    Stampede Warped during first smoke at 400 degrees.

    Even though I set up my profile as "Luck Bull" it proved to not be the case. I bought a brand new one and quickly found out it was junk. I messed with it for a year, consulted with Customer Support but never got my problems resolved. I finally sold it. Not knocking the whole company but rather...

    Stampede Still Happy…..Stampede Owner

    Sensitive, aren't we? Just stating the facts, my friend. Ignore me, I don't care.

    Stampede Still Happy…..Stampede Owner

    I'm just throwing in my two cents worth. I would never own another RT product again. I was so happy when I bought my 590 and for a while I just used it like a grill for steaks, chicken and burgers. Then when I tried using it as a smoker, it would not keep a constant temp range very well...

    Stampede Lo Temp Reality

    Yeah, I was led to believe my RT-590 would keep stable temps throughout the whole temp range but it has never been the case. After several sessions with customer support and some replacement parts were sent and installed and adjustments made...it made no difference. But after 2 major let downs...

    Bullseye Disgusted new owner

    I bought an RT590 2 years ago and had the same problem. The grill arrived damaged. The box had been hit so hard that it broke the straps securing it to the pallet. The box had several holes in it with packaging hanging out. It looked to be completely destroyed from the outside. Upon opening I...

    Stampede Question before I sell my 590 and get a stick burner

    Yeah, I would use it for a boat anchor, if I were you! My 2 year old RT-590 is just collecting dust in the corner of my garage. I can't even sell it around here. I hate to throw $1300 on the dump but it's in my way. I won't even give it to charity because it would be cruel.

    Stampede Worried it will come broken/damaged...

    My RT-590 arrived like it had been in a demolition derby. Never worked right...even with a new controller and sensor. Just taking up space at my house because I can't even sell it.

    Stampede Planning on getting RT-590, Some Questions

    I wouldn't get this for smoking. If you are looking to keep accurate temps, I can tell you from my experience, it doesn't work well. I had temp swings with two critical cooks that were unacceptable causing the cooks to be done way too soon and the meat over done. They tried to fix it but were...

    RecTeq mistake (big one)

    I'm with you, bud...I bought a new RT-590 and it arrived like it had been in a demolition derby. I was thinking of RecTeq when I looked at what I could see of the inside and didn't see any damage so I didn't reject the shipment. That was my big mistake! It never worked correctly and they did...

    Ever have buyers regret?

    Big time regret on buying my 590 and accessories. Basically have a $1300 pile of junk. owned it for a year and I still can't sell it at a substantially reduced price.

    Stampede Installed Power Cord - Come on, really!!

    You're lucky your power cord is your only problem. I'm so disgusted with my RT-590 that I'm practically giving it away after less than a year of use. My experience was nothing like the experience they would have you believe from their advertising. It's sitting in the corner of my garage and I've...

    Bull Cold Weather Smoke - Results

    Lucky you! I've had 2 major failures on 2 holiday cooks recently, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Ruined a turkey and a VERY expensive prime rib roast. My RT590 would not hold the set temp at all. Been that way since new and the company replaced the controller and main probe. Still have the same...

    Pellets wont stay lit in smoker tube?

    I'm sure you have checked the pellets to be sure they are dry and haven't been in any humidity. I find that I have to tap my tube on the table as I fill it to compact them together. Then I use my propane torch and hold it on the end and sides of the tube to get it it lit good. Then I stand my...

    Help me make up my damn mind... RT 700 or the 590?

    Personally, I would tell you to do some more shopping, look at other brands. I bought a 590 a year ago and I'm giving it away because it's useless to me. I'm not saying they're all bad but the one I got absolutely would not perform how I needed it to in many different cooking styles. In the...
