That's my experience with my RT-700 and why I'm so bummed about my 380X. What is your climate like, I really think my issues with the 380X are due to low temperatures and wind. I'll give it a try again when temperatures are in the 50's or higher. Hopefully it will work well when it is warmer.

Thanks for the reply; so many good suggestions on this forum, I may have to give the B380X another chance using some of them.

Thanks. I haven't tried to light with a torch, but others have mentioned/suggested it. I have repositioned my igniter so it protrudes about 1/16 inch into the firepot.

Thanks for the info. I pretty much do as you suggest except it sounds like you add more pellets that I do and I only do it every third cook or after it fails to light. I'll add more pellets if I use the grill again. One of the attractive features of the Bullseye, to me, was being able to go...

Yeah, I know. I haven't gone the route of lighting with a torch yet. It would be interesting to see whether lighting with a torch resulted in getting to temperature in 15 to 20 min instead of the 40 to 60 I've experienced on cold days when it did ignite. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks for the suggestion. The Recteq customer service reps had me do this. Originally mine, too, was recessed in the tube, but I readjusted it so it protrudes by about 1/16 of an inch. It did seem to improve when I repositioned it, but like I said, the most recent time I tried to use it, it...

Thanks for the suggestions. This is the first I ever heard about cooling down in stages. I follow the manual and push the power button and leave the grill plugged into power until the auger and fan have stopped and the display panel has gone black. If I ever use the grill again, I'll try the...

Yeah, my 700 has never given me any problems, either. I think it's a 380 issue.

Thanks, nice to be here.

Ha Ha, I'm thinking more along the lines of chives, cilantro, basil, etc.

TL;DR In my experience, the Recteq B380X Pellet grill struggles to reach and maintain the set point temperature when the ambient temperature is below 40 degrees F. Recteq customer service says it is operating normally. I disagree. I would recommend looking for a different grill if you plan to...
