After looking for the last 18 months, Was going to order the 590 but ended up getting the 700 and giving the 340 bonus to my FIL for his anniversary/retirement. Couple things I have been pleased w/....maybe even pleasantly surprised.
1] I called Recteq several time with dumb questions of indecision and minutia. The CS is living up to its legendary reputation so far. Patient, detailed, and helpful.
2] I ordered last Thursday 11/11, I live in Nebraska and they told me it would be here in about 2 weeks....I was disappointed w/ that but understood. It showed up yesterday morning!
3] While I haven't completely unboxed yet, it Seems I dodged the damaged packaging bug some complain about.
I watched the RT-700 assembly video & my lava lock gasket and smoke tube are arriving today. Will be doing the burn in and Chix thighs for dinner.
Any other suggestions for a first time pellet grill/rt-700 owner?
Background: I have a weber genesis I have used weekly+ for 9 years & I have a couple years of smoking experience w/ my 22" WSM(which I love) but looking fwd to the ease of use...hoping flavor doesn't drop off too much!
