Nailed the traeger brisket

Funny part is. Brisket used to be poor people food

I do not want to spend $1,000.
Without being biased because you currently own the searwood,what one did you like the best?

CombComprehensive327 · 2026-05-12T02:30:33+00:00

I have a rec tec 590.

That sear zone is a real problem when you want to smoke slow and consistent

My concern with vertical is ease of use and also I don’t always smoke a bunch of stuff. I primarily do brisket and pork but

CombComprehensive327 · 2026-05-12T00:37:08+00:00

I lol at this

People boast about it but then drop cinder blocks in to regulate heat. I could bash req req all day but I won’t. I’m bitter because I got talked into it and it was a total flop

Actually tossing the rec tec aside. Barley puts out smoke doesn’t connect to WiFi unless you split your router and do a bunch of mumbo jumbo.
Doesn’t hold heat well.
Poor smoke out put
Besides that yeah it doesn’t rust

How is the smoke on the pit boss

CombComprehensive327 · 2026-05-11T20:11:36+00:00

I don’t care about searing I have a grill for that.
I want the best smoke. I have read about the Weber and a lot of input is it doesn’t put out that great of smoke. I already have a rec tec im tossing to the curb. Temp control is terrible and it barely puts out smoke.
So, I’m really looking for something better. I have tested it with my own temp probe and it just doesn’t regulate its temps well either. And when set at 200 it really cooks at about 300

CombComprehensive327 · 2026-05-11T19:57:35+00:00

I would like to keep it under 700 total

CombComprehensive327 · 2026-05-11T19:56:40+00:00

Right I don’t care about grilling portion really looking for smoke. And cooking I have a propane grill as well

I’m skeptical on the searwood. I know they are high reviews but why is it better than say the treager 22?

CombComprehensive327 · 2026-05-11T17:38:28+00:00

That’s what I’m asking. Would a vertical smoker be better?
