It was a little longer than I wanted initially so I had to cut about 2” off but now it’s perfect. Grill grate

Yeah I did notice that it sends a lot of alerts. I’m sure that’s something RecTec will accept feedback on and adjust accordingly. @Mastertech59 I agree 25 degree temp change would be more appropriate than the 10 or 15 it’s currently set too. Perhaps they can also add a time measurement to that...

Did RECTEC put out an app update for IOS users? I was grilling some salmon on my Stampede the other day and my phone started sending me pre-heat alerts for the grill. During the cook I inserted the temp probe and adjusted the alert settings for the probe. When it hit the intended temp my phone...

This was my solution to adding a second cooking rack. Hope it helps Cook rack

First brisket on the 590.

Thanks, I just did a cook with it yesterday and it worked out well. I noticed that the temps were a little higher (10-15 degrees) on the top rack but that’s not a big deal for me. All in all I’m pleased with the functionality and look. Too answer your question, I cut the 2 inches off because the...

So I did some searching around in stores and on the internet and I couldn’t find a solution for an upper shelf that I liked. So I decided to build my own, it’s not the most elegant design but it will get the job done. I bought 4 - 5” stainless steel carriage bolts, 8 SS flat washers, 12 SS...

Oh man, I never thought to build an attachment that directs all three ports into a smoke stack. That would be awesome, too bad I have zero welding skills lol. My plan is to use some stainless steel plate attached with nut and bolt and then use a hole saw bit to open up the side for smoke stack...

I've been thinking about closing off the three exhaust ports on the 590 and adding a chimney to the right rear. I am curious to know if anybody else has thought to do this or actually tried it? My theory is that this will reduce the amount of fuel used (slightly), increase the amount of smoke in...

OOOPS! sorry read the post wrong. I thought it was a 700 Bull. Good luck getting it sold. Sorry again, I should really learn to read.

Where are you in PA? I'm in Pittsburgh and interested.
