Buying a new grill is a big decision, so if you’re still unsure as to whether or not the RT-700 is a good fit for you, we have a few other resources that might be helpful. So you get the ease of use factor combined with a little bit of delicious wood fired flavor with a pellet grill. The REC TEC grill lineup is nice and simple. You’ve got the RT-700 which is the largest, and then the RT-590 is the mid-size option and the RT-340 is for smaller families or for tailgating. The most popular RT-700 bundle also includes a custom grill cover, two grill mats, and 200 pounds of wood pellets to get your supply started.

About T-Rex Grilles

The grill is built like a tank with heavy-duty stainless steel. Everything seals well and you shouldn’t have any problem holding stale temperatures.

The RT-700 is easily one of the best grills in its price range. It’s better built than Traeger and will hold temp better. Whenever I write these analysis/review articles on different pellet grill/smoker brands, I like to provide some context on how the companies started. The beauty of pellet grills is that you can achieve wood fired flavor without the hassle of managing a fire, thanks to wood pellets as your source of fuel. The RT-700 is an extremely efficient burner of pellets compared to other grills – on average it burns a pound of pellets per hour. Not only that, but the hopper capacity is 40 pounds of pellets at once which dwarfs many other competitors. That’s a total of 40 hours of cooking to utilize for each full hopper!

The Bullseye (also known as RT-B380) is REC TEQs smallest pellet grill. In fact, this is one of the smallest/most lightweight pellet grills on the market today.

Last but not least, this video outlines the process for assembling the Rec Tec 700. As far as assemblies go it’s not too bad if you follow the instructions in the video. Unlike a lot of grill manufacturers (cough Traeger cough), it’s rare to find any disgruntled REC TEC owners online. RT-700 Smokebox – a cold smoker that attaches to your grill and lets you cold smoke cheese and other foods. Or add extra smokey flavor to your meats! You get two meat probes that plug directly into the grills controller. If you prefer to use an aftermarket thermometer, there is a convenient probe port hole so you don’t need to close the lid over your probe wires.

OUR OTHER GRILLS

As you can see the list is extensive, and all of this quality stainless steel translates directly into performance and longevity. Compared to most other brands, Rec Tec blows it out of the water when it comes to build quality. You can expect maybe a handful of the above components to be stainless steel on other brands’ grills. No corners were cut at all in the construction of the RT-700. Cooking Features Personally, the functionality and features of their smaller/compact/portable grills, such as the Bullseye and RT-340 really appeal to me. As a pellet grill of sufficient size to cook for all your friends and family though, the RT-700 is where its at when it comes to price/value. The app performance has been a little less solid. The app currently has a 2.9/5 rating on Android and a 3.7/5 on Apple. During a long cook, it can become sluggish and stop displaying changes. The Rec Tec 700 is a top notch pellet grill. It’s sturdily constructed, versatile, and gives you the sort of precision with your cooks that you simply just won’t find with many other types of grills. By now, I hope you feel like you have all of the information you need after this Rec Tec 700 review to know whether or not it’s the right grill for you.

We spend a lot of time researching, testing, and communicating with different grill and smoker manufacturers. From what I can see, it’s extremely rare to come across an unhappy RecTeq customer – not surprising considering the quality of both their products and customer service. Rec Tec RT-700 Review I actually kind of like this mentality, as you don’t have to sit around waiting and hoping for the product to go on special. Grill assembly The RT-700 boasts one of the best temperature ranges of any pellet grill on the market; it’s possible to easily maintain temperatures between 200°F and 500°F on this grill. That’s a wide, versatile range for you to work with. You can also precisely set your temperature in 5° increments across that entire temperature range, which gives you way more control than most other brands pellet grills allow (Traeger for example only has the ability to set temperature in 15° increments).However, each to their own, and if you have the space and the coin, sure consider upgrading to the BFG. Just note, as shown in the video above, it is also a heavy grill, we’re talking 500 plus pounds! My Final Thoughts On REC TEQ Pellet Grills/Smokers Also known as “The Bull” you’ll notice a few bull themed features on this grill, most notably the logo and bull horn lid handles. Aesthetics and Build The thing to remember with the build quality of this grill is that everything, and I mean everything, is constructed with a high quality stainless steel. Here’s the extensive list of all stainless steel parts:
