While there are many different options on the market, there are also a variety of things buyers should be aware before making a decision. From grill space and grill size, to the warranty offered and what that means for you, Ray and Ron have you covered.

I bought my RT-700 Bull at the end of April 2018. FANTASTIC grill. The wife and I have been using it at least 3-4 times a week all summer. Couldn't be happier with our purchase. This thing cooks really well and is built like a tank. Even the assembly hardware was really nice. Lots of times you buy a nice product, then find that you were provided with the cheapest assembly hardware possible. The add-on folding front shelf is built really well, and easy to install.
Best looking, Best warranty, Best customer service, Best pellet grill by far. That’s why I bought the RT 700 The Bull!!
Well said! 🤘
I've just started getting into this, and I've already made my decision based on what I've heard from by buddies about their customer service. I'll be getting a RT 700 here in about two weeks, and I cant wait to smoke up some Brisket!
I researched for about 2 years before buying a Rectec 680 last November. Absolute perfection on each cook. It's improved my BBQ game.
Fantastic product and customer support. Love my Rec Tec!
Buying a Rec Tec was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Great product, great people who work there and the greatest BBQ I've ever made because of Rec Tec.
I have to echo Tony J’s comments. I’ve have an RT680 for several years now and will tout high praises for this amazing pellet grill and especially the RecTeq company with their customer service and quality workmanship!
I have a RECTEC 700 with all the extras and I love using this grill. The best thing about it is the World Class Customer Service I’ve experienced personally. The RECTEC Staff is the best I’ve ever encountered! They stand behind their products 100% which makes me a very happy customer indeed!
Best smoker out there. And they speak the truth on all points. In particular their customer service. You can speak to anyone at this company, the chef, the owner or the customer care folks. Works class friendly people. They will always make it right.
My wonderful wife and kids just surprised me and bought the RT-700 for me since my birthday is on the 18th of this month! Cannot wait to get it!!!
Proud member of the recteq family with my RT-700 my wife got me for my 60th bday in September, 2020. I couldn't be happier. Had to move it through some grass to its final parking space and the wifi antenna cap popped off, lost in the grass. Recteq sent a replacement antenna right out no problem. I hope I can get a spot in your BBQ Academy eventually but right now they're all booked up! I wish you had a waiting list so I could hold a place for a future class. Love my Bull!
Love my RecTecs, RT-680, Bullseye & Matador!
Great video guys. I've been doing research for about 4 months. I think you made up my mind.
Thanks again
Once you go recteq, you never look back! Give us a shout if we can help seal the deal with any questions you may still have. (706) 922-0890 🤘
great video, change my mind was thinking of camp chef 36. you guys made some great points about quality over smoke and mirrors. I'm so excited to receive my new recteg 700 in a couple of days.
Can't wait until I have the rest of the money. My reason for wanting to buy Rec-Tec is not just the product, but the warrenty and Customer service. I have already done my research. And that is what sold me
Best thing about being a Recteq owner? The customer service, hands down!!! I’ve ran into only a few small issues with my RT-700 and Bullseye, but when I have, the reps call back immediately, are polite, courteous, and very helpful. Top-notch!!
If you ever need us, give us a call 706-922-0890
Thanks for these helpful tips. REC TEC is simply the BEST!!
Thanks for all your kind words! 🤘
Love my Rec Tec mini, still have all original parts after 4 years! I would like to order a ceramic igniter to have on hand if needed though!
i love my rec teq 340...im a rec teq lifer now boys...next season ill have one of your 700s on my deck and using my 340 for competitions...great products at rec teq guys...
Was referred to you all by a Physician I work with. He has the BFG. I’m looking at maybe the 590. Think I’ll be joining the family soon. Looks like you all have amazing products. .
Thanks guys. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for watching! 🤘
Very happy with my decision to go with Rec Tec.
Can't wait for my RT-700 to arrive, maybe one day I'll be able to afford the competition cart to go along with it! You guys have some badass grills!
Great video for a great product. I ordered a Flagship1100 today and I can't wait to use it. However, I do want to offer some advice.
1, Owners should NEVER pitch their own products.
2. Production value is key for marketing
3. I live close enough to Augusta to offer my services if you're hiring. I'm a procurement professional and I can help take you to the next level.
I just purchased the RT-700 a couple days ago and as amazing as the packaging was one of the legs had a decent size scratch on it and the drip trey had a big red mark on it. It’ll be covered w foil so that’s not a big deal but when you buy something brand new it’s nice to get everything good as new. I haven’t used it yet but it’s definitely heavy duty. Still glad I bought it.
