My First Recteq RT-1250 Cook

[Jon-WX5NCO]

I got a Recteq RT-1250 for Fathers Day. It was delivered and I got it put together on Wednesday. I did the burn in Thursday morning. Recteq recommends doing something fatty for the first cook, after the burn in, to get everything greased up. They recommend chicken thighs with skin, burgers, or bacon. My store didn't have any thighs with skin, so I opted for wings and bacon. I used the the Recteq Ultimate blend pellets.

I am amazed. I can't wait to try other things in this smoker/grill.

Yes Sir! My goal was to pull the wings at 180° or so, but I got distracted and pulled them about 205°. I was shocked when I got them into the house, had to give one a try, and it was still juicy. My wife doesn't like bacon off the charcoal grill, but she really enjoyed the bacon off of the Recteq.

Same boat as you, just got my 1250 on Tuesday. In the process of my first long cook, 10 hours in.
Super easy

Enjoy yours!!

Really like the second shelf. I have a 590 and the second shelf that RecTeq sells gives very little clearance above the lower grates. Has anyone found a shelf that will fit a 590 and provide more clearance ?

Interested to see if you can sear on this. Thinking about this or the smokefire for
My next grill once my MB Gravity rusts away.
