If you want a challenge, try assembling one of these grills ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxCx5fHawkK9OoV-ojFrY8JLnZrFwAmvUt . I am a technician by trade and the technical instructions were easy to follow. No reading, just pictures and diagrams. You assemble everything in 5 steps from the bottom up. Step #1 - Assemble 4 Legs and Wheels; Step #2 - Add the Front Cover and Cross Bars to support the frame; Step #3- Assemble the Burner to the Lower Grill Housing and install the knobs; Step #4 - Install the Side Burner and side shelf; and Finally Step #5 - Install the Upper Char- Broil Lid, Cooking Racks, 3 Burner Railings and Lid Handle. That's It and you're done in about 2 hours and 40 minutes. You have the option to pay for assembly after making the purchase - I would strongly suggest that you take it if you don't want to be bothered with this challenge. The only tool I used was a Phillips head screwdriver and a standard pair of pliers. The grill cost a little more because of the side burner, but this is what makes the grill so versatile and popular among backyard grillers. Have fun and enjoy!
I have 3 RecTeq’s including this model. Big miss on this one… they didn’t design a cover and if you don’t have a roof water gets in that hopper and ended up ruining my motor. As always, their support was great to replace, but a huge pain in the ass. I bought another brand cover and so far so good. Lastly, it’s way too tight inside the smoker.
Agree, I like this unit but after using it more, I sold it to my cousin and he stores it in his garage! The only thing that seems cheap on this pit, is the cart itself! Thanks for watching!!
I feel like a traitor now!!! hahahaha No I think this pit is awesome for the people that want to have on outdoor kitchen!!! Thanks for watching Jeff!!!
Awesome video as always, I have a stainless steel outdoor kitchen and a couple of my grills are stainless steel and the best cleaner I have found is 50/50 mixture of water and vinegar in a spray bottle. All credit goes to my wife, that is what she uses on our appliances in the house. Just di a deep spring cleaning on my outdoor kitchen and it works grat and is cheap.
Heck ya Curtis! I have used vinegar and water on the stainless in the house! Lately I have been using Zep because it seems to work good too!! I will give the ole 50/50 a try on the pits too! Thanks for watching brother!!
I really enjoy this model just because of the looks. I’m a sucker for all stainless construction. Love the front hopper that doubles as a third hand. I’m torn on which model I want
Gave it to my cousin and he loves it! Only a couple things that bothers me is how hot the front shelf gets, no pellet dump, and the grease catch is a pain to clean out. As far as cooking on it, it does a great job! Thanks for watching!
HAhahahah ya that is why I have them!!! I need a break and got other stuff to do inlife!!!! hahaha Thanks for watching Rus!!! Have fun in Memphis brother!!!
It's great you the type of children that enjoy and have the know how to unbox and assemble the new pits. It gives you more time to attend to the more "administrative" duties of the project!!! You banging-it Ricer, keep it up. Later my man.
HAhahahaha ya Papa I was busy and needed a break! It worked so good I decided to have them do it again for the next video!!!! hahahaha Like always brother, I appreciate you always watching and leaving a comment!! Have a great week!!
Join their mailing list! I missed out on the first batch but be ready once they announce it because they are going fast! Every week they have been coming up for sale on the site the past couple weeks!!! Thanks for watching!!
Ya dude I am busting at the seems but my neighbor has room in his garage so I might need to roll a couple down there!!! Thanks for watching brother!!! One more pit to share with the Nation and then we can get back to some cook vidoes too!!
Hahahahaha I know Jerry that is all I have done for the past month but after tomorrow I should be able to get a few other types of videos rolling again!!! Thanks for watching brother!!!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ Thanks for another response. I don't know how you find the time to cook on all these different machines! This will be my first purchase and just trying to get the best value. Thanks again
Heck ya Bobbi!!! I like this pit and someday I hope to have an outdoor kitchen so this pit has a place to sit!!! Thanks for watching and all your support!!!
You can burn it off first and then add the spray but honestly I have burnt off so many grills in my life I just care about getting a little seasoning inside so it is easier to clean up. I used to do it that way but all you are doing is burning a little bit of machining oil and just because it is machining oil doesn't mean it blows away. It burns on to the metal the same way as pam does. All you are doing is burning it up and I am not in the mood to runa burn off for another 2 hours to end up with the same results. Thanks for watching!