Rec Tec mini owner. Love the grill and your customer service is next to none. Your techs rock!
We've got to keep the REC TEC family happy! Thanks for the support. 🤘
They have excellent customer service, and the grill is so good at temp stability.
Luckily, I live in Hephzibah just a 30 minute drive from Rec Tec. Everyone at work was saying how awesome these grills are and I needed to get one. I waited about a year before deciding to buy one. Why did I wait so long, I don't know, this thing is awesome. I bought the RT700 Bull w/ WIFI. I can start the grill and set the temperature from my bedroom, living room, or wherever and head straight to the kitchen to prep the meat. I have had my Bull for about 4 months now and have cooked on it probably 40 times (my wife loves this aspect of the grill). So, she throws down this challenge for Thanksgiving on whose turkey will taste the best. I brined my turkey for 24 hrs., stuffed it with cut up apples, oranges and fresh herbs; put some Rec Tec rub on it (can't remember which one; got'em all) put it on the grill put one probe in the breast and the second in the thigh and set my alarm on my phone. A few hours later she says, "You better go check your turkey". Nah, I'm good. Alarm goes off, I go get the turkey; cover it for 15 minutes on the counter then start carving. Best fu@&ing turkey ever. Hers didn't even get touched. I've cooked everything on this grill turkey (of course), Boston butt, pork loin, whole chickens, chicken breast, thighs and legs, steaks, salmon, bacon, oysters Rockefeller, even a frozen pizza. You can't go wrong with a Rec Tec.
I bought my RT700 in December of 2018. Have enjoyed it immensely and have cooked hundreds of pounds of food all without the slightest of a hitch. Upgraded to the BFG in May 2022. I needed the extra space because we have a MASSIVE party in June at my house. Just arrived and can’t say how happy I am. I am giving my 700 to my brother in law in Illinois because God forbid he’s smoking pork butts in an electric cabinet. Eric, South Central Texas.
Love my Stampede Rt 590!
My biggest thing when looking at pellet grills after all my research was build quality and especially temperature fluctuations. I have to say after buying the stampede 590, the build quality is phenomenal. But I’m still blown away at how it holds temperature. On a warm day it doesn’t change a single degree. Cold days I cooked on it, it only swung a single degree.
Hey guys!! More and more research I do, keeps leading me back to RecTec!! Looking at the 590 and I have a question? It's probably been asked before, but realistically how hot can that grill get WFO??? Videos I've seen so far that you do searing for steaks or burgers, you're using the 700. Thanks.
Well, it’s 2022, June. I just bought my first smoker, your Recteq 590. It should arrive in a few days. I relied on the rave reviews about your high quality construction (stainless steel!) and your customer service. I’ll let your know after a few months ifI think you’re hype or you are honest, truthful, reliable. I’m counting on you! I’m 72 and I have what has been diagnosed as a terminal illness (cancer, but still saying and receiving prayers). This is probably my last major purchase and I wanted something to sort of keep me occupied, because woodworking is too dangerous for me now (lol). My children will inherit this smoker. Don’t prove me wrong, fellas. Take care.
Heard great things about this company from a customer of mine. Will be looking forward to hopefully soon acquiring one.
Awesome, let us know if we can get you some more information on our products! (706) 922-0890 🤘🔥
Got the rt-590 and haven't fired it up yet but had 3 very pleasant conversations with customer service mainly because of my stupidity ordering. I couldn't believe a live person answered all three times within 3 rings, unheard of in this day and age. None of my problems were a problem for customer service and delivery within 3 business days of ordering from about 800 miles away!
Just bought a rt 590. Cant wait to get it!
You'll never look back! Surf around our TH-cam channel. We have plenty of resources for assembly, startup, recipes, & more! 🤘
There's a 15 mile cellular dead zone on my way home from work. I can turn the grill on while driving home and it's preheated to 325 in that 15 minutes. Best grill I've ever cooked on.
I’ve been researching pellet grills a lot recently and one of the things that appeals to me is the different types of wood I can smoke with using another brands wood pellets... can I use those pellets in a Rec Tec? Is there that much of a difference to begin with? I like the idea of the rec tec pellets that have little ash, but can you use them for desserts?
will the cc sear box fit this ??
Why doesn't the bullseye have a drip pan? I've seen a lot of reviews showing fires lit from the grease that drops down.
Waiting for another sale. A bit high right now :(
Yes and yes 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Picked up a RT 590 this week. Feels like an excellent unit. Buy once, cry once.
Had a couple questions prior and after ordering and customer service email was quick to reply.
