What brand is that on the left with the rotisserie and adjustable grate? They are called Santa Maria style if I am thinking right?
That's a Rectec (now Recteq) Wyldside.
I bought it used. They were originally $1,399 and I couldn't justify the price. Didn't see that much quality there. I have a RecTeq BFG smoker and it's nice, but I just couldn't justify the price for the Wyldside.
It has a fan that adds oxygen to the fire and can hold two rotisseries. They discontinued them.
Got this one locally for less than half that. Was in good condition, just needed some cleaning.
After more research it seems that the price wasn’t bad. Other Santa Maria style units are either missing the rotisserie ability or the fan to feed oxygen to the fire box.
I picked up a shelf for their RT-700 pellet smoker and mounted it so I had a shelf as well as some distance between my junk and that hot-ass stainless.
It’s been said that Rectec copied the Buckaroo grill. I guess they did with the fan system that feeds the fire box.
Overall, I like the thing. When/if I build the outdoor kitchen this will get built in.
Funny you asked about it.