I was looking at the RT-590 but I don’t know anymore. Your videos made it clear you’re not the biggest fan of RT lol. I just want a 500-600 sq inch pellet grill under 1000k that won’t fall apart after a few years. Any suggestions?
I have been testing out 3 Camp Chef models the past few weeks. I am pretty impressed with their pits!! I am very impressed with the new APEX but that is out of your price range. Look at their other models and if you can swing it the Woodwind Pro 24" is a pretty nice pit! I like the RecTeq pits but they are a cult and I love to bash them for it!!! hahaha
I have last year's Stealth and the Camp Chef Woodwind Pro. If I was to only have one, I would buy the Pro but with the sidekick griddle. I really enjoy running that pit. Thanks for watching!
Congrats ricer on another great pit. Looking forward to its first cook. You are correct RT does seem to have that cultic following. Best of luck with her
Heck ya Brian! I picked this pit up for a future outdoor kitchen unless I get sick of it and sell it before I ever get it built! hahaha But I like this pit and so far has ran pretty good! Thanks for watching brother!
Almost sold me. Anyone know the interior height? I like to use the beer can chicken rack and am curious if it will fit for your average size bird. grill looks solid!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ thanks for the reply. I just bought the 1070 built-in for a backyard kitchen. First time pellet grill owner so I’ll be watching a lot of your vids. 👍
Awesome!!! HAve fun with that pit!!! That thing gets CRAZY hot!!! I have done some dang good BBQ off it but no full videos yet! Only complaint I have with it, the drip pan is pretty flimsy. Thanks for watching and remember that you can still kind of do the same cooks even if I did it on another pit!!!!!
I sold it already. It is a nice pit but a couple things I didn't like. The grease catch tray sucks and a messy to clean out. The grates are suppose to fit in the bottom cabinet but mine don't. There is no pellet dump and I am not a fan of scooping them out. The pellet hopper gets really hot to the touch even when you are just at smoking temps. It cooked fine but after I used it 5 or 6 times it became less appealing to use it. Thanks for watching!
I certainly would! The LSg is a lifetime pit! Plus the Fireboard controller is one of the best in the pellet grill market! You might have to pay a little more and wait a little longer for it to come but it is American made and built like a tank!
Considering this for an outdoor kitchen. Having never owned a pellet grill/smoker got a dumb question. Obviously one can smoke on this, could this also be used to grill? If it's a grill/smoker and I can use a cast iron to sear it's essentially an all in one? They have a griddle add on so I suppose I could do that too. Any thoughts?
This pit has the RecTeq right mode and can get up to 800 degrees. Crazy how hot this pit is. The hopper lid gets a little warm when you are running it that hot but you can certainly grill on it! I gave mine to my cousin and he uses it all the time!
i'm coming from a propane gas grill background and I'm seriously considering either this as a replacement for my grill. how does this bad boy do with burgers? Do you HAVE to get those additional searing plates or does this do okay without them? Thanks for your time boss.
Well just for grilling I am very impressed with the new Oklahoma Joe's Rider DLX but the Pit Boss's have a good sear plate as well!! But you can grill on any pellet grill, you just need to crank them up to max!!
Nice new pit. I just have 1 question...why dont you spray the grates when you season the pits? I think on the new pit boss 1600 video (if I remember correctly) you didnt spray those either. What is the reason?
Because it just adds more oil to burn off. Plus like Eternal Emperor says you typically scrap off the racks before every cook so just let them season from the cooks. Thanks for watching!!
Been looking at pellet grills all day.....think the RT-1070 is what I want but can't figure out how to empty out the pellet hopper? Is it a quick and easy process?
No, so I simply lay a Eva-dry E-333 Renewable dehumidifier ($15 Amazon) on the pellets when not in use. Remember to remove before cooking and also recharge it periodically!
