Greetings from SW Missouri.
Right off the back, let me say that I don't know anything about smoking. I was in the market for a new gas grill, with plans to purchase a smoker to practice on this summer. After learning about and researching wood pellet grills, I decided maybe that would be a better way to go. Then came the countless hours of research between the companies, my budget, my needs, etc. I was going to go with something like Pit Boss, Camp Chef, or GMG to keep the cost down despite my buddy trying to talk me into a Traeger, and me wishing I could afford a Yoder (or any of the others that are 100% American made). Through the thousands of reviews I read, YouTube videos I watched, and Forums I looked at, the one company I kept coming back to was RT (customer service is the #1 thing I always look at). I knew I would be back to being over my budget; however, today I said screw it and ordered the RT340. I know it may be a little small, but since I only cook for myself and maybe a couple friends if they stop by to have a beer and let me annoy them, so I figured it should be a decent size to start with. I also took into consideration that I was going to be purchasing another grill to take on all my camping trips, so now I won't have to.
With all that boring crap out of the way, I'm super stoked to have finally made this purchase and really looking forward to receiving it and to bugging the crap out of all you guys for help on this journey. I've been reading through this forum for a while and everyone seems super cool and helpful.
Maybe someday I will move the 340 to strictly camping and order the 700 for my house.
