I am familiar with the differences between the 1070 and the 1250. I'm just trying to decide which one I "trust". The 1250 is based on a design that has been out for years and is what made RecTeq famous. The 1070 (i would get the one with the stand) has some newer design features that haven't been around long enough to be thoroughly vetted.
So if money wasn't a constraint which would you buy and why?
My consideration points:
I like the smoke stack better than the rear vents.
I'm not sure about the removable grease tray in the 1070. I think the pail off the side is a proven method and people know how to compensate for problems with it.
The pellet hopper in the front on the 1070 doesn't make much difference to me though it is smaller than the rear hoper on the 1250.
The integrated hopper/shelf on the 1070 has some problems with the lid/shelf warping. I'm also wondering if it will get in the way when dealing with the protein on the grates.
I think I would like the folding shelf on the 1250 better as I can move it out of the way when I'm not using the shelf.
Both grills have two shelves which is a feature that I want.
Again, I would like your thoughts.
