Backyard Beast 1200

Great Smoker

I have had all different Pellet Grills about (9 in total) and this so far has knocked my socks off, love it. You have a loyal customer for a long time if you keep building quality smokers. I highly recommend. 5 stars.

The beast lives up to the name.

Coming from a Pitboss, this thing is almost perfect. Let's get my personal nit picks out of the way. So first thing can go up to 700° , more than good for searing. However, it does take alot of time and pellets to do so. Not ideal for me but that isn't a huge issue. I'm used to having an open flame access like the pitboss but again it's a pellet grill and I can live with that. 2nd , you may need an iPhone to link your grill, i have samsung and had to use my work phone to connect it. Rectaq has since updated the app since then so it may work now. Now with the cons out the way, here are the pros. First item, thing is built like a tank. Stainless steel everywhere. Soild as a rock. 2nd item 30lb hopper so plenty of cook-time. 3rd item ; when you are connected to the app, easy to use and very simple. 4th item , 1200sq ft for the price , quailty and build is awesome. Some would say better the sear wood. If you are looking for a beaat of smoker and good grill with plenty of space for a crowd with a 6 YEAR WARRENTY, this is one to highly consider!

My experience

The backyard beast was delivered to my home very well by the driver of the delivery co very well packaged as far as the smoker was concerned the extra package that I brought including the pellets were falling off the top of the packaging of the smoker it self the driver said it was the only complaint he had of anytime he delivered through reqteq I had a traeger which I use regularly mine is a older model your smoker holds its heat so much better and your stainless steel is awesome I have cooked on it a have dozen times wonderful smoke I would recommend it to anyone I do not have photos I am a little older no computer skills
