Overview

The recteq RT-B380 is a pellet-fueled smoker built in stainless steel, sized at 22.5 x 40 x 36 inches and weighing 70 pounds. recteq is known for pellet grill hardware, and this model carries that fuel type into a smoker-specific build.

At 4.0 stars across 339 ratings, buyer sentiment sits lower than many pellet smokers in this catalog, though no review text is available here to explain why. The stainless steel body and pellet feed system are the two facts the spec sheet confirms.

  • Pellet fuel system
  • Stainless steel construction
  • 22.5 x 40 x 36 in
  • 70 lb

Who it's for

Fits someone who wants pellet-fed smoking without tending charcoal or wood chunks by hand. Less suited to someone who prefers direct wood or charcoal flavor, since pellet systems burn differently.

Strengths and trade-offs

Drawn from this product's published specifications.

What stands out
  • Pellet-fed, no manual fire tending
  • Stainless steel body
What to check first
  • 4.0 average rating trails higher-rated pellet smokers
  • Hopper capacity and insulation details not listed

Performance notes

Pellet fuel systems auger wood pellets into a firebox at a controlled rate, which is what lets a smoker like this hold a set temperature without manual fire tending. Stainless steel construction at 70 pounds points to a build meant to stay outdoors through weather, though the spec sheet does not detail insulation or hopper capacity.