So you review a lot of pellet grills. In the market. Money no option. What pellet grill would you buy. Yoder, lone star, rec tec, Webber or treger. And why
LSG. HAnds down the best pellet grill I have ran to date. Chris made a smoker and not an oven! I have friends that own Yoders and they are selling and upgrading to the LSg because they can't believe how good this pit runs! Thanks for watching!!! Or ya I just posted the new Traeger Timberline XL and the LSG is built like a battleship!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ I am not a fan of Traeger at all. I want to do a forever out door kitchen. So do you have thoughts on the Memphis ? Heston grills , want to go all stainless. But for pure cooking lsg. Look like the best for the money. My only concern is do they putout to much smoke. Wife is not a fan of heavy smoke
@@NuricheWeightSystem I never have had either the Memphis or the Heston but both are nice pits! Ok so here is the deal the LSG is a smoker but you will NEVER over smoke anything on a pellet grill. LSG is coming out with a new "grilling mode" so my guess that will be more focused on a standard temp and not as much temp swings that help generate SMOKE. People that always complain about a pellet grill having temp swings do not realize that without them you do not produce smoke. That is why so many of them smoke then stop because they are designed to just cook. The LSG is a smoker and never stops even on the down cycle. But it is some of the best BBQ I have ever made off a pellet grill. People rip on me during my taste test because I never get really excited because I grew up with live fire cooking and had an offset for years before I ever ran a pellet grill. Plus you can use a light fruit wood flavor and that will help back off the smoke also! So far on this pit I have done Tri Tip and some baby back ribs. Both turned out excellent and this little 1070 did great!!!! Clean up is a pain on stainless if you want it to look super new all the time! I polish mine up from time to time but not super fussy about a little patina color tint to it!! I like Traeger but I always figure that they are overpriced some. Anyways I like so many pits it is really hard for me to tell someone to buy a certain model but I stand behind the LSG because I seriously was floored the first time I fired it up. Plus that pit is made of 3/16" or 7 gauge US steel and that is even thicker than Yoder at 10 gauge! Good luck and keep me posted on what way you decide!!
The temperature swing theory isn't entirely true. Pellet brand, species and whether or not the pellets contain bark also plays a large part in smoke production. I've tested no fewer than ten brands of various and same species with my Req tec 700 and Yoder. Almost the entire Lumber Jack line of pellets produce good smoke and flavor. Lumber Jack mesquite and Knotty Wood plumb produce exceptional smoke and flavor that almost rivals my stick burner. Not all pellets are equal regardless of price. Lumberjack in my are $9.99 for 20#experiment and see for yourself. The results will really show you the truth. I've been running pellet smokers for 8 years some good ones some not so good. I've found that Req Tec is damn good for its price range and unbeatable customer service. I'm not paid by them or consider myself a " fan boy " just someone with experience and can recognize a quality product. Good luck and happy grilling. 😊
As far as swapping pellets the extra 2-3 minutes it takes to scoop the pellets out isn't a big deal to me I'm not that impatient. I don't really get caught up in different flavor of pellets other than Lumber Jack mesquite and Knotty Wood plum there isn't a big enough difference in flavor to warrant changing all the time. I live in Michigan where it can get pretty humid at times and I've never had an issue keeping my hoppers full and leaving them outside in the elements either. No pellet swell or any jams.
Newb question . . . what do you do with all these pits after the burn ins? Do they go live on a farm with a bunch of others pits, free to roam and play?
Hahaha kind of! I actually have 15 on site at the moment and 5 at my neighbors house. Ugh because this last batch all came in at once I decided to at least get them all put together and introduce to the Nation. I got one left for next Monday and that should close off the the spring rush. Then I can start firing them up and do some cook videos or some comparisons. I might need to start a slightly used bbq pit resale shop soon! Ha ha Thanks for watching brother!
This pit smokes but at higher temps it is less! I have ran this a few times now I have been satisfied with the smoke off this pit! Thanks for watching!
Nice looking pit. Just one word of advice, when joining a cult, don't drink the Kool-aide. This public safety advise was brought to you by some schmuck on the interwebs...LOL
I can't wait till I can trust my kids to do the building, cause my damn hands are always full, lol! Cheers brother! Utilizing the shelf like that was a damn good idea, hated my pitboss rear hopper 5ft high on that stupid vertical 7 I had.
