Bull BFG auger motor in the RT-700. It's awesome!

[kennethk]

I got my BFG auger motor in the mail today. Will update when I have info to share.

 

[chadinsc]

i talked to rec teq and they said the grill will self limit its self around 600 if left in full. but i have not tested it

 

[chadinsc]

way to go kennethk you will like it i believe. just be sure to have zip ties and set feed rate to 15. let us know how it works

the grill seems to smoke the same as always, in the picture it’s running at 225 and settled in at that temp. im currently burning kingsford signature which doesn’t seem to produce as much smoke as pit boss comp blend. also got some tillamook for testing!

Looking forward to your Tillamook feedback also!

 

[Oldboy]

Is the bfg motor louder than the bull motor?

 

[chadinsc]

the tillamook is now my second favorite ice cream. its was fantastic but its not quite as good as blue bell to me. but thats just like bbq sauce we all like what we like. i will buy it again im sure. and the bfg auger seems to sound just the same as the stock auger. it worked great on pizza last night. i had it at 500 and put two 16s in and temp dropped to 460. within 3 min it was back around 500 and cooked great!

 

[kennethk]

16 minutes to get to 500

 

[chadinsc]

thats fast! mine took about 20 but it wasn’t a hot day. it basically makes a gas grill obsolete though. reverse sears will be so fast now! let us know how it goes for you.

I hope to join you.

Will put the GrillGrates on later and sear some beef filets I bought this morning.
Kroger $8.99 per pound marked down due to tomorrows sell by date.
$46 down to $16 for the package.

looking forward to kennethk’s opinions but so far im happy. doing 3,2,1 ribs today and frist 3hrs i did 225 rather than the more usual 250 hoping to get alittle more smoke flavor at the lower temps.but anyway 3hrs and it flatlined like a stock grill.

 

[Matthew.Cullen]

Great. Now I have something else I want to buy.

Thanks for sharing this @chadinsc, this looks very promising!

Thanks for the good information. I look forward to your report on the low temperature of 180 that you will test.

 

[chadinsc]

with feed rate on 15 it has held all temps perfectly from 180 upto 500.

 

[kennethk]

TODAY - Grilled pork chops on GrillGrates at 400 then smoked a pork belly for bacon at 200 for 3.5 hours.
All is good

 

[kennethk]

Yesterdays Filets on the flat side of the GrillGrates at 500.
All were very good.

I've ordered the BFG auger motor & should get it next week. The ability to get to high temps quickly is quite compelling. I was considering adding a Bullseye to the arsenal, but now, it might not be necessary.

 

[kennethk]

Pizza time

 

[chadinsc]

does it try to stop around 600 like rec teq told me? i haven’t went that far yet. i had 560 and it was still climbing strong but i chickened out

 

[kennethk]

Stopped at 600
