    Grill not heating up

    It's been my experience that the pellets the auger puts in the fire pot during shutdowns normally all burn off. Not sure why they don't auger the pellets in at start up when everything is cold. The grill still starts for me 99% of the time with doing nothing but pushing the start button.

    FYI: 590 now includes 3rpm motor and cast-iron deflector

    BFG auger motor in the RT-700. It's awesome!

    I put the 3rpm motor on my 590. Been using it for a month or more mainly doing chicken at 310. Its awsome for temps above 250. Tried doing some ribs last weekend set on 180.

    RT-590 Hot Spot??

    I used 2 fire bricks opposite of the auger. Also have 4 more - 2 on each side under my modified 590 grates for my 2nd shelf. The right side is no longer hotter than the left. I originally was only going to use the fire bricks opposite the auger until I had the idea of using the fire bricks to...

    Which Interior Shelf for RecTeq grill?

    So I don't normally post anything as I don't want anyone telling what a crumby idea that is or it wont work. This works for me. The right side of my 590 always runs hotter. I decided to put 2 fire bricks opposite of the auger. Also used 2 more fire bricks on each side of the grates as the base...
