I only skimmed this thread, but I started out with a Traeger Texas and then a RT680. For me pellet grills were maddeningly frustrating during summer time here. I know temp fluctuations of +/-20deg is no big deal. However, in the dead of summer here trying to hold 250 is impossible. With both grills the only way I could do it was to prop open the lid with tin foil. That was what recteq support suggested after many calls. Otherwise temps spent more time at 300+.
Since our area is so hot most of the year, I'd recommend a kettle or two with the fan/controller mods. The only thing pellet grills have on that is capacity.
