Just ordered mine today!! Happy Father’s Day everyone, I got mine as a gift from my family ❤️
I've had my RT300 now going on 7 or 8 yrs. they don't produce this one any longer, but Mine is still running like a champ. Just goes to show what quality of how these GREAT RECTEQ Smokers are. I'm thinking about purchasing the RT590 0r the RT700. It's just my wife and I but we do cook for family gathering and all I get is how great the food was between Chicken, Ribs Boston butts and Brisket. Brisket is the Number one. Just can't make up my mind between the two the RT590 or RT700.
I love my RT-590 Stampede with competition cart. My wife and I prep all of our lunches and dinners for the week.
I absolutely love it so far. The build quality is excellent from being made in China. Ordered mine last Wednesday and today (Wednesday) only a full week. I was able to pick it up from the freight company. Easy to assemble, no confusing different fastener lengths.
It was really strange that you never answered the question on why you changed the vents in back. I hope there is some advantage to it, we really don't believe you changed it because someone asked! Does it flow air better, or keep the rain out better? I would like to know because I was not happy with the old vents and am wondering if the new style is available (and why you didn't even show it in your "Product Spotlight."
Exactly. Glossed right over it and deflected. Changed subject instantly. More to that for sure. It's not the best design imo to have vents in back of cooking chamber. Of course water will get in. Unless you buy the tiny vent covers and seal them on. I love my 590 but I don't care for the companies alacarte business model. Should come w the front shelf and vent covers installed like every other grill and smoker. I shouldn't have to buy extra stuff that costs $150 just to get it to the same baseline as competitors. Especially given the cost of the unit. Flip side, company stands behind the product like no other and has been good to me. When mine had an auger jam from guess what? Getting wet inside, I bent the auger trying to get it out. Was really jammed in there. Took a crowbar and me getting pissed off to break it free. They sent me a new auger, clip pin, sealant and a motor! I asked for it just in case I damaged it and affected longevity. No questions asked. Who else will do that?! I'm a loyal customer for that reason. If they didn't stand behind it like they do I would not be loyal and let people know to consider the vent design, tiny ineffective vent covers, and alacarte nickel and dime business model in their shopping. It's business though. It allows them to have the resources to have the customer service and warranty they do. Not to mention the cooking videos, recipes etc. But I'd be interested to know why the change. Didn't resolve having an opening for rain to get into the cooking chamber from what I could tell in this video. I'm asking for a chimney instead of chamber vents. Keep the water out. Love mine though. I'd spend the money and buy a 700 next time just to not have the vents
@@brentphillips262 Totally agree! And I don't expect an answer. If this is a "product spotlight" shouldn't they be showing off the new design and explaining the changes? I had a lot of water leaking problems with mine, and they recommended getting the add on vents (like you say more money for something that should have been included) but they were out of stock for over 6 months!
I'm glad you spoke up because I feel like I am the only one sometimes. I had problems with mine in shipping and by the time they got back to me (after numerous emails and pics I sent) I already fixed the problem myself. Their reviews are also a joke, if you look at them they are all 4 or 5 stars. I left a bad review and it never showed up on their site - imagine that!
@@jf6720 I totally agree guys. He really did poorly with that question.
We made a slight modification so that moisture doesn't get in. Not saying there is nothing wrong with how it was made before. We are always finding ways to make our grill even better so that we won't have problems in the future. :)
@@recteq We all know there was a problem with how it was made before, that's why you made "add on" vents we had to pay extra for, just to keep the rain out. I don't understand why you can't just admit there was a problem and you made a change. We would respect the company a lot more for their honesty instead of insulting our intelligence.
Ordered mine on June 10, 2021. Still waiting for it. My grill has been in California for over a week now, literally less than 75 miles from my home, and still no delivery! Not sure if I would recommend Recteq at this point due to the delivery issues and the luke warm service I have received from them trying to resolve this shipping issue. Most likely if you are on the East coast it would be a good purchase but if you live across the country might be best to go with a Traeger or another grill locally available where unreliable shipping is not an issue.