Came on UPS freight truck palletized real nice. No damage to anything.
As stated many times around the interwebs inital setup of the wifi on the grill can be a pain. Make sure you have a dedicated 2.4Ghz wifi broadcast from your router and it should go smooth.
Assembly was simple. I bought the optional cart. What to do with the original legs, wheels and shelf that I will not be using.......
I'm new to all this grilling and tried some pulled pork.
Came out perfect!
Does anyone have some suggestions to a youtube channel or websites for some recipes for dummies?
My ONLY gripe is the popular accessories are all out of stock at this time.
Thank you for your kind & honest review! We know you'll love the RT-590 for many years to come. Pulled pork is just one of the countless amazing foods that will come off your REC TEC. We have lots of awesome recipes here on our TH-cam channel. Also, feel free to join our REC TEC RT-590 Insiders group on Facebook so you can share BBQ tips, tricks, & knowledge as well as ask questions to other RT-590 owners! 👉 facebook.com/groups/1535938173216873/?source_id=184981481546020
As for the missing accessories, we will honor the 20% off discount once they come back in stock & add free shipping. Sorry for the inconvenience! 🤘
Maybe you can use a butcher block with the legs to make a little table?? I’m still undecided between the 590 & 700 :/
I really like my Stampede, Rec Tec makes a great pellet smoker, just wish they had more accessories for it, like the shelf or thermal blanket.
Can’t decide between the 590 or 700. Still very happy with the 590’s size and features?
@@Shovelups Very happy with my Stampede, they also have the shelf now for the 590 too.
Are you guys offering Labor Day sale, or Black Friday sale
How fast does the 590 heat up to 450 for searing?
How does the Rec Tec differ from GMG or Grilla Grill?
I challenge anyone to look for a pellet grill and use the method that I used here on TH-cam. Search each manufacture of a pellet grill that you are looking for with the words issues attached and save Rec Tec for last because we always save the best for last. A quick summary of this method for me. Traeger, Green Mountain, pit boss it didn’t matter every other brand that I searched with the word issue had videos here on TH-cam with somebody having a problem with there grill I looked at $500 pit bosses to $1400 traegers. I could not find any faith in any of these products almost to the point where I gave up the idea of getting a pellet grill. That was until I found Rec Tec watched a few videos saw lots of happy people not sad stories. Then I searched Rec Tec issues I couldn’t find anybody complaining or upset about the product. Quite the opposite I found people that had pit boss grill’s installing Rec Tec controllers and people selling there traegers to get a Rec Tec. Let’s face it if somebody had a problem with Rec Tec they would post a video on TH-cam about it. When I called them to ask them about availability of product because I didn’t want to order and find out that the product might be on back order the phone rang and rang and no one answered I didn’t leave a message but I assumed because it was the day before Thanksgiving that they were off for the holiday. Let me tell you this the stories are true about the customer service from this company can you believe they called me back a few seconds later to see what I needed answer my questions more importantly it made me feel like they cared about the customer and their company which is important. Don’t do yourself a disservice by buying some other brands pellet grill.
How well insulated are the rec tecs? I live in the US northeast. Planning to smoke briskets over night during the winter. Insulation blankets seem to get filthy over time. Do you have double walled units?
Our grills hold temperature & recover amazingly! We use thicker steel & are better built than the competition. The PID controller does a great job of burning pellets efficiently, producing higher BTUs, & not wasting pellets. No need for double wall insulation! That can result in grease build up behind it that is tough to clean. Most competitor models do not even offer the option for you to remove the "double wall" in order to clean behind it. Watch out for that feature because mold can thrive in those environments. 👍
Just ordered the rt-700
Congratulations, welcome to the recteq family! 🤘🔥
Hey guys i know this is an old video...Im getting rid of my Weber Genesis E-330 Special Edition propane grill and looking for a pellet grill alternative. I keep seeing Recteq and Traeger as viable options as well as Yoder and Weber. Yoder Ys480 and Weber EX4 seem to be the more logical choices because they can reach 600 degrees however the reviews on the Weber are not that promising the the Yoder is super expensive......Is there anyway to get the Recteq 590 to 600 degrees or do you plan on releasing a pellet grill that can reach those temperatures?
The RT-590 can be set between 200 and 500 degrees by 5 degree increments. There is an extreme smoke setting which allows your recteq to stay below 200 and the FUL setting which allows your recteq to exceed 500 degrees. We cannot give a set number on either of those settings since factors including surrounding conditions and the quality of your pellets can play a factor in that. Feel free to give us a call at the headquarters so we can go over more details! 706-922-0890
Nothing but the truth in this video! Only company I have ever dealt with that would rather talk to you rather than email back and forth with questions. These grills are so simple it puts fun back into grilling and smoking, the only hard part is thinking of what to cook on it each night. But their website helps with that--tons of free recipes there!
