does the 680 do well for small cooks, since that’s what I’ll be doing 80% of the time?
Thanks in advance!