Bummer, I'm in Cali as well and mine took 7 days from loading on the truck to delivery.
I can't tell from your website so I was hoping to see you demo how you go from low and slow smoking to high temp direct flame grilling? In my current pellet grill I have to take it apart which is impossible once it's heated up. Can I make that change with this grill without having to take apart hot metal parts? In other words - mid-cook with it still burning?
Just got my 590 today - shipping took 1 day and the driver even unloaded it for me. Put it together and so far love it! Really well put together and sturdy. Love the stainless steel everywhere but my favorite thing of all is the bullhorn handles!
why did you change the vents on the back? THIRTY POUND HOPPER!!!!
Is there a way to get the pellets out of the hopper besides Just burning them or using a vacuum?
Again I have the traeger ranger. I love it but we want something larger.
It sucks when you go to cook and either remember you have one flavor of pellets in there that didnt all get used so you have to either just burn them off or cook with that. We didn’t usually Just leave pellets in there but sometimes they Just don’t all get used.
Tipping the thing upside down wasn’t easy and for a regular sized grill like this will not be getting tipped over to save money on pellets
Just take that shield out of it and make sure it's not plugged in when cleaning out the hopper
Love this feature! Do you have a product spotlight for the RT700?
We just received this grill (via) shipping, and it showed up beat to hell. The way it was packed, the Competition Cart was on top, and something heavy enough to bend the cart plates completely out of shape was either thrown, or stored on top of it. I was a bit stunned that the gauge of the metal used on those cart plates was that thin. The gauge aluminum is on obvious step up from a $200 Home Depot grill, but not to the standards of a $1500 grill. Which is odd, given the casters that go on the bottom of the Competition Cart, are extremely heavy duty. Those things are built for war, and will probably out live my wife and I. Maybe, I won't notice, nor miss it, once its setup as a complete unit. Recteq spared no expense on those, and it's exactly what I would expect from a grill of this price. Sh*t happens, as they say, and bad luck has to land on some unfortunate soul, eventually. There's no such thing as a perfect company, perfect product, and certainly no perfect shipping companies. But, that's what customer service departments are for. So, we're hoping to have a pleasant, efficient, and accommodating experience with Recteqs customer service and hope to have this resolved by next weekend. Stay tuned!
I've been looking at buying a new smoker, but what is up with the vents on this model? Why did you avoid the question?
I noticed that as well. There was no explanation pawned it off on the “customers requested it.” I’m not cooking in the rain so for me it’s not going to matter, but he totally dodged that question.
@@bdodson70 I hear ya. But I do overnight cooks in the rain and snow. So I guess if I want to know more about the vents, I gotta research their website. Would've been nice if he would've explained them.
@@bradtoepfer289 totally agree, they are not even listed on there website at this time so it’s not an option anymore is how I take that. Usually if you’re out of stock you just put a watermark that indicates it’s out of stock on the item but it’s not even on their website, may have to look third-party someplace else?
@@bdodson70 well that seems fishy
@@bradtoepfer289 So looking closer I was referring to the 3 open vents in the back the older model. Looking closer there are now 5 vents, and they are louvered, not open. Look closely at the 590 on their website it shows the newer vent design. So maybe that’s why he was so evasive of the question. But I don’t understand why he wouldn’t just met have mentioned the 5 vent versus the 3 and the benefit.
I just got mine this week, you mentioned the diffuser is stainless steel, why is mine cast iron? I did buy it on sale. So is this the old version? Also is there a burn in period? I’m surprised that no actual book came with it.
Does the RT-590 and 1250 have a cast iron deflector now? Will they achieve hotter temperatures (600-700)?
Yes it does. Received my 590 two weeks ago. Its very heavy and looks like it will do the trick nicely. Haven't tried going to 6 or 700 yet but very curious.
Do you offer any options for RT-590 OR the RT-340 competition cart wheels for both like the RT-700? I love that look.
Wanting to know if you have a extra shelf for the 590.
