Its 30 something degrees here in North Jersey and going up in the 40' tomorrow, Which works out good since my new Pellet smoker is arriving. wooo....hooo cant wait to put her together and fire her up.
I have read on the forum after the burn in some folks like to "season" the grill by smoking bacon. I do have a couple of packages in the freezer so that's definately an option but any other suggestions is greatly appreciated.
Congrats and welcome to the pellethead club! Good luck on the set up and seasoning. I vote for starting with a couple of fatties (hey, why not wrap them in bacon since you have it ) and then a Boston Butt. All those are pretty forgiving to cook and should get you a good seasoning.

Congrats Scott. When you're ready to part ways with those cookers PM me. I would be interested and I'm only 15-20min from you. I'm right on the boarder of Suffern and Mahwah. But don't tell my wife. Haha
Congrats on your RecTec 680. I use the same unit and have been very happy with both the results and how easy it is to use. The only problem that I have ever had with mine was user error. I dumped a bag of pellets into the hopper including all of the dust in the bottom of the bag. Jammed the auger tunnel. If you want a little more smoke flavor, there is an "Xtreme Smoke" button that controls air flow and fuel rate to maintain lower temperature and create more smoke.
