The RT-700 packed in more flavor than any other pellet grill I’ve used, and I think that is a direct result of the superior controller programming.

When set on a lower setting, like 225℉, the fan and auger cycle on and off to keep a thin blue plume of smoke rolling out of the chimney cap, while staying within just a few degrees from that setting. Recteq has been developing the algorithm their grills ship with for years and it’s dang near perfect. Just push the button, dial in your temperature (in 5 degree increments) and the PID technology does the rest.

I’d recommend staying out of the settings though, unless you know what you’re doing and have your owner’s manual handy. A lot of recteq’s reputation comes directly from their controller technology and I’m here for it. Usually, I don’t include a section in a review on controllers unless something stands out, good or bad.

This translates into less work for the auger motor, and the ability to supply an ample amount of pellets to support that 500℉ plus temperature. Stainless steel components handle high heat much better than competitors powder-coated steel, and, with the hopper mounted on the back, the length the auger has to carry pellets is much shorter. The beautifully high temperature and the grills’ ability to hit it lie directly in the construction. Other pellet grill manufacturers claim to hit temperatures this high but most struggle in my experience. Recteq says the temperature range of this grill is from 200℉-500℉ but I’ve found it’s more like 180℉-550ish set on low and hi modes, respectively. High temperature grilling and, yes, even searing are completely within the capabilities of the RT-700. This low and slow tri-tip was super moist and packed with flavor! Grilling and Searing The smoke ring and the bark speak for themselves. The RT-700 ran for a solid 9 hours on this one without a temperature variance of more than a few degrees either way. I know, I know, tri-tip is supposed to be medium rare, but sometimes I just can’t help myself in the pursuit of great bark. I cooked the tri-tip below just like I’d cook a brisket. One flick of the switch and you can easily illuminate that 702 sq. The RT-700 also has a light on the inside, making late night check ins much more convenient. Incredible, and much longer than you’d ever need for one smoking session. Folks, I filled that bad boy, set it to 225, let it eat until it was completely out of pellets, and I got an incredible 43 HOURS.

The RT-700 has an absolutely massive 40lb pellet hopper that recteq claims can last up to 40 hours of cooking. Cooking with the RT-700Ĭooking on the RT-700 is a Backyard BBQ Hero’s dream! Low and Slow The RT-700 went from in the box on my porch to fully assembled and cooking in about an hour with basic hand tools. You can tell the RT-700 was built with the consumer in mind being easy to put together and very easy to swap out parts if you ever need to. It’s the perfect place to throw the folded up cover or some extra pellets.Īs far as assembly goes, it’s slightly easier than some of the other grills I’ve put together. At this price point in the grill market, it’s tough to get a grill built this well that also includes lower storage like this. The lower shelf is a much welcome addition. Featuring “rollerblade” style wheels, this grill is super easy to get it right where you need it, and it’s as solid as a rock while doing so. The leg system recteq has built for their larger grills is extremely sturdy. The cooking chamber, grates, firepot, heat deflector, drip pan, side shelf, and even the smoke cap are all made of stainless, where others in the market usually choose cheaper powder coated steel instead.Ĭonstruction bonuses don’t stop short at the materials.

With the RT-700, you get stainless steel everywhere it matters and, boy, do I love my stainless steel.
