I owned a 680 for 9 year before handing off to my son in Dec then I bought the 1250 and the Bullseye, I never started my old 680 with the lid closed, and I don't start the 1250 or Bullseye with the lids closed. I think RecTeq should say that in their lighting instructions. I have notice that...
Don't try going thru Rec Teq to track your delivery I went to the ESTES web sight to track my grill. You will have to go to shipping history to follow your shipment. ESTES never sent updates to me.
After years of use I handed off my old RT680 to my son and ordered a new Bullseye and RT1250, the Bullseye was shipped FedEx and arrived in a few days the RT1250 was shipped using Estes with an estimated delivery date of the first week of December and to my surprise it showed up yesterday!