OK so I think I say this with every pellet review but here goes. I don't have a gog in this race. There, I feel better. With that out of the way I have to say she looks nice. Really like the out front hopper doubling with the front shelf, Damm smart. And boy that's a lot of stainless, pretty to look at. And a bitch to keep clean but NO paint to maintain. I'd like to see bigger casters on it but I think I always feel that way with ALL manufacturers ( all that thought going into the design and everybody using cheap casters , I don't get it ?) If I ever decide to go dog racing this looks interesting, looking forward to seeing her cook. But I still think I'd probably go Lonstargrillz if I ever decided to do the pellet thing. Enjoy a couple of cold one's sir, you earned them. 🌤😁👍🍻🔥
YA bro I would say that this is a very nice pit but small. So I would save up more and get the LSG if I wanted room but this is a great option for the outdoor kitchen build!! Other than the LSG 8" casters the best to date has been the ones on the Rider DLX for rolling with a close 2nd with the Pit Boss Elite! The new Traeger are weak and don't move easy. Now for some it matters and others it will sit in the same spot forever!! Thanks for watching!! This one got tagged for the female dog reference and never made my comment feed!!! hahahaha
@@DeadBrokeBBQ I'm sorry if the "b" word caused any problems. Honestly I agree with the late great George Carlin that when used correctly or in a appropriate manner most words are acceptable. But since not all except that while in a public forum I try to behave myself. Try, but not always succeed. Hey I'm happy for you on all these reviews on these products but how about some cooks on these baby's. After all it doesn't matter how big or small the casters are or how much stainless steel it has if it doesn't measure up when doing the cook. I have a idea. Considering many folks who are seriously looking at these cookers are newbies to bbq how about getting the boys to do some first time cooks on them. Let's hear their thoughts on how easy and nice to cook on them. And with popa bear looking on not to much can go wrong. Think about it. I believe your going to get some interesting replies and comments. By the way I understand the weather has turned to the warmer weather back there. It's time to fire up that LSG Santa Maria brother. Have a great day 🌤 😀 🔥🥩👍🍻
@@victorbenner539 Hahahaha no problem on the B word brother!! Just YT caught it this time! hahaha I have been filming B Roll of the boys cooking and I like that idea of showing them in action!! I would probably have to do voice overs because they are not ready to completely talk into the camera yet but we could certainly get them to comment and say a few things!! I joined up with 2 other companies so we will be filming a lot more now and this might be what pushes me to do this full time!?!?! I got a few cooks planned for each pit but on some I plan to cook while I talk about other cooks and show those in the same video! The reason why I need to shorten up and not just do recipe videos is because I have so many pits that have come in this year all at once! SO my plans are assembly, burn off review, cook and talk more features, then an opinion video with several cook results. Everyone is filming how to make a brisket for beginners these days and UA-cam promotes my reviews more than my cooks so that looks to be the direction I am heading. But I will still do big meat cooks for holidays on certain ptis!! Ya bro I really want to fire up the Santa Maria and that is on the schedule to do a year in review!! Thanks for always watching ny content bro!! Have a great week!!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ I'm really happy for you on all this. And I totally agree about "recipe" videos. In fact that's the exact term I have been using. Recipes are not stories most of the time ( Although Andrew has made the recipes into stories) I believe if you do a cook as a final part of the review it's important to see the cooker in action, what your cooking doesn't matter. Hey we're half way through the month. I will put up content by the end of the month. But I'm having my hands full trying to be legal bbq at my local farmers market. Damm health department. I gotta go, later.👋

How’s the smoke flavor honestly?
Decent but I sold it. It does get crazy hot if you want to grill on it! Runs good but nothing like my Lone Star Grillz pellet grill.

why season them? they get scrubbed every cook. you're trying to prolong the pit. grates are replaceable and won't season.
Because it just adds more oil to burn off. Plus like Eternal Emperor says you typically scrap off the racks before every cook so just let them season from the cooks. Thanks for watching!!
Been looking at pellet grills all day.....think the RT-1070 is what I want but can't figure out how to empty out the pellet hopper? Is it a quick and easy process?
You can't empty the hopper on this pit. You would have to scoop them out. It is a nice pit though! Thanks for watching!
No, so I simply lay a Eva-dry E-333 Renewable dehumidifier ($15 Amazon) on the pellets when not in use. Remember to remove before cooking and also recharge it periodically!
