The Egg ran basically 24 hours non-stop and there's still fuel left for another cookout. Now.when we did the Cen Tex Que and Brew event, I loaded up the Egg with lump charcoal and hickory chunks, did an all-night cook, then the next day did 3 racks of ribs. I know that it'll somewhat depend on the chosen level of smoke you set it to run at but I'm at a total loss on this. Out of all the reading I've done though, there has been no mention of how long a load of pellets will last. Oh well.I know I'll most likely get one at some point regardless of the justification. The package I'm looking at will knock a big hole in $2K and that's a big pill to swallow for something I'm having a hard time justifying. If it was a $500 cooker, it'd be here already. For a lot of folks though, though the set-it-and-forget-it aspect would be a Godsend if they have a different lifestyle and don't have the time that I have. Big Bob Gibson gets the credit for making this white sauce in his restaurant in Decatur, Alabama. This white sauce is very popular in Alabama but now has a strong following all over the US. I however am very fortunate to have time available to man a pit or other cooker and honestly don't have a need for the controls the RT offers.but I still want one In my estimation the controller kinda takes away from some of the artistry of making great food, managing the fire, and keeping track of the time. On the Rec Tec Bullseye grill, we will be cooking chicken wings and making a special Alabama white BBQ Sauce. The only thing it offers that I don't already have is the very accurate time and temp controls. Well, Tracy gave me the green light a couple weeks ago to buy the RT 700 and I'm just having a fight with myself whether or not to pull the trigger. I decided on the SM though after reading so many amazing threads here. When I got the Santa Maria a few months ago it was a toss up between that and the RT 700. I really wish you had not written this I've been on the fence for months whether or not to buy one. It's just hard to justify with all the other cookers I have but it being your only one, for now at least, I can certainly see your dilemma Gerald. That's what is pushing me toward going ahead and pulling the trigger on getting one. I've been doing a ton of research on the RT 700 Bull and have read nothing but rave reviews about it. Not sure how high the temp with the sear box goes but my understanding is that it's primarily for steaks. Now.the flip side is that Rec Tec has some packages available that include a sear box and a bunch of other goodies. If you have time available to manage the Egg, stick with that would be my suggestion. The beauty of a pellet grill is that you can toss a piece of meat on it in the morning, program the grill with your phone, and come home to a great meal. Folks are turning out some world class food with the pellet grills but there's no beating an Egg (no pun intended). I guess a lot has to do with your lifestyle and how much time you have available to cook.
