+1 to the sliding interior shelf Would also like to see them develop a controller that would allow for various levels of smoke/PID control. Much like the Grilla Alpha smoke or new CampChef Woodwind. Sometimes I want PID, and sometimes it would be nice to have the temp swings that produced more...

Those OtterBox coolers are no joke! My father in law was given one by his neighbor and it performs better than any Yeti I’ve used. The Lifetime brand coolers are also very, very good And a lot less!

The temp control has been good for me. The biggest thing I notice is that if I have the lid open for any more than a few secs, it will overshoot and take a few mins to come back down. So if I know I’m going to have the lid open for awhile, I’ll crank the temp down 5-10°, open lid, do what I...

Has hell frozen over!?! An actual app update!?!?

I would really like to see a before/after test with/without the downdraft, of measuring pit temps at the grate across the entire RT700. My theory is that it would really help even out temps due to change in convection flow.

I was just curious if anyone here has installed a Don Godke Downdraft system to their RecTec? It seems like it would help keep smoke low in the chamber and potentially even out hot spots, all while saving pellets. The installation is simple and I like the adjustable butterfly valve. I was just...

I usually cook 3-6 pork shoulders/butts at once (takes the same amount of time and pellets as cooking 1. Then I package in 1lb bags, vacuum seal and freeze. Then whenever I need a quick meal or want to share with friends or my neighbor, I just pull out what I need and reheat. I usually make 3...

They can’t even get their alarms working for everyone, so I doubt you’ll see this kind of integration unless it is third party/open source.

Feed rate only affects how LOW your temp can go without burning out, or if you are having wild temp swings (high then low then high etc). It has zero bearing on how fast you get to temp. Make sure your rtd temp sensor probe is at least 1/2" away from the side wall of the cooker. Also make sure...

Well the new parts came in and I installed them yesterday. It was a very simple and straightforward process, with the hardest part of trying to fit my hands and an appropriately sized screwdriver behind the controller to remove it. After everything was buttoned up and the interior cleaned...

So in continued communications about my RT-700 issues, I am now supposedly getting a new controller with upgraded firmware (current Bull from Sept'19 has v103, and new will have v104). I know my Bull was one of the first ones with the external wifi antenna, but when I checked the firmware it...

Let me just give you the canned answer we've all been getting since last summer... "Yeah, we have some users that have this issue and some that don't. We're really working hard on it but Apple/Android keeps updating their OS and throwing us off. We had our developer across the country working...

I have been told by RecTec customer service that the feed rate has nothing to do with the amount of time it takes to get up to temp. I, like some others, have issues getting UP to temp in a reasonable amount of time, but once I do get to my desired temp, it is rock solid. I am in a dry/warm...

Yeah, I think they aren't the best at returning emails. If you call, you always talk to someone and I think that is the best/fastest way to get help. Let us know what they say. I don't believe that us few on this forum are the only ones with warped deflectors. I am betting it happens more often...

I got my grill in September 2019 and have had warped deflector and drip pan. Just got replacements of both about 3 weeks ago, tried a high temp test and both warped but appear to have went back in place. I did a long and low cook on the Bull a couple weeks ago and it seemed to work great, but I...
