Need grill in addition to my 700

[Enimo]

I had a 390 (I think it was) and it was too small so I gave it to my son and bought a 700. The 700 doesn't get as hot and really loses heat as soon as you open. I love the 700 but want to add another grill for charing when reverse searing, etc. I am also adding a griddle and will probably get the Blackstone. What are some of your setups? Thanks

In addition to my Recteq Trailblazer (RT-340), I have a Napoleon Prestige 500RSIB gas grill for the hot cooks. I’ve always had a gas grill along with a smoker of some sort (pellet, stick burner, etc.). Different tools for different jobs.

I have a Webber Summit 4 burner that I love and a large Big Green Egg. If I had the space I would add a Blackstone.

I have a Bullseye that I use for high temp cooks. I just added a cast iron grate to it and it is a searing machine.

I love my Bull & Bullseye combo. I think you can do just about it all with those two. Bullseye can smoke but excels in high heat cooks. To me and my preference, I would way rather have a Bullseye than a gas propane grill for the price. Sure, if I had a top end gas grill like a Napelon or top of the line Weber, but you're talking like double the price of the Bullseye.

I do have the griddle for the Bullseye and it does do a good job. The one downside compared to a blackstone type is you don't really have a cool side to put food off to the side.

Last summer I got a Weber Kettle b/c they are cheap and sometimes you want some extra smoke flavor in some foods. While either RecTeq(Bull or Bullseye) can do the same thing, just not as well as a weber with wood/charcoal.

I also have a camp Chef Yukon 2 burner which I have the griddle for also. A Blackstone or any type of 3 or more burner flattops are better than what I have but I like the Yukon b/c I can take off the griddle and just use the burners for whatever like deep frying in a cast iron dutch oven.

If I was in your shoes, I would no doubt get a Bullseye b/c I was a few years ago in your shoes. Another nice thing about the Bullseye is if you have any Weber 22.5 accessories, most work with the Bullseye. For example. I have the weber rotassrie which I've used on my Weber and on my Bullseye.

Good luck with whatever you decide.

I have a Weber Genesis gas grill for searing and any high temp cooks. I think the best steaks I have cooked at home are reverse seared. It is also very handy to do some sides while big proteins are slow smoking on the bull.

Bullseye! I just sold my Weber Genesis with a full set of GrillGrates after not using it for 14 months after getting the Bullseye.

I have a Bull, 4 burner Blackstone, Vermont Castings 5 burner (that's over 15 years old and still going strong). I also have a Lang 50" offset, but living in Colorado, I have no wood for it. I had a great GOSM stainless model until a storm took it out. On a side note, I'd love to have all of this in a black stainless color instead of the regular stainless steel. I don't know why manufacturers don't do something like that.

I have the Webber Genesis and my 700 was a fire and stick smoker got tired of inconsistent smokes.

I have a RecTeq RT-700 as my pellet grill. I have the Grilla Grills’ Primate as my gasser. I can swap out the grates on it with its cast iron flattop/plancha…when I want to do breakfasts, stir fries, cheesesteaks w/peppers & onions, smash burgers, etc. I put the grates in when I reverse sear steaks…cooking at 275 on the 700 til 125 degrees F, then, searing on the Primate.

I understand the addiction. Not visible in my picture (above) is my Blackstone Tailgater, mini-two burner camping grill, portable Camp Chef 3 burner griddle, 5‘ 1988 vintage New Braunsfel Vertical Stick Burner, Weber Kettle Grill, Kenmore Elite 6 Burner SS gasser, Santa Maria grill, or my collection of over 30 vintage (1904-1960) cast iron (mostly Griswold and Sidney 0) cooking devices. I don’t have any excuses for the constant hoarding other than to say I’ve been cooking on fire longer than the age of most people on this site, haha. My only saving grace is that most of it is in my NC house. I recently got back from Mallorca and saw a couple of devices I am thinking of buying that are not typically used in the US to round out the collection.
