You'll love the Bull. You made the right choice!

Welcome to the RecTeq family! I love my Bull and have had zero issues with it. Some thoughts for our OP newbie: Take your time with the assembly, there's no rush. Have plenty of beer on hand. Order a variety of different pellets to get a feel for what you like. I personally use Lumber Jack, and...

My wife was initially a bit skeptical about a Bull purchase. A $1500 grill? Really? But here's what resonated with her: The grill should be thought of as a durable appliance, like a dishwasher or washing machine. It will be with you for a long time, and if you spread the cost out over 10, 15...

Wise choice! You won’t regret it!

I personally like a little bite off the bones. So I've been running with a 3-1-2 approach, 3-1-1 if I'm in a hurry.

@Showdawg, that's a pro move if I've ever seen one!

I too have started to drop the amount of time that I wrap my ribs. I've found that 2 hours causes them to fall off the bone, and it gets to be a mess when slicing. I now only wrap them for an hour in foil so that have a slight bite off the bone. I've also started experimenting with sauces, and...

No problems with Lumber Jack, they're great!

I personally use the Bull just for smoking, then when I'm ready to sear I move the meat over to my gas grill and sear using Grill Grates. I don't use the Bull for searing, but I'm sure you could. By the way, best recipe ever: I sous vide the steak for 2 hours at 115 degrees. Then smoke it...

Smoked prime rib roast. Hoping to get the cold weather cover on Xmas morning! Please Santa, please!

Congrats on the new grill, but I thought Trojans preferred Traegers from Costco... GO BRUINS!!! ;)

I personally love the look of the bull, and it makes me happy every time I take off the cover. On grill space, I'm already running out on the bull, and asked for an interior shelf for Christmas! You would be amazed at how quickly the grill space fills up once you're cooking for two or more...

My favorite accessory is La's Totally Awesome All Purpose Concentrated Cleaner. Melts grease like butter and keeps my Bull sparkling clean...

Build Quality: I own the RT-700 and the build quality is clearly superior to the Traeger, which I have checked out on numerous occasions at Costco (models ranging from $600 through $1200). Generally, the RecTeq will cost you around $100-$200 more (after factoring in the accessories that are...

I use the Bull for smoking, and then I move the meat over to my gas grill with Grill Grates for the final sear. I then let the meat rest. This seems more efficient than removing the meat, cranking the bull up to 500, then searing on the Bull. Plus it uses less pellets, and the Grill Grates get...
