  • Traeger vs. Recteq: Which Pellet Grill Reigns Supreme?
    Wes compares Traeger, known for "better tech and loyal fans," to Recteq, praised for "quality and customer service." Traeger's Ironwood and Timberline models feature top-notch tech, while Recteq's stainless steel components ensure durability. Recteq's unique styling may divide opinions. Both brands offer excellent options for grill enthusiasts.
  • Outdoor Cooking in 2025: Smart Tech and Versatile Grills Lead the Way
    Wes highlights the shift from gas to pellet and flatop grills, driven by new cooking methods and flavors. "Smart tech is being introduced in all types of outdoor cooking devices," he notes. Electric grills, smoking, and pizza ovens with smart features are gaining traction. Expect more versatile, tech-savvy outdoor cooking experiences in 2025.