Does the hopper grate unscrew? I have a traeger ranger which I love but there’s been a couple times I wanted to clear the hopper out(one time the pellets were wet) and the grate made it wicked annoying.
Give us a call at (706)922-0890 we can go over all the tips and trick to keep your grill in shape.
@@recteq is there a link to somewhere on your website or somewhere else where all RecTeq's tips and tricks are listed? i would rather read a website at my own pace than listen to someone on the phone.
How does this compare with the Grilla Grills Silverbac? I am trying to decide between those 2 grills (RT-590 and Grilla Grills)..
Just ordered mine yesterday! Can’t wait. So excited!
When are the front shelves going to be in stock?
I believe they are in stock now! Check it out here!

Does it come pre assembled?
Looking at the 2500 tell me advantage
I tried to order the second shelf to make it 700 plus and can't seem to find the part number
Here is the interior shelf for the 700! : )

I order one these on 6/2 and was looking forward to using it this weekend. Tracking initially said I would get it on the 9th. Trucking company called the day (11th) a gave me a delivery date of next Wednesday 6/16. A little disappointed. Well maybe I will get to try it out next weekend.
Just ordered mine today!
How does the warranty work? If any issues with it?
Did they add rain covers for vents
How fast will it heat to temp you set
The higher you set it, the longer it takes. So let's say 225°F, it will take anywhere from 5-10 minutes. If you set it to full I'd give it 10-15 minutes. :)
My drip pan does not comes out easy, I guess it must be a little tiny bit bigger that the others. I have to really struggle a little to get it out. Here it shows that it comes out easy.
Not a big issue, but not perfect.
Received today.
Assembly was a breeze.
Had to call to figure out how to fire it up.
Super Easy!
Lol
I love my 590. What’s different about the new vents?
Apparently we're not supposed to know??? They changed the 3 vents to 5 rows of smaller vents, I am guessing because of the rain coming in problem. It would be nice if they would explain the change.
He gave a bullshit answer. He wasn’t interested whatsoever in that question. So I guess we’re supposed to make our own assumptions. The reality is the first vents were a poor design that required you to buy an extra accessory. Looks like now, they’ve been re-designed to have their own louvers and there’s more of them
We made a slight modification so that moisture doesn't get in. Not saying there is nothing wrong with how it was made before. We are always finding ways to make our grill even better. :)
We are always making slight modifications to make the product better. And that's what we did in this case. We made the vents smaller so that in this case there is a better chance to not allow moisture in. That's the main reason. :)
@@recteq Thanks for answering. It was very strange the way the question was skipped over. If it was a product spotlight I would think you would be proud to show the new vents and how they were improved to keep out rain. Even if there was a problem with the old ones, nothing wrong with admitting it and showing the improvement.
Does this model have a hopper pellet dump?
Just wanted to note that I was a little upset that after waiting for my shipment, it delivered damaged with all bags broken and busted/missing about half. From there, I kinda hoped resolution would be a "we're gonna fix this and let me throw in xxx for your troubles" but nothing happened. Waited another 2 weeks, shipping service called to confirm Monday delivery. They didn't deliver until Tuesday and no signature was required. Just a little backwards from me watching this video before I ordered trying to understand the process.
A different company had to pick up the broken box which required me to try to smoosh everything I unassembled back into it, just felt a little cruddy for something I paid for and then it was broken and I had to put my time in to get it ready for pickup again && I didn't even get expedited shipping or anything added for my troubles. I'm always big on how a company handles these issues.
Can the swiveling casters on the bottom right be moved over to the left side?
I ordered mine.
My wife and me picked ours up yesterday. What a shame that the components are actually manufactured in China with assembly and merchandising occurring in the US. However, we were both very impressed with out RecTeq experience at the Evens depot abd we very much look forward to many years of grilling par excellence! I don't actually beleive we actually spent sucn a large amount of money on a grill.....but we did! Let's hope the reality of product matches the hype!
Best $1,000 (shoot yeah, I got the shelf) I ever spent. I liked what I read, liked the idea of supporting this company and the wifi/app actually works and makes it simple to crush any cook. I honestly brainstorm things to cook each week so I'll have an excuse to use it.
