The past two thanksgivings, I had issues with the Recteq app. Last year, the app failed to give me correct temp probe readings. This year, the app’s temp probe alerts would not work. Very frustrating when you’re trying to cook for a large gathering. I emailed customer support and was told this...

Has anyone ordered any accessories from Recteq recently? I ordered a drip tray liner five days ago and they haven’t even printed a shipping label yet. Recteq tells me that it “may” ship today. I don’t expect them to be as quick as Amazon, but 5+ days is pretty sad. My entire grill shipped out...

My previous pellet grill was a Traeger Eastwood 22”. I used it for three years. The Traeger was ok, but it never provided enough smoke for my liking. I ended up buying a Recteq RT-1250 last year. I initially loved the RT-1250. It provided the smoke I was looking for, but I quickly ran into...

I’ve had my Recteq RT-1250 for three years now. I had something happen today that I’ve never experienced before. I fired up my grill via the Recteq app and set it at 250F. I noticed it was taking much longer than usual to reach temp, so I went outside to check on it. There was a massive amount...

Everything I’ve read and heard, says that meat catches the most smoke when the meat is cold. Every pellet grill I’ve owned, emits a ton of smoke as it’s pre-heating. I hate wasting that smoke, so I’ve started placing my meat on my smoker before firing it up. This seems to introduce more smoke...

So I as watching the latest Recteq YouTube video that just came out, offering cold weather cooking tips. One of the tips was to allow 1/8” - 1/4” of ash to build up at the bottom of the drum, to help insulate it. The is a new one for me. I almost always vacuum out the ash after a cook...

I always line my smoker’s drip tray with 18” HD foil. I try and smooth out any wrinkles in the foil so that the grease can flow more smoothly towards the grease bucket. Despite my efforts, I almost always end up with grease getting underneath the foil. Am I expecting too much, or am I doing...

I was smoking some ribs on my RT-1250 under my patio cover last weekend during a storm, when my house last power. Luckily it was back on within seconds, so it didn’t affect my cook. This did however get me thinking. We live in a rural area where power outages during storms is not uncommon. I...

I love almost everything about my RT-1250, except for the factory grill cover. It is without a doubt, the most difficult cover of any of my grills, to remove and replace. Has anyone found a better aftermarket cover?

I’ve been using my RT-1250 for about six months now. I quickly learned that I no longer need my pellet smoker tube, like I did with my Traeger. The recteq puts out more than enough smoke for my taste. Any of you folks still use one?

When I first bought my RT-1250, the auger motor made a very distinctive noise. I actually enjoyed hearing it whine. After my 4th or 5th cook, the motor became silent. Is this normal?

I just used a set of GG for the first time, on my RT-1250. I put the GG on the grill before starting. I smoked a couple of steaks at low temp to get some smoke in them, pulled em off and cranked the grill up to full. Once it hit full, I put the steaks on the GG. I was immediately disappointed...

I’m fairly new to recteq grills, after owning a Traeger Eastwood for several years. I never did steaks on my Traeger because it wouldn’t get hot enough. I used to start steaks out on my Traeger and then move them over to my gas grill in an attempt to reverse sear them, but my gas grill tops out...

After owning a 22” Traeger for over 5 years, I decided to add a second pellet grill. I ended up purchasing a Recteq RT-1250. It arrived in late May of this year. Less than a month later, we were hit with what is known as a straight line wind event. We basically had 80-90 MPH winds for about 10...

Hi everyone, new member here. I have been grilling with a 22” Traeger for over five years. I have all of my recipes nailed down, especially ribs. I recently purchased an RT-1250, and quickly found that almost all my cooking times need to be extended, since it is a larger grill. Ribs now take me...
