Bull Advise for a noob!

[JET82]

Hey everyone.

I just purchased an RT-700 and will be receiving it soon. I was just looking for some advise from some of you seasoned RecTeq owners on the first fire/seasoning process. I'm sure there is nothing complicated about it, but thought I would see if there are any tips/recommendations floating around out there. I appreciate any feedback! Really looking forward to getting this bad boy set up and smokin!

After the initial burn in, I did chicken thighs as suggested by Recteq. Not an expensive cook, a good first step to seasoning the grill, and they came out great. The video below helped! The only difference from the video is I put some cherry chips on the heat deflector for added smoke flavor.

The video is on point. Also, if you purchased grill grates, put them in also for the initial heat and thermal cycling event.

After burn in, just start smoking… bacon or pork belly is a good start.
