rt-700

Did some ribs tonight on the Bull. Everything started fine, but about 3 hours into the cook the Bull starts running at 260 instead of the 225 where I had it set. So for grins, I dropped it to 180 to see what happens. She stayed right on 260 area. I then shut it down and restarted. 180 set and...

Hello all, I am looking to buy a RT-680 or RT-700 in AZ. With Christmas coming up hopefully someone is upgrading and wants to get rid of their old one. Let me know.

I'd like to smoke some salt for xmas presents this year. How would i go about doing that on the bull if i don't have the smoker box? Should i buy it to be able to do that?

Hi from south Louisiana. Was wondering how many butts you can smoke on a rt700. I have 9 to cook was wondering if I need to do 2 cooks. I do have the second shelf. I can raise it up by adding something to the bottom of the folding legs to give me the extra height. Any pointers I just got my bull...

Hi I have owned my 590 for most of a year and usually use a smoke tube with it as it dosnt produce a lot of smoke on its own(maybe more on low) any way I got my bullseye 3 days ago and she smokes like crazy on low, 225, and, 250. Also it’s that really great blue smoke too and it seems like it’s...

Trying to decide between the 700 or 590. It’s just me, my wife and son. I really like the look and build of the 700 with the smoke stack. Just done know if i need something that big. Any suggestions?

I like to think of myself as a reasonably intelligent person. I run a business, do my own taxes, and I don't listen to drunks or politicians. But I cannot figure out how to get the cover on or off efficiently. Sure I'll get it eventually, but it's a bit of a struggle. Any tips on what works...

After three years with a Traeger, I got the RT700 on Thursday. First cook this afternoon (Friday) - 4-pound tomahawk ribeye. After reading through this forum, I first put on the hi-temp felt seal on all four sides of the lid. No smoke at all at any point of lid meeting grill. However, noticed...

Simple SPOG rub and 6.5hrs at 250’ on RT-700. Wrapped in butcher paper for 1hr rest. Turned out fantastic beefy, tender, moist. Will be doing these again.

Todays cookout: St. Louis pork ribs on the RT-700, 3-2-1 method with Texas dry rub and bbq sauce on the side. They had a nice bite, tender and juicy. Accompaniments were homemade potato salad, corn on the cob, and homemade peach pie with vanilla ice cream. I also smoked some Cheez-its with...

I have had the Bull for a few weeks. So far I have made a boston butt, prime rib and two baby back rib dinners. All have come out great. The Prime Rib was one of the best I have had. I wanted to try pork chops which can be dry and bland if your not careful. My wife even enjoyed them and she...

I tried some chicken. I soaked it first in Zesty Italian dressing, then coated one side in Simply Marvelous cherry rub. The other side was covered in Kosmos Honey Killer Bee. I put the Bull at Xtreme smoke for 40 minutes. I should have did an hour in Xtreme, but I was short on time. Then up to...

My new Bull arrives next week and I'm so pumped! The cover is unfortunately sold out. I intend to purchase a smokebox at some point....perhaps it'll be a Christmas present! Could I use the cover designed for the grill w/ a smokebox? I'd hate to spend $85 on a cover (when they are back in stock)...

My first pellet grill is on the way! I ordered the Bull but the cover is not in stock. I live in the country in South Dakota where we get every imaginable type of weather. Should I tarp or after market cover the grill until the RT covers come back in stock? Or, will it be fine to let it “streak“...

My new RT700 with competition crate are arriving this week. RecTec is out of most of the options I wanted such as front shelf, searing kit and cover. I moved to KY yesterday and there is a lot more rain than California. I really want to at least get the searing kit/gratesand cover asap. Where...

Hello! I just got my 700 and I’ll assemble it this week. I have a Thermapen already. The Bull has 2 probes, correct? Everyone I watch on YouTube is using a third party thermometer with alarm. Why not just use the ones it came with? https://www.thermoworks.com/smokex This is on sale today...

Finally decided to take the plunge and did my first brisket. I used Aaron Franklin’s book as a guide to trimming mine for the first time. Turned out pretty good, the flat was a little dry, so need to figure out how to improve that. Overall a pretty good experience for my first brisket.

Grill showed up last night, got it assembled, and did not hesitate to smoke some brisket, spare ribs, and Mac! This Bull is a magical being. Best brisket I’ve ever had, and it was my first one! We all know the cook is the hardest one to impress, and I was blown away.

but have to work those 12 hour shifts all weekend.

Considering buying my son and wife a special anniversary present. I have the bull and am considering getting them either the bull or the 590. Of course there is some $ savings on the 590, but any other real differences? Thanks-