RecTeq owners seem like Tesla owners😂
Hahahaha they are even worse than Tesla owners! hahaha
So you review a lot of pellet grills. In the market. Money no option. What pellet grill would you buy. Yoder, lone star, rec tec, Webber or treger. And why
LSG. HAnds down the best pellet grill I have ran to date. Chris made a smoker and not an oven! I have friends that own Yoders and they are selling and upgrading to the LSg because they can't believe how good this pit runs! Thanks for watching!!! Or ya I just posted the new Traeger Timberline XL and the LSG is built like a battleship!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ I am not a fan of Traeger at all. I want to do a forever out door kitchen. So do you have thoughts on the Memphis ? Heston grills , want to go all stainless. But for pure cooking lsg. Look like the best for the money. My only concern is do they putout to much smoke. Wife is not a fan of heavy smoke
@@NuricheWeightSystem I never have had either the Memphis or the Heston but both are nice pits! Ok so here is the deal the LSG is a smoker but you will NEVER over smoke anything on a pellet grill. LSG is coming out with a new "grilling mode" so my guess that will be more focused on a standard temp and not as much temp swings that help generate SMOKE. People that always complain about a pellet grill having temp swings do not realize that without them you do not produce smoke. That is why so many of them smoke then stop because they are designed to just cook. The LSG is a smoker and never stops even on the down cycle. But it is some of the best BBQ I have ever made off a pellet grill. People rip on me during my taste test because I never get really excited because I grew up with live fire cooking and had an offset for years before I ever ran a pellet grill. Plus you can use a light fruit wood flavor and that will help back off the smoke also! So far on this pit I have done Tri Tip and some baby back ribs. Both turned out excellent and this little 1070 did great!!!! Clean up is a pain on stainless if you want it to look super new all the time! I polish mine up from time to time but not super fussy about a little patina color tint to it!! I like Traeger but I always figure that they are overpriced some. Anyways I like so many pits it is really hard for me to tell someone to buy a certain model but I stand behind the LSG because I seriously was floored the first time I fired it up. Plus that pit is made of 3/16" or 7 gauge US steel and that is even thicker than Yoder at 10 gauge! Good luck and keep me posted on what way you decide!!
The temperature swing theory isn't entirely true. Pellet brand, species and whether or not the pellets contain bark also plays a large part in smoke production. I've tested no fewer than ten brands of various and same species with my Req tec 700 and Yoder. Almost the entire Lumber Jack line of pellets produce good smoke and flavor. Lumber Jack mesquite and Knotty Wood plumb produce exceptional smoke and flavor that almost rivals my stick burner. Not all pellets are equal regardless of price. Lumberjack in my are $9.99 for 20#experiment and see for yourself. The results will really show you the truth. I've been running pellet smokers for 8 years some good ones some not so good. I've found that Req Tec is damn good for its price range and unbeatable customer service. I'm not paid by them or consider myself a " fan boy " just someone with experience and can recognize a quality product. Good luck and happy grilling. 😊
As far as swapping pellets the extra 2-3 minutes it takes to scoop the pellets out isn't a big deal to me I'm not that impatient. I don't really get caught up in different flavor of pellets other than Lumber Jack mesquite and Knotty Wood plum there isn't a big enough difference in flavor to warrant changing all the time. I live in Michigan where it can get pretty humid at times and I've never had an issue keeping my hoppers full and leaving them outside in the elements either. No pellet swell or any jams.
Newb question . . . what do you do with all these pits after the burn ins? Do they go live on a farm with a bunch of others pits, free to roam and play?
Hahaha kind of! I actually have 15 on site at the moment and 5 at my neighbors house. Ugh because this last batch all came in at once I decided to at least get them all put together and introduce to the Nation. I got one left for next Monday and that should close off the the spring rush. Then I can start firing them up and do some cook videos or some comparisons. I might need to start a slightly used bbq pit resale shop soon! Ha ha Thanks for watching brother!
How hard is it to change out the pellets? People at 4am need to know lol 😆
Hahahaha well you can scoop them out I guess but ya bro not an easy solution with this pit!!! Thanks for watching!!
Where is the smoke? 😮💨
This pit smokes but at higher temps it is less! I have ran this a few times now I have been satisfied with the smoke off this pit! Thanks for watching!
Wait so you went through all the effort to make this review but didn't even test the WiFi or Bluetooth? That seems like a pretty huge feature.
The RecTeq app is super boring. Nothing exciting about it at all. Thanks for watching.
