We usually recall Joe Traeger—the man who invented the pellet grill—whenever we think of the best pellet grill on the market today. Joe Traeger, in his desire to develop a good grill, started the Traeger Grills and in 1985, he was able to device the first pellet grill. At present, however, there are myriads of pellet grills on the market today.

Two of the most popular pellet grill brands at present are the Yoder and REC TEC. Yoder Smokers Inc. is the company behind the outstanding Yoder pellet grills. It has already rolled out a series of Yodel pellet grills that include the YS489s, YS489s COMPETITION, YS640s, YS640s COMPETITION, YS1500s, and CIMARRONs Competition.

On the other hand, REC TEC was established by Ray Carnes and Ron Cundy in their desire to develop the best pellet grills. REC TEC has already rolled out several pellet grills like those of the Bull RT-700, Stampede RT-590 Wood pellet grill, Trailblazer RT-340, BFG RT-2500.

Which Offers the Best Pellet Grill: Yoder or REC TEC?

We’ve spent several hours testing the different pellet grill models of both brands. We’ve also read customers and experts’ reviews online to figure out the pros and cons concomitant with each pellet grill model of these two brands. Moreover, we’ve also used the following criteria of Design, Ease of Assembly, Ease of Cleaning, Affordability, and Warranty to figure out the merits of each of these two competing brands:

1. Design

Yoder pellet grills’ designs, of course, are great and well-thought of. Yoder pellet grills also have larger and expandable cooking areas. The Yoder YS640, for example, has a cooking space area of 640 square inches that is expandable to 1,000 square inches with 20-pound capacity side-mounted pellet hopper.

The body of Yoder Grills is made of heavy steel much like the body of other smokers. Yoder’s grills also feature chrome-plated steel rod grates, powder-coated steel constructions, with single layer lid that comes with a counterbalance.

They also have an internal baffle for readily adjusting heat and airflow. Moreover, they come with myriads of accessories and upgrades. Yoder’s grills’ software also comes with upgrades occasionally.

REC TEC’s pellet grills, on the other hand, offer a large cooking area likewise. The RT-680, for example, has a total cooking area of 702 square inches, with 40-pound capacity pellet hopper. REC TEC pellet grills are made of obviously thick and well-fashioned steel. Their designs, off course, are pretty good and stylish.

The RT-700, for example, is a game-changer when it comes to design. It has a cooking chamber that is entirely made of stainless steel. It is also wifi-ready which means you can control your cooking even from afar. Moreover, it comes with a very useful internal lighting system.

Both brands, of course, offer great designs. Hence, the grills of both brands are highly sought-after by consumers who want to experience having a pellet grill at home.

2. Ease of Assembly and Use

The YS489s, YS489s COMPETITION, YS640s, YS640s COMPETITION, YS1500s, and CIMARRONs Competition are also easy to use and they are pretty much pre-assembled out-of-the-box. Moreover, they are equipped with electronic controllers. You only need to press the start button of Yoder’s grills, and you will be off grilling.

Furthermore, you simply need to set their temperature and they automatically function. You can run a Yoder’s grill all night without you having to do anything as long as you have set their temperature accordingly.

The REC TEC Bull RT-700, Stampede RT-590 Wood pellet grill, Trailblazer RT-340, BFG RT-2500, on the other hand, are equipped with an electronic controller likewise. Just like those of the Yoder’s, you simply need to press the start button and then configure the controller to the desired temperature and the abovementioned grills would be working on their own.

3. Ease of Cleaning and maintenance

Yoder Pellet Grills are quite easy to clean. All you need to do is use a shop-vac to remove dirt from the firepit and the ashpan. Moreover, they are also easy to maintain. The outer parts of the Yoder grills sometimes exhibit rusting sometimes. Yoder’s people are aware of this, and thus, in the Yoder package, they included a Yoder smoker satin-black high-performance spray paint.

Moreover, you can use a citrus safe to clean all the external gunk off the grill. You can also use 120-grade sandpaper to remove gunk from its surface.

The REC TEC pellet grills like that of RT-680 is easy to clean. You simply need to remove the main cooking grill and then use a scraper to clean the drip tray. Afterward, you can use a paper towel to wipe all the dirt from the drip tray.

Once clean, you can remove the drip tray and the stainless-steel heat deflector. Underneath the heat deflector is the stainless-steel fire pot. You can also use a shop-vac to vacuum the ashes.

4. Affordability

The Yoder Pellet Grills appear to be better built than that of the REC TEC. However, they also come with higher price tags than those of the REC TEC Pellet Grills.

5. Warranty

The Yoder pellet grills, like that of the YS-640s, come with a 10-year warranty on the grill’s body and a 3-year warranty on its control system and igniter. The REC TEC pellet grills, on the other hand, come with a 2-year warranty. Moreover, it comes with a 30-day no question asked return policy.

Pros:

Yoder Grills

• The good thing about the Yoder Pellet Grills is that they are known to be capable of high-temperature direct grilling.
• They are also known for controllers that are capable of precision control.
• Lastly, they afford you a large cooking area.

REC TEC

• REC TEC Grills are capable of large cooking capacity likewise.
• They are also known for their great precision temperature controller.
• Moreover, they have a large hopper capacity.

Cons:

Yoder Pellet Grills

• Many customers notice that Yoder has limited heat retention.
• The body of Yoder grills is also susceptible to rust.

REC TEC

• It doesn’t have pellet hopper release.
• The fire pot is not removable for cleaning.

Conclusion:

If you are looking for the best pellet grill, you should not look further beyond the Yoder and REC TEC brands. These two brands surely have the best pellet grills on the market today. The designs of these pellet grills are continuously innovating. Moreover, both Yoder and REC TEC offer a wide variety of pellet grills to choose from.

When it comes to ease of use and cleaning, the grills of both brands offer quick cleaning features. The grills of both brands likewise are known for durability. Plus, both brands offer a great warranty, though the warranty offered by Yoder is far better than that of the REC TEC.

The Yoder grills, of course, are more expensive when compared to those of the REC TEC. Thus, if you are looking for a less expensive pellet grill than that of the Yoder’s, you should consider any of the REC TEC grills. However, if money isn’t an issue for you, then, you should go for any of the Yoder grills.
