Matador Will the Matador make a return?

What do you think? Since the last turkey day deal she has disappeared like a shadow in the night.

IMHO, I'm surprised that grill was actually released for sale by RT.

Everything I have read is the burners / heat is a major underachiever. I mean feedback at other sites not only here.

For that money I'd go with a Camp Chef or Blackstone flat top grill.

I kind of am too honestly.. if it were not for the deal I would not have paid $$ for it. I am keeping it and have made a few nice meals on it so far. It gets hot but only really directly over the burner. Some ways it is good and others bad. I would have rather had % off on accessories or other choices.

Is what it is I guess. I am thinking she is done myself.

I'd like to get my grubby paws on one to try the natural gas conversion.

Back in stock now on the RecTeq site. Did they make improvements to it??

Looks the same and the online manual is the same, so I’m guessing it is unchanged.

WOW!! My $$ was on it being gone forever! I figured that giveaway was the end. I guess I lost this round

Yeah, I agree.

I replaced the burner on mine with a King Kooker #CF23. Now I am happy! Four feet flames if you desire.

Wow.. that things looks like a beast! Can you share more info on mounting etc., pictures? Will the flames come up more than just the center?

Ditto on wanting more info, pictures, please! Also, if you looked at other burners and then ruled them out, that info would be helpful also.

Was the give away driven to remove stock with the old logo/name on it?

Good point

IDK.. I guess it is possible like with the Bull. It still has all the old names on it as well. Guess we need someone new to purchase and compare notes

How is that working out with the King Kooker burner? Was it an easy replacement? How many BTU do you think it is now
