I’m really struggling here with a decision on which pellet grill/smoker to buy. Been pretty much trying to decide between these 3 but cannot make my mind up. Really looking to buy why will give me the best cook, bark and flavor. I couldn’t care less about the size or storage. I really just want my best smoker out of these 3. I’m also open to listening to other options.

Three completely different units. I’d do some more soul searching as to what you’re looking for in a smoker. Are you doing long cooks? Gonna want a bigger hopper. Are you doing large or multiple briskets? Gonna need more surface area. Do you need/want to sear? Want more bark? Do you want to add a smoke tube or get something for additional smoke, like the Campchef Woodwind pro. What’s your budget? All of these are questions not just for us to help, but for you to make the right decision. Just a side note, I wouldn’t order any smoker off Amazon.
As mentioned above, figure out what you’re looking for first, that will narrow down the options.
Depends on your funds/ patience I would avoid the box store specials and focus on build quality vs bells and whistles.
IMO buying new RecTeq wins out over Traeger (both leaving PittBoss well behind) but I would do a deep, patient, used market search. I got my Yoder640 for $750 off FB. 10 years old, works like a champ and everything is easily fixable/replaceable if I ever have issues.
