For the price of the 1250, honestly I’d just keep having RecTeq ship you new units until you get one that’s not damaged, especially since it’s clear you just want a comp cart to be happy. How many 1250s do they have to send you before the comp cart would have just been easier for them? Are they...

Yea after I saw this post I panicked and ran out to mine to look. I cooked a pizza and mine got so hot the stainless barrel turned almost brown/yellow after only a few minutes. Was able to get it off (mostly) with Bar Keepers Friend. I didn’t notice any bubbling on the powder coat, but there are...

Hey just a follow up: you said you tried to get them to send you a competition cart, but even if they did, the completion cart doesn’t replace the black section directly under the barrel where your issue was. The comp cart only replaces the legs and bottom shelf- the grill body itself will still...

I’ve always foiled my 590 and now my 1250….. until today. Got tired of taking the grate off to change the foil, and decided to just start scraping instead. As easy as the foil makes cleanup, I could damn near as quickly scrape the bare drip tray in the time it takes me to crumble the old foil...

I sold it on December 22nd and marked this post as sold.

I love it. I’m 100% sold on it. To be honest, I’ve been a Weber guy for years. I own Weber kettles, the performer, gasser, and the smokey mountain. The 22” WSM has been my workhorse smoker and I never wanted to admit anything short of an expensive offset could compete, but I think I like the...

Yea I kind of felt the same way! Seems like the grommet would be more effective on the actual cook chamber side vs the shelf, but at least you know that yours isn’t missing anything 👍

After having the 590 for a couple of months I decided to jump to the 1250. Took advantage of the Christmas discount and it was shipped via SEFL. They were actually on point with the delivery / communication and the box and grill were in good shape. I was able to get it unboxed and assembled by...

Hey Eric, are you talking about a grommet that’s in the barrel right underneath the probe sensor? Or are you talking about the grommet in the side shelf? I just assembled my 1250 and I also have no grommet in the actual cook chamber, just a hole. I did have to feed the wires through a grommet in...

I have a 2 month old 590 and I’m planning to purchase the 1250, so this one needs to go so I don’t get divorced. I have the RecTeq cover and just added the front shelf, which had been sold out for awhile. Located just south of Atlanta. Let me know if you have any questions. $600