Spent the last 30 days doing legit research. Moving from the Mak 2 star general to the RT-700, and couldnt be more excited. Completed my order last night! Cant wait until the truck rolls up! Any suggestions for the first cook?
Awesome, you made the right choice in your upgrade! We know you'll be more than happy with your new RT-700. We always suggest cooking something fatty for your first cook (chicken thighs, pork butt, bacon, etc.) so you can season your grates! Check out our RT-700 Assembly video once it arrives 👉 th-cam.com/video/QHLIuRVSnpE/w-d-xo.html
and this helpful startup video once you get it put together! 👉 th-cam.com/video/Csl9AK9BRVg/w-d-xo.html
Welcome to the REC TEC family! 🤘🔥
Hello, does the auger always run when grilling. Im not too familiar with pellet grills. I have a grill for Burgers, hotdogs etc.. can you grill carne asada. I have a electric smoker that i use to smoke but want to consolidate.
The auger will turn periodically through your cook depending on what you are grilling! The PID controller works to maintain a precise temperature by controlling the amount of pellets being fed to the firepot & blowing the fan when needed. It is normal to hear it cycling on & off during a cook! 💨 You can most definitely grill hot & fast like burgers, hotdogs, & carne asada. The recteq will reach up to 550ºF. You can even add a sear kit to the top of your grates that will get hotter than the grill's set temperature so you can sear with ease. 🔥 Be sure to give us a call if you'd like to hear more details or have any other questions! (706) 922-0890 🤘
How long does it take to get from 0-500 degrees? I’ve looked at the Broil King. It’s built like a tank but one video said it took 45 minutes to hit the searing temperature.
Depending on the quality of your pellets & the surrounding conditions, it can anywhere from 20-45 minutes!
Do you sell in any storefronts so I can look at the smoker first hand before I buy it?
No, we currently only sell out of our facility in Evans, GA and online! We suggest you join our Facebook groups (we have one specific to every grill model) and ask if someone near your area has one that you can look at in person. People are usually very welcoming and willing to show it off! Please don't hesitate to give us a call with any questions you may have. (706) 922-0890 🤘
Will you guys ever have a full pull out second shelf? There have been times I’ve smoked 10+ ribs and a couple of pork butts for large parties at our house.
No plans to incorporate a pull out second shelf in the RT-700 right now, we'll keep that in mind. We do have similar shelves in the RT-2500 BFG. Sounds like you're doing a lot of party hosting. We're running a special deal on the BFG through today only, check it out at rectecgrills.com! 🤘🔥
How much for the dump truck?
Can I cook pasta in it? Can I make a apple pie? Can I cut up the briquettes in small pieces and save money on pellets?
Woohoo!! #AMatadorADay
Yeah........ I want one
You NEED one! 🤘
Customer service sucks. I wanted to buy replacement parts. They wanted me to try a bunch of stuff first, which I did including buying $50 in tools. When that didn’t work I said I just wanted to buy replacement parts. Now they don’t respond to e-mails anymore. It worked good but customer service is bad.
Do y'all have any retailers in Australia that I can buy from?
Our only retail area is currently located in Evans, GA! But there is always room to grow & we hope to expand out retail areas in the future. 🤘
@@recteq please do, I want your grill!
Just got my 590. Just hooked it to wifi and did my burn in. Gonna do a pork butt and beef ribs.
Awesome, welcome to the REC TEC family! A pork butt is the perfect first cook to get your grates seasoned up. Let us know how it turns out! 🤘🔥
8 months and counting....... second best purchase I've made in a long while...!!
What was your first best purchase?
How long does it take to get from 0 degrees to 225 degrees? Then how long does it take to get from 225 degrees to 500 degrees? thx!
its pretty damn quick
3 years and counting with my RT680! Can I upgrade my PID with a new WiFi for a price?
Yes you can! Give us a call so we can go over details with you. (706) 922-0890 🤘🔥

Guys, I've had my RT300 Mini for about 3 or so years. Still has all the original parts and runs like a top, even after spending 2 Illinois winters outside under a RecTec cover. NOW, I am looking to upsize and upgrade.
