Weber gas vs Rectec Pellet

[ttubudd]

My old gas grill is ready to be replaced. We cook on gas during the week for convenience. Have an offset pit, a big green egg, and a weber kettle for weekends depending on what we are cooking.

As I look at grill options, I have narrowed down to 3:

1. Weber Genesis 3 burner
2. Weber Spirit 3 burner
3. Rectec pellet grill

Is the Weber genesis worth the extra $ over the Spirit? Is the rectec good at grilling/searing?

Where is the best deal on weber gas grills? Costco has a pretty nice genesis right now

Weber gas vs Rectec Pellet

I can’t speak to a Weber gas grill as I have only used the charcoal Kettle in the past. I have had my RECTEC; 700 Bull, for about eight months and it’s the best purchase I’ve made in a long time. Great product, great service after the sale and it performs just as advertised. They are really two different pieces of cooking equipment, if you do a lot of high heat cooking then the gas may be the best thing. If you like to do a lot of low and slow cooking and like to use the grill as an oven then the RECTEC is pretty nice.

I love my rectec bullseye, burgers, steaks, but can low and slow like a champ too

Why not compare the Weber pellet to the Rec tec?

I don`t believe the weber pellet is in the same class as the Rec Tec. JMO. I have a weber Genesis S330 and a Rec Tec 590 and would not trade either. They all have their strong points. I have an offset that I do not plan on getting rid of either. I usually only smoke on the Rec Tec at low temps. I use the Weber for burgers and such.

Sounds like you have the smoke stuff handled. Id get another gas grill. I have a pellet and a 3 embers gas grill. Even as easy as the pellet oven is I still use the gas grill more. And yes, ive been more than pleased with the 3 embers from TSC

I have the Weber Genesis SS 3 burner with searing station and the side stations on each side of the grill. It is the best propane grill I have ever owned.

I would not fancy myself a grillmaster by any means but for general grilling I have no complaints.

I would lean this way.

I have been thinking about getting the Cookshack PG500. Seems like the best of both worlds.

I tend to agree here unless you just want to add a pellet one to the toolbox. Between offset, BGE and WK, you can smoke pretty much anything you want. Having a nice gas grill to jump on quickly and grill something is nice. I have your same arsenal minus the BGE and did dinner last night on the Weber Genesis. Have thought about a pellet grill for years now but just can't make myself pull the trigger. Plus the patio is getting full!
