Does the temp in the smaller section get as hot as the bull eye?

Says it's rated to 700° but I would be surprised if you couldn't get it hotter.

It appears they gave more room between the top shelf and top of the smoker. Only complaint on my 1250. Hard to tell without seeing it though.
Did they mention anything about the new controllers?

I didn't see anything about a new controller, I think it's the same they've always had.
Aside from some new names and sturdier legs (something that was definitely needed), it looks to me to be mostly a marketing effort. Yeah, there’s a new pellet griddle and a dual-chamber grill addition, but I really don’t see them as game changers. YMMV

I hate to say it, but I'm a bit disappointed and underwhelmed with these "new" smokers. It's basically the same ones.....for the most part, but I was hoping the 590 would have a second rack, easy access ash pot, direct flame grilling, things others have. Still gonna get another 590/Deck Boss as I'm keeping the original 590 in Wisconsin, and the new one will go to Arizona.
Now, if RT really wanted to do something to improve its product line, it would improve the server situation that keeps dropping out. Now that I finally got my grill to actually connect, it frequently drops out and I lose the connection.
Interestingly enough, my TW Signals is rock solid, regardless of whether it is a busy weekend or not. Connect once and it stays that way until the cook is completed, whether it is just an hour or 20 hours. If TW can do this, RT certainly should be able to. Apparently, it is a matter of priorities.

I would say I agree that not much of a change is the dual fire is probably the only one I would have considered instead of the 1250 I have now, wouldn’t need the sear kit. But it is considerably more expensive than what I got my 1250 for 600 more is that work the direct fire, would be hard to pull that trigger.

Perhaps "BlackTeq" was a bit too edgy for a Georgia-based company...

Drawing a blank Jim, what’s the TW you mentioned?Now, if RT really wanted to do something to improve its product line, it would improve the server situation that keeps dropping out. Now that I finally got my grill to actually connect, it frequently drops out and I lose the connection.

ThermoWorks.
You can I do it all the time with my 1250 or fire box for chips either does well
That’s the dual fire I was at recteq feast
The dual fire is a bullseye and 590 build together
It is a bullseye but a little smaller
Got it. Would have been an interesting option before I got my 1250 but at 20% off the price difference is huge, might get a griddle for searing and still be in under the cost. What did you think of the griddle?
What is the cost?