Naturally, I started by looking at RT700 The Bull, BUT am also looking at Yoder, Pitts and Spitts, Blazn Grill Works and Gator Pit. The all have something the other one doesn't. HOWEVER, I keep switching back in my mind to RecTec, knowing that if the Bull is as reliable as my Mini, I'd be a fool to leave RecTec for another brand. I've loaded my shopping cart with the Bull + Grand Champion bundle + Comp Cart +++ but have yet to pull the trigger..... $2500 is a lot of cash and as much of a Fan Boy as I am, I just want to get this purchase absolutely right. Still thinking.......... No matter what, I'm a RecTec guy at heart.
Glad your Mini still has you cookin' and eatin' good! Don't forget about our 6-year warranty for the Bull and our world-class customer service. If you ever need anything, don't hesitate to give us a call!
It will be one of the best investments you will make! Give us a call if you need help making the right choice. (706) 922-0890

We’ve had our Z Grill ZPG-450A pellet grill for a little over two weeks. th-cam.com/users/postUgkx3c8DmtYRYEKYTiR4g7y6Yc2amUPVs_3X It was relatively easy to put together, with 2 of us. (friend and I)The grill seems well built and heavy duty. I followed the start-up directions, and then cooked chicken on it that evening. We’ve since cooked burgers, pork chops, meat loaf, and steak on the Z Grill and love it. I’ve used a hardwood mix (per my Son-in-Laws recommendation) and we are very happy. Like cooking in an outside oven with a nice smoky taste. This is a perfect size for the two of us, and would probably work fine for a small family also.All the things we have cooked have kept their moisture, and remained juicy. No burning on one side!My next challenge will be a brisket. We highly recommend the Z Grill 450A, so far. Hopefully they did get whatever “bugs” fixed from previous models (per the description on Amazon). I’ll update our review after a few months.
What grade of stainless steel do you use on the Stampede for the internal components?
304 stainless steel firepot, heat deflector, drip pan, & grates. 🔥
@@recteq I received an email response to the question I asked with a different response from Rec Tec. The email stated that only the grates are 304 stainless on the Stampede.
@@CRUSH71 That is incorrect information, we're sorry for the confusion! We can assure you that the internal components listed above are all 304 stainless steel. We'll make sure all of our customer service specialists are up to date on the correct information. 🤘

Can you cook without smoking.
How hot can a rec tec get?
Our grills easily reach 500ºF+ degrees! However, the RT-B380 Bullseye is the hottest grill we have. We have seen it reach over 800ºF before! 🔥
Had storm damage to my 2019 RT-340. Rec Tec would not/could not provide a replacement part (the pellet bin cover was damaged). I'm not impressed and would not buy one again.
Hello Mr. Scott, If you could give us a call at (706)922-0890 Ask for Ethan.
I made the mistake of watching 1 video and went with the z grills 700 e. If I woulda researched more I woulda found rectec and pulled the trigger and bought 1. Now all I do is watch rectec videos all depressed 😂😂😂😂
Let’s face it if you don’t get a bull you’re going to get the horns. 😂 FYI The horns are any other pellet grill manufacture.
HELP ME PLEASE !!!!!!!!
HELP ME DECIDE BETWEEN THE 590 AND THE 700
Is the Rec Tec grill worth it? Let’s put it this way if you’re looking for a pellet grill and you don’t get a Rec Tec you’re just wasting your time and money. Don’t get wrecked get a Rec Tec.
Rectec or Recteq?
Just recteq 🤘🔥
I see the company changed it's mind on the WiFi feature. Smart move.
Just got my 1100 Flagship! And this thing is built like a tank! This thing is definitely not your neighbors residential grill. Built like a commercial grill!
I originally had a Rec tec for years. My wife got a new job which the company sold Camp Chef smokers, so we decided to try it out…I miss my Rec Tec and will be getting rid of this Camp Chef. Rec Tec is the only way to go. My company has Pit Boss and Traegers out in the field. Absolutely no comparison in my opinion.
Same as my 340 pit boss grill...but it costs twice as much. Only difference is it has a shelf and looks better. Pit Boss has great support , too. Don't waste your money on this.
My pitt boss smoker allows water to get into the hopper so you can't have it out where any rain can get in; even a little. I had to take it apart and clear the auger. Poor design with the controls right below the grates so everything drips on your electronics when you slide the grates out. The front of control panel fell off on day 2. The temperature sensor went out; twice. Thanksgiving morning it had an 'Erl' error code and wouldn't light so had to cook 2 turkeys in the oven. I scrapped it after less than 2 years of ownership and my RecTec 700 was delivered 2 days ago.

No socks?
The heat from the RT-700 keeps his feet warm. 😂
That guys eyes are really creeping me out
