I got the Rec Tec 590 and I'm doing the initial start up. I haven't even grilled on it yet and I'm loving this thing, wish I would have pulled the trigger sooner..
Had me worried, it ran for 30 then gave an error. Started the grill back up and the fan didn't kick on, took a pick and gave it a tap and seems be good now..
If you live somewhere its gets good n hot in the summer and or your grill is lots of direct sunlight during your cook and you are trying to maintain a lower temp - bookmark this thread. it'll save you from a freak out. there is an adjustment on the app that is super easy and works great.
also - clean the ash pot every couple few cooks depending on how long they are. I bought a bucket head vac at home depot for cleaning the rec tec. with the ash and all I felt a dedicated inexpensive vacuum was a good plan.
Congrats on the new rig. I also purchased the Stampede right before Christmas. Love it so far.
I did add Lavalock around the edges of the cover. When doing hot searing it would stain around the edges as in pic's.
I just installed and have not used yet. I hope it helps. Lot of hard scrub with Bar Keepers Friend, was able to remove the black soot/heat marks.
This is what I used.
