I have had the exact same thing happened I called RECTEC and he told me it is fairly common but it seems like it’s getting worse I’m not really satisfied right now with their customer service I would like for them to send me a new one and see if this happens again I spent a lot of hard earned...
I purchased the RT700 Bull did 2 cooks and deflector is warped to the point the Grease don’t flow to channel calling to get new deflector from rec tec I understand the heating and cooling can indeed cause this issue I’m good as long as they make it right
