recteq DualFire 1200 + Grill Cover Review

On paper, the recteq DualFire 1200 + Grill Cover gets the important things right: a stated 180–700°F range, WiFi control from your phone and a PID controller. It makes most sense for set-it-and-check-your-phone smoking; we rate it 6.9/10 from its listing.

Top temperature, per the listing

The listing gives 180°F to 700°F on the controller. How well it holds that in wind and cold is something no listing can tell you.

What it has going for it

180–700°F

Low and slow at 180°F for brisket, and up to 700°F when you want to grill hot and fast.

WiFi app

Check the pit and the meat from the couch, and on most apps nudge the temperature too. Gold on a 12-hour brisket that starts at 5 a.m.

PID controller

A PID controller feeds pellets in small, constant corrections, so the temperature swings less when the wind picks up or you open the lid.

What changes on cook day

The big change is the leash: with the WiFi app you start the brisket at dawn, go back to bed and check the pit from your phone.

Best for you if

  • You want one grill for low-and-slow and hot grilling: 700°F is the stated top end
  • You start cooks at dawn and want to watch them from bed
  • You want the temperature to hold steady on long cooks

Skip it if

  • You want a stated cooking area: this listing gives none
  • You'd rather wait for buyer reviews: none are captured for this listing yet

What recteq promises

These points come from the seller's own listing, so read them as the brand's claims.

Setup and what you get

Assembly day. Plan an hour or two with a second pair of hands. Most manuals ask for a first burn-in before the first cook.

Its spot. Level ground, a few feet from the wall and anything that can melt, an outlet in reach. A cover keeps the pellets and the controller dry between cooks.

The verdict

What we'd buy the recteq DualFire 1200 + Grill Cover for is a stated 180–700°F range, with WiFi control from your phone as a bonus. No buyer reviews yet, so the recteq DualFire 1200 + Grill Cover has to win you over on paper. The catch with the recteq DualFire 1200 + Grill Cover: no stated cooking area, while most grills here give one. We'd pick it if you want one grill for low-and-slow and hot grilling; otherwise, put it next to the Brisk It Zelos-450 first.

The one thing we'd check first

Before you order the recteq DualFire 1200 + Grill Cover and wait for the delivery truck, check the outlet near the spot: it needs a grounded outdoor outlet within cord reach, and a long extension cord is a poor substitute.

Before you buy

How much you really cook

No cooking area is stated. Ask the seller for the main grate size, then lay out your usual cook in our grate area planner.

Power at the spot

Look for a grounded, outdoor-rated outlet; if you need an extension, use a short heavy-gauge outdoor one.

Pellets and long cooks

No hopper size is stated. Keep a bag of pellets next to the grill for long cooks and check the level now and then.

Cleaning

Plan to vacuum the ash out of the fire pot every few cooks, and keep the grease tray clean: that is where most flare-ups start.

How it compares
