    Rec tec 680 as only grill in the house?

    I use my 680 as a grill but with Grill Grates. It will get to 500 easily and I wouldn't get overly concerned about the pellets going bad. They should be ok unless we're talking about months at very high humidity. The only maintenance really is to clean out the ash occasionally. $500 would be...

    Rec Tec Bull/Stampede Owners - Rust Issues?

    They would likely just send you a new controller. Why is it the least of your worries?

    Does pellet type/flavor really matter?

    Yes. Burns fine. Not much smoke flavor IMO but your tastes may vary.

    Does pellet type/flavor really matter?

    Everyone has different taste preferences. My wife likes less intense smoke and I like more. I’ve tried a variety of brands and woods in my pellet smoker. I probably couldn’t tell you what pellet was used to smoke a piece of meat but I can tell the intensity of the smoke flavor. I’ve settled...

    New RecTec Stampede Owner

    Not sure if this has been posted but RecTec doubled the warranty for the Stampede to 4 years. It’s for all current and future owners.

    Rec Tec Bull/Stampede Owners - Rust Issues?

    I don’t know what to tell you. I smoked a brisket for 15 hours yesterday with very little variation in temp. I find it odd they are refusing to help you. I’ve had nothing but great customer service from them.

    Rec Tec Bull/Stampede Owners - Rust Issues?

    How are you measuring the actual? Where are you putting the temp probe?

    The New Rec Tec RT-700 Bull Has Arrived

    This is normal. Fan will cycle at 180 for the Xtreme Smoke feature. It lets the pellets smolder to generate more smoke. It will occasionally cycle at other times to maintain the proper temp. Weren’t you having a bunch of issues a couple weeks ago that we addressed? It’s best to just call...

    What’s with Rec Tec?

    https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/RBR50-Connecting-a-device-to-2-4GHz-only/td-p/1546178 According to the thread I posted, whatever device you use to control the RecTec must also be on 2.4. This may be the issue you're experiencing. Your router doesn't have a way to set 2.4 only. It's all...

    What’s with Rec Tec?

    You should be able to add multiple wireless networks with any name you like. Do you have the option to setup a guest network for 2.4 only?

    What’s with Rec Tec?

    You need to give 2.4 and 5 different names. You might also have to pick a channel for the 2.4 network rather than have it set to auto.

    What’s with Rec Tec?

    Hard to say. Sometimes WiFi can be touchy. I know for sure that it will only connect to 2.4ghz. You have to make sure your 2.4ghz and 5ghz networks have different names. Some people use the same name for both and it can cause problems.

    What’s with Rec Tec?

    You’ve got it. I just noticed that. That could also cause an issue with temp spiking as the drip pan being off the lip would mess with the airflow near the temp probe.

    What’s with Rec Tec?

    Your first wide shot looks fine. It’s clearly sloping to the right. The 2nd wide shot doesn’t look correct. It’s not sloping at all. I think you may not be seating the right side fully down into the slot. Pouring some water on it will tell you right away if it’s installed correctly.

    What’s with Rec Tec?

    Oh and cool down mode is what it does when you turn it off. Your photos showing the display with “Fan 288” is the fan running during shutdown. Could you have hit the power button by accident?
  16. ross77

    What’s with Rec Tec?

    Judging by the photos it appears you may have the drip pan reversed. I can’t tell for sure without a wider shot but it appears the gap is getting wider on the left. As for the WiFi, I have a Netgear router and it works with the RecTec. Are you using a 2.4ghz network? It’s not compatible with...

    Rectec vs Grilla vs Yoder

    What are the problems? You listed them out but now you’ve edited out all the details?

    Rectec vs Grilla vs Yoder

    There are only two things that will make the drip pan not work. It’s installed backwards or the grill isn’t level. I had to raise the left side of mine to account for my patio slope.

    Costco Louisiana Grills Series 7 Pellet Vertical Smoker

    I bet they would still take it back. They give the customer the benefit of the doubt unless you really abuse the return policy.

    It’s Costco. Low risk due to their generous return policy.
