I see various posts here indicating that some people have trouble getting their Bulls over 450-500* max. All that seems curious to me as I have no problem getting mine to 550* + any day. The only difference I can imagine is pellet choice. I have experimented with multiple brands of pellets, but I have mostly used the recteq ultimate blend. I recently bought 200# of the cookingpellets.com perfect mix pellets that recteq sells, and today I had a chance to run them at full temp. Weather wise, we had showers here today and aIr temps were unseasonably low this evening at 76* when I cooked. At max temp, my Bull got to ALMOST 600*, logging 596* when I checked it. I didn’t look at the logs to see if it actually got over 600*, but clearly the cooking pellets are capable of reaching high temps.
