Recteq changed the firmware/controller on the RT-1250. One of the outcomes is that the new controller allows the RT-1250 to get up to 700ish degrees. The previous controller on the RT-700 limited the max temperature to the 600s. But you’re right in the fact that the max temperature isn’t controlled by the MFR.The feed-rate has nothing to do with how hot the grill gets. It is what sets the minimum amount time the auger feed pellets into the fire pot which is setting how low a temperature the grill can maintain without getting a flameout.
The 3 rpm motor puts about 50% more pellets in the fire pot than the 2 rpm motor does So you can set the feed-rate lower and not get a flameout.
The 1250 can hit 700+ degrees when the auger is running 100% of the time with the 3 rpm motor because it is able to dump more pellets into the fire pot than the stock 2 rpm motor does that comes with the 700.
