Bullseye Bullseye Power Cable Management

[Hilbe]

I've been working on something to hide the excess power cable on my Bullseye. Will be 2 parts that hook under the pellet hopper and in theory should be completely hidden. Just wrap your extra wire around it and you'll be set.

Pretty excited to not have a nest of wires behind my grills and nice/tight look. Will hopefully have a working prototype later today.

Preview of the cable wrapping point.

Will it hold the Bullseye cord with a 25 foot extension cord attached?

Wow that's a lot of cable. I just had just intended to hide the extra cable included with the grill.

How does that attach?

It attaches by magnet.

Cool tool. I'm going for something more low profile/hidden. I don't want people to see my cables when it's sitting on my deck.

Understand that. I wish your 3D printer could make a Bullseye competition cart! LOL

That's pretty nice.

I've thought about adding a retractable power cord reel to my recteq bull, but just haven't got around to doing it yet.

Here is a cord holder that Brand X sells as an accessory.

Do you have a link for that cord holder? I like that setup as well, looks very strong and stable.

That one looks pretty good too. I'm not a fan of drilling into my grill though. Assume you use that with your magnet? There are some mods for second shelves on the RT-700 that require holes in the barrel. No thanks to permanent modifications to the beauty.

Going to try to make my own with it mounting under the hopper so you can't even see it from the back. All parts slide/snap together so can easily be removed/back to stock.

I've made a handful of prototypes so far, haven't got one I'm satisfied with yet.

Thank you sir. $7.00 that's a steal.

Yep. I was going to order one when I almost bought a Silverbac AT.

I’m getting closer. Here’s what I’ve got so far. Printing a bigger wrap right now to fit more cable. Will be black on finished version too.

Great choice going with a recteq instead.

Well it was a close call. Mark the boss at Grilla Grills has a good reputation for service too. I really liked the Silverbac AT. Had lots of neat accessories and nice cart. But it didn't have WiFi and didn't care for the control panel. RT's control panel is much nicer and easy to read and of course it has WiFi. Also RT gives a discount for accessories for veterans and first responders.

Just some minor fitment tweaks left. I might move it further under the hopper - there are many slots to attach to.

Looks nice @Hilbe.
