I too have had a similar situation with my 1250. I have only tried the plum wood so far. I'm able to use them low and slow for 20 to 30 minutes on wings with no problems. Then I dropped them in the fryer. They actually have a very nice sweet and Smoky flavor. However, I thought I would try...

Fireboard not thermoworks. Apparently I shouldn't type when I'm half asleep. I'm sure the temperature swings are normal. Even your modern ovens have temperature swings of around 10 degrees. I've monitored my oven previously with my fireboard when completing a pork butt. I don't think it's an...

I spoke to tech-support a couple weeks ago about the android app. I was told that it would be a couple months before they released the same version that is currently on iOS. I too found the temperature not to be accurate in the app. I’ll take it one further and say that the app did not match up...

Pork butt came out great. Sorry but I didn't get a chance to take any pictures of the final product. I was in the middle of a work conference and pulling pork at the same time The drip strips worked great. I have nothing on the front of the grill. Clean as a whistle. Again that was my first...

Mine came pretty quick. I ordered on the first Saturday after it was available and they shipped it out on Monday. Mine arrived my house on the following Thursday. I know where they ship from Georgia and mine ship to West Virginia. Hope that helps.

In case anyone is looking for any foil liners for their grease bucket, Walmart has Pit Boss brand that fit perfectly. They were a little over $3 for a six pack. Just an FYI.

Just coming up to 8 hours into the cook and I am at 153 degrees.

Pork butt went on around midnight. Did have a strange thing where I set the grill to 220 degrees and it seems to fluctuate about 10 to 15 degrees according to my FireBoard. However, when I set it to 225 degrees it seems to be staying much more stable. I do have a slight amount of wind tonight...

Sounds like a few people have had issues with screwing in the horns. I was able to get mine in with an impact but I was getting a bit worried about possibly breaking off the screw. It's not coming out I know that Getting ready to start a pork butt tonight at midnight and let it run overnight...

Thanks. Got a pork butt to do on Thursday. Working from home so figure I can let it rip all day. Anxious to see how it does. Figure I'll start with high smoke around 180 for the first couple hours before jumping up to 220 degrees. I've only done pork butts in a propane Camp Chef smoker and my...

I completed my 400-degree 1-hour burning today. No issues during that. I immediately threw on some burgers. Recteq recommends putting something fatty on for your first cook so I figured I'd kill two birds with one stone, and hey I was hungry. Had burgers with caramelized onions, bacon, avocado...

I did have an issue with the right front leg. The screws would not hand tighten in. I ended up having to use my impact driver to get them in but they did tighten up okay. I also had a problem with the left horn with the same issue. For some reason it would not hand tighten so I had to impact it...

Thank you. Have to run to some customers sites in the morning. Once I get back going to clean up the grates and do my initial burn in. Think I'm going to start with some burgers after that.

Yes the cover does say it is for an RT 700 but it fits. Definitely could have used some assistance putting the PID controller on. It was a little difficult to try to reach in the grill, put the bolts in, hold the controller and put the nut on the bolt. Could have used an extra set of hands for...

My new RT-1250 arrived today. There were some storms coming but I thought that I had time to get out and get the unit assembled. I literally snapped some pictures, threw the cover on and have enough time to run to the garage before the rain started. Assembly took about 2 hours. I will wash the...
