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. Its actually smaller than most portable pellet grills. Though the Bullseye is not really designed as a portable/tailgating grill, the slightly larger RT-340 discussed below is more suited for that use. 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.

In 2009, lifelong friends Ray Carnes and Ron Cundy founded RecTeq Grills out of their passion for grilling and smoking. They thought the equipment they used day in and day out could be better – so they did something about it. That’s just not the case with the Rec Tec 700 – it’s literally built to last a lifetime and is crafted with the utmost quality, precision, and attention to detail. The RT-700 specifically comes with an industry leading 6 year warranty. That’s an incredibly long coverage period, and certainly unmatched by other pellet grill manufacturers. Extras 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 second technology feature worth looking at is the RT-700’s connectivity with the Rec Tec Grills smartphone app. Pretty much everything you could need to monitor or do with your grill can be managed from the app.The Rec Tec 700 is the perfect grill for you if you’re the type who values both quality and convenience. 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. 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. Legs could be more stable – Considering the overall quality of the grill, the legs could fit better. Not a major issue but you can notice a bit of wabble when you are cleaning the grate. Basic app functionality – You can use the app to change the temperature and monitor the temp of your food, but it would be nice if you could program different temp settings based on time. There is also no option to save the temp graphs.

That’s it! Thanks for reading, I hope you found my analysis of the REC TEQ pellet grill range interesting, you may also be interested in my REC TEQ error codes article.At the end of the day, you should think about you budget, the types of foods you plan to cook, and what you want your grilling and smoking experience to be. From there, figuring out which grill is best for you will be pretty easy. 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! We also think that a generous warranty is a signal of competence from the manufacturer. A long warranty says “our products are high quality and we stand behind that claim”. It’s a way the manufacturer can put their money where their mouth is. Second is the inclusion of an automatic grill lighting feature that illuminates your cooking area automatically. This comes in extremely helpful for grilling sessions after the sun has gone down. No more fumbling around with your phone’s flashlight or purchasing an extra grill light. Technology REC TEQ really is playing a strong game to compete against the mass market ‘big boys’ of Pit Boss and Traeger. Neither of those brands is offering pellet grills with stainless steel cooking chambers and PID/WiFi controllers at this price point.

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! From what we hear customer service is excellent. You can always get a real human on the phone if you have any issues with your grill.

For instance, it didn’t feature a stainless steel body/lid, which the current version does and is a welcome improvement. Furthermore, the control panel on the first version of the Bullseye wasn’t really a control panel in the traditional sense at all. 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). All of the REC TEQ pellet grills (except the Bullseye) also come with WiFi integration. As Ray/Ron stated in their video above, WiFi is superior to Bluetooth, which is found on some pellet grills ( Cuisinart/ Pit Boss).
