So it appears this was mostly my fault for over-priming the firepot initially. I ran a 225 test this afternoon with just the pellets in the firepot left after shutdown this morning - no crazy overshoot and varied between 223-228 with long periods right at 225. Dialed the set temp up to 400 and...

Is it normal for the temp to overshoot on startup?

OK - had a great discussion with Adam @ Recteq this morning. We went through checking several things and then tried another run at 250F. I had cleaned out the firepot and reprimed it, and when I started this run the temp overshot to 285 and then gradually came down to 250 +/- 5 where it remained...

I'm sure I will, could be something stupid I was doing. I'll report back after talking to Recteq.

My 590 arrived today about 5:15, pallet got dumped in the yard and I went to work unpacking and assembling. No apparent damage in shipping, got it put together and wheeled it to the garage for burn-in. A couple observations about assembly: 1) Phillips head bolts ?!!!! Really, Recteq? Couldn't...

My pallet (grill and pellets) is here in Orlando at the freight terminal - delivery is set for tomorrow afternoon! Went to Costco today and came back with a 2-pack of boneless pig butts and baby-back ribs. Went to a local butcher for some of their fresh bratwurst and Italian sausage. Probably...

Late Friday. SEFL would have delivered tomorrow, but I have something else I need to do. I'm in FL, so it's just a few hours drive from Augusta.

Thx, If you are anywhere in the southeast, yours should arrive this week as well. They are using SEFL for mine and they're pretty quick in their service area.

Just arranged delivery on mine for Wednesday afternoon! Guess I need to go shopping for some meat at Costco tomorrow :)

Exactly

New RT-590 owner (ordered Friday, waiting on shipping notification) living in central Florida. Amazingly, I have never owned a smoker, had many grills and have done a few low and slow cooks on a Weber Kettle in the past. Currently cooking on a Weber Genesis and Camp Chef stove with cast iron...

As to the potential app issues (I'm on iOS, not Android, so it's not clear if this will affect me), Even if I end up buying something like a Fireboard 2 to take over temp monitoring, I'm still under $1000 for a smoker whose construction/materials is above its price class.

I just ordered a 590 and had a conversation about this with a Recteq guy on the phone. The vent design was changed and... 1) there are multiple horizontal "slots" instead of the 3 larger openings 2) each of the slots has a little "hood" that is stamped directly into the rear panel, sort of like...
