Well, you either got an older version or a newer version. The photo of that motor on RecTeq's website actually shows two holes. Go figure.Guess we will see what motor #2 looks like.
Yeah... that's sorta like the 427 Cobras. You could drive 'em, play with them a little and appreciate what they were capable of... But, if you drove them flat out you were going to DIE! That's why there aren't too many of the originals around these days.Installed mine , 76 degrees to 500 took 13 mins then it kept climbing to this which took another 12 mins and bubbled the paint a little bit on the inside of lid
Damn! Now you just started the next new modification!ahhh no biggy , I have a powder coat shop right by me , if it gets worse I’ll take it in and have them spray it with the high temp ceramic paint , good for up to 2000 degrees
The paint will hold up, can't say if the fire pot will though.that will work perfectly with the 4rpm auger
I feel personally attacked.Well at least you didn't have to waist your time determining which of the two holes to use!
glad to hear its working good. to prevent the overshooting you can put grill on low just before you open lid and put it back on 225 when you close. seems to keep the auger from speeding up. not that 25 high for a few minutes will hurt anything thoughSmoke Daddy auger took 6 minutes to get to 225 for some pork shoulder today. Has held steady for the past 7 hours and is still going smoothly. Also set the feed rate to 1.5 as recommended. It has overshot anywhere between 5-25 degrees after opening the lid to mist the shoulders in apple cider vinegar, but has come back down to temp after 5 minutes or so.
Well at least you didn't have to waist your time determining which of the two holes to use!
I've heard this before.Well at least you didn't have to waist your time determining which of the two holes to use!
Was not meant in any way to single you out, but all of us doing this mod. And, he really had no other choice!I feel personally attacked.
It was a joke I'm an idiot that posted about putting in the wrong hole with a pic. LOLWas not meant in any way to single you out, but all of us doing this mod. And, he really had no other choice!
New 3 rpm auger is installed. Rate set to 15. Test run tonight with pizza.
I just ordered my RT700 and came across this thread about the auger motor “mod”. I purchased a BFG 3rpm along with my new unit and thought I would try it from the beginning with all the research that y’all have done. I watched a YouTube video on adjusting the minimum auger rate and the recteq factory video said that the rate could not be lowered below 30. The video was a few years old…is this no longer the case? Thanks for passing on such great information !we have all been there