Question about my new 590 smoke long after shutdown at least 20-30 mins is this normal
Give us a call at 706-922-0890 and we can have someone help you with your concerns.
Ordered!
I just ordered the 590 and was charged $49 for shipping
Love the sear kit for my steaks!!
Bought one of those for my son in law, and he loves it
That looks like a mighty fine unit!!
Is there a hopper cleanout door to aid in changing pellets?
How big of a turkey can you fit in the 590?
you could fit a 14-16 pound bird without spatchcocking it. You could get a larger bird in there if you spatchcock it.
What is your address in Georgia? Do you stock all of your Recteq models?

Yes, we keep them in stock. Give us a call and we can let you know they are in stock just in case. 706-922-0890. :)
This isn’t the 590 assembly video which it is titled as
Wish you showed the sear kit and add on shelves in this video. A little too much fast talking and too little focus and explanation on the product. And some constructive criticism here, photos on your website are not good, which is why I came to youtube looking for a better overview of the grill.
two briskets on the pit now... Beef is king in Texas
Wow, I wonder what the warranty is like on that bad mama'jama.
Why have folks send in questions if you’re going to totally dismiss them and avoid giving an appropriate answer like the vents question? ‘Because we asked’? Huh, We’ve also asked for a built in second tray so is that the next Improvement?
A tray that slides forward and back would be nice too. I have a lot of ideas I guess the real question is how many people have to want it before they change ;)
Like I said the joke to me is they call this a "product spotlight" then gloss over questions that that refer the the grill that is being spotlighted! I would not even know the vents were changed since they never brought it up. If it does stop rain (which would be great) then show us the upgrade don't try to hide it.
Hey Frankie, give us a call at 706-922-0890. We can answer any question you may have about or products.
We need an additional shelf that fits completely from left to right!
Just hope you never need replacement parts. It’s been 3 weeks of getting the run around. Try this, try that. I said I just want to buy replacement parts and they won’t answer emails anymore.
Doing my one hour 400 degree burn in with bologna and some greasy dogs.
How many pork shoulders will fit on the 590?
3-4 pork shoulders around 9-10 pounds each. :)
I hear from others these grills are awesome. Didn't care for video. ex... "why did recteq change vents on back?" Cause the cx ask us to...... Cx is asking you to go jump off building..... Makes no sense does it?
He completely glossed over the vent question. What a turn off.
HELP !!!!!!!!!!!
HELP ME DECIDE BETWEEN A 590 AND A 700 PLEASE DO A COMPARISON VIDEO
Just ordered one yesterday I’m so excited to smoke some meat!!!
I just purchased a 1070 with a 340 also and I’m really not liking the question deflections AKA circle back answers… sounds like a used car salesman avoiding good honest questions.
“Because you the customer asked for it” …..Seriously ???? That’s how you answer a good question about the only functional change in a product during a “product spotlight video” ??? Too much trouble to spin it around and show the new vents, talk about the real reason you changed them and increased the number of them ????
As someone who’s considering buying one of these with very hard earned money, I was hoping for so much more of an explanation. Have you tested the increased venting to see if it allows the smoke to escape too quickly, then affecting the smoking aspect of the grill ??? And please don’t suggest that I call a phone # and ask questions. I prefer to get the info when it’s convenient to me, not during certain hours. Why don’t you try a more professional approach to your videos instead of the clown/infomercial, 1-800-XXX-XXXX approach?
You didn't explain why the vents were changed. Customer request shouldn't be a deciding factor unless it makes functional sense. I don't like that the company has taken a "used car salesmen" approach to hyping everything and posting videos with over-the-top acting, noises, and cliches. I remember when you first started you were straight forward and just stated you were making pellet smokers with the best materials, quality components, and an outstanding warranty. Go back to being serious about your product and stop the clown show promos, we're not 5 year olds that need to be entertained. PS: I've been a customer since 2016.
Goofy presentation, glossed over the vent question ?
