Received my new Bullseye yesterday, did my first cook tonight (Spatchcock chicken) and it turned out great. Had a shipping issue and Recteq customer service is living up to their billing and solving the problem.
I have a question about temperature control. On the burn-in it overshot to over 600 degrees, then ramped down to the 340s. After about 45 minutes it reached 400 and stayed there. I attributed that to the auger not being full and rushing to get pellets to the fire box. This morning I did another test and it overshot by about 50 degrees before throttling back. I took about 30-35 minutes to stabilize. I had heard it gets to temp in about 15 minutes, but I'm not seeing that. Is it typical to take a half hour or so to stabilize the temp?
