I have a seven year old Recteq. It’s been flawless. The smoke profile is on the lighter side but that’s ok with us. Maybe not for your friend. BUT, a close friend bought one about 18 months ago and has had several problems with it. And he reports that the once stellar customer service has been severely lacking. I guess what I’m saying is that I wouldn’t but one today. When mine finally gives up the ghost, I will probably look at LSG or Yoder.

Agree with most of above. High end - LSG or Yoder. Mid range - Grilla Silverbac. I have owned both a Silverbac and a Yoder.Comment

I don't have a Yoder, but have looked at them closely, and the friend who sold me his Performer Deluxe 10 years ago to make room for a Yoder YS640 still loves the Yoder and uses it constantly. He wanted to keep the kettle, but his wife told him 5 grills in their backyard was the limit, and he had to get rid of one before the Yoder was delivered.
I think it would be easier to acquire a Yoder than a Mak with their production issues, and it won't have a wait list like a LSG probably would. Grilla is probably under his budget, since it sounds like money is not an issue.Comment