Nice looking pit. Just one word of advice, when joining a cult, don't drink the Kool-aide. This public safety advise was brought to you by some schmuck on the interwebs...LOL
HAhahahah ya Troy I always bring my own drinks to any meetings!!!! hahaha Thanks for watching brother!!
You earned a follower! Excellent review!
Thanks for watching and I am happy to have you onboard Tony!!!
I can't wait till I can trust my kids to do the building, cause my damn hands are always full, lol! Cheers brother! Utilizing the shelf like that was a damn good idea, hated my pitboss rear hopper 5ft high on that stupid vertical 7 I had.
Heck ya Rob!!! Hand them a screw drives and a wrench and put them to work!!!! hahaha Thanks for watching brother!!!!
OK so I think I say this with every pellet review but here goes. I don't have a gog in this race. There, I feel better. With that out of the way I have to say she looks nice. Really like the out front hopper doubling with the front shelf, Damm smart. And boy that's a lot of stainless, pretty to look at. And a bitch to keep clean but NO paint to maintain. I'd like to see bigger casters on it but I think I always feel that way with ALL manufacturers ( all that thought going into the design and everybody using cheap casters , I don't get it ?) If I ever decide to go dog racing this looks interesting, looking forward to seeing her cook. But I still think I'd probably go Lonstargrillz if I ever decided to do the pellet thing. Enjoy a couple of cold one's sir, you earned them. 🌤😁👍🍻🔥
YA bro I would say that this is a very nice pit but small. So I would save up more and get the LSG if I wanted room but this is a great option for the outdoor kitchen build!! Other than the LSG 8" casters the best to date has been the ones on the Rider DLX for rolling with a close 2nd with the Pit Boss Elite! The new Traeger are weak and don't move easy. Now for some it matters and others it will sit in the same spot forever!! Thanks for watching!! This one got tagged for the female dog reference and never made my comment feed!!! hahahaha
@@DeadBrokeBBQ I'm sorry if the "b" word caused any problems. Honestly I agree with the late great George Carlin that when used correctly or in a appropriate manner most words are acceptable. But since not all except that while in a public forum I try to behave myself. Try, but not always succeed. Hey I'm happy for you on all these reviews on these products but how about some cooks on these baby's. After all it doesn't matter how big or small the casters are or how much stainless steel it has if it doesn't measure up when doing the cook. I have a idea. Considering many folks who are seriously looking at these cookers are newbies to bbq how about getting the boys to do some first time cooks on them. Let's hear their thoughts on how easy and nice to cook on them. And with popa bear looking on not to much can go wrong. Think about it. I believe your going to get some interesting replies and comments. By the way I understand the weather has turned to the warmer weather back there. It's time to fire up that LSG Santa Maria brother. Have a great day 🌤 😀 🔥🥩👍🍻
@@victorbenner539 Hahahaha no problem on the B word brother!! Just YT caught it this time! hahaha I have been filming B Roll of the boys cooking and I like that idea of showing them in action!! I would probably have to do voice overs because they are not ready to completely talk into the camera yet but we could certainly get them to comment and say a few things!! I joined up with 2 other companies so we will be filming a lot more now and this might be what pushes me to do this full time!?!?! I got a few cooks planned for each pit but on some I plan to cook while I talk about other cooks and show those in the same video! The reason why I need to shorten up and not just do recipe videos is because I have so many pits that have come in this year all at once! SO my plans are assembly, burn off review, cook and talk more features, then an opinion video with several cook results. Everyone is filming how to make a brisket for beginners these days and UA-cam promotes my reviews more than my cooks so that looks to be the direction I am heading. But I will still do big meat cooks for holidays on certain ptis!! Ya bro I really want to fire up the Santa Maria and that is on the schedule to do a year in review!! Thanks for always watching ny content bro!! Have a great week!!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ I'm really happy for you on all this. And I totally agree about "recipe" videos. In fact that's the exact term I have been using. Recipes are not stories most of the time ( Although Andrew has made the recipes into stories) I believe if you do a cook as a final part of the review it's important to see the cooker in action, what your cooking doesn't matter. Hey we're half way through the month. I will put up content by the end of the month. But I'm having my hands full trying to be legal bbq at my local farmers market. Damm health department. I gotta go, later.👋
