RT-1250 Sear Kit - RT-700/RT-1250

[Barbells and BBQ]

I was just curious, what temps do y'all set your smoker? I had mine set to about 450, and after about 10 to 15 minutes, they registered around 500 degrees.

Does anyone just turn it all the way to 'High'?

I know you are running a 1250, but I suspect you will need to give them more than 10-15 minutes to heat up. On my Bullseye, which is about the only grill I use the grates on anymore, a set temp of 500* will give me 650* on the GrillGrates.

Makes sense! Thanks!

On my 340 I would use the full setting when searing. However, I tried that on my 1250 and thought I was going to burn a hole in my drip pan. It was molten red. So definitely never doing that again.

Doing a pizza tomorrow night. RecTeq recommends full-on heat. I'll let you know how it goes.
