Just reporting back after a week with the new motor from Recteq… WOW! Now this thing does low and slow and can get to 500+ in 10-20 minutes. Tried chicken breast a few times a deer burgers with a griddle. Flawless on both!
Super happy with this and glad I made the update. If you don’t need...
Would an additional Al shelf do the trick for jerky? If so, give that a try! If not, an extra 700 ain’t bad and the 1250 would give you some flex with bigger motor, additional shelf included, etc. for half the cost, so would a name brand like Pitboss or something too. To buy or make a shelf...
I was in the same boat, but had issues with getting to 400+. Smoke flavor is also not as pronounced, but if you have a drum, WSM or charcoal gravity, nearly impossible to replicate on a pellet. I Even tried a pellet tube. I think I’ll try a charcoal tube to be honest as charcoal pellets were...

Follow through with their suggestions, keep being polite, professional and persistent. It took my 6-8 months, quite a few emails, some testing and this last...
Wow! Ok! I emailed Recteq back from a previous email explaining everything I had done, was polite and professional and they called back in 1 hour. They reviewed and mentioned that every once in a while a grill could have an issue and sent me a replacement auger! The one I needed too.
What a...
Yo! Curious if anyone has luck working with Recteq on a motor upgrade for their 700 since they launched the 1250?
Last year I called and emailed back and forth with their customer service as getting to 400 takes 30-40 minutes and it never goes higher than 450’ish. SUPER disappointing when I...
