However, there is no equivalent ‘FULL’ mode, so 500 degrees is the maximum heat output the But Pig Trailer Rig can achieve. On temperature range, the GMG can also go lower at 150 degrees and as high as 500 degrees. In terms of cooking area 20.75 sq.ft (2,988 sq.in) means it actually provides more cooking area than the more expensive RECTEQ units above. Just like the RECTEQ products above, the GMG Big Pig Trailer Rig is using the same PID/WiFi control panel from their domestic pellet grills/smokers. The Big Pig Trailer Rig from GMG is currently one of the cheapest portable commercial pellet grill/smokers on the market: Image – A lead time is not stated on their website though they do state the price (currently just under $6,500) is FOB for Oregon or Texas. While GMG domestic pellet grills are imported units, I’m not sure about the Big Pig Trailer Rig and whether its manufactured in the US or not. Also in a similar fashion, GMG primarily offers domestic pellet grills/smokers, however, they do also produce a commercial product, the Big Pig Trailer Rig. GMG (Green Mountain Grills) is a brand that also started in 2008 just like RECTEQ above. A 2,400 sq.in cooking area is provided which should be sufficient for most large gatherings where a single cook will be monitoring the grill. However, there is also a ‘FULL’ setting where the temperature will exceed 500 degrees for good searing performance. This means temperature accuracy will be 5 degrees on either side of the set temperature and a cooking temperature range of 200 to 500 degrees. In terms of cooking performance, these commercial RECTEQ pellet grills are using the same PID/WiFi control panels found on their domestic range of grills. RECTEQ also provides these products with a 6-year ‘bumper to bumper’ warranty with a strong commitment to sort out any issues that may occur. Made from 11-gauge steel these commercial pellet grills/smoker will provide a very long operating life. While domestic RECTEQ pellet grills/smokers are manufactured abroad and imported the RT-CMG and RT-TMG above are made to order in the US with a lead time of 4 to 6 weeks. The two largest commercial pellet grills/smokers from RECTEQ are the RT-CMG Beast (left) and the RT-TMG Chuckwagon (right): Images – The RT-CMG Beast comes in at just under $9K with the trailer-mounted version the RT-TMG Chuckwagon coming in at just under $11K. I have a detailed article on the foundations of the company and its entire product range in my RECTEQ article.Īnyway, when it comes to larger pellet grills/smokers for commercial applications RECTEQ produce a couple of products that may be of interest, the RT-2500 BFG and the even larger RT-CMG Beast and RT-TMG Chuckwagon. RECTEQ (formally REC TEC) is based in Georgia, USA and have been producing pellet grills/smokers since 2008. The likely reason is Traeger is no longer a made in the USA brand, and these commercial pellet grills/smokers were made in the US to order. When Traeger transitioned over to their D2 Direct Drive platform for their domestic Pro Series, Ironwood and Timberline models they appear to have just decided not to continue with their commercial range. You may be able to find a second-hand unit on eBay etc, but it appears you can no longer purchase a new commercial Traeger pellet grill/smoker. Browsing/searing the Traeger website I can find no reference to these commercial products anymore. So as you can tell above, I’ve been discussing Traeger commercial pellet grills/smokers in the past tense. The two largest examples of commercial Traeger pellet grills/smokers that no longer appear to be in production: Images –
