Pellet hopper, per the listing

The hopper capacity stated in the listing. How long a load lasts depends on the temperature and the weather.

What it has going for it

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.

18 lb hopper

Enough pellets for a long afternoon cook. For an all-nighter, keep the bag close.

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 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 and temperature range: this listing gives neither
  • 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 RT-380BD Bullseye Deluxe for is WiFi control from your phone, with a PID controller as a bonus. No buyer reviews yet, so this recteq pellet grill has to win you over on paper. The catch with the recteq: no stated cooking area, while most grills here give one. We'd pick it if you start cooks at dawn and want to watch them from bed; otherwise, put it next to the KingChii 595 sq in Pellet Grill first.

The one thing we'd check first

Before you order the recteq RT-380BD Bullseye Deluxe and wait for the delivery truck, check the temperature range: the listing gives no range, so ask the seller how low and how hot it goes.

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

It plugs into a regular outdoor outlet for the igniter, the fan and the auger. A grounded outlet close by beats a long extension cord.

Pellets and long cooks

The hopper holds 18 lb. How long that lasts depends on the temperature and the weather, so keep a bag next to the grill for long low-and-slow cooks.

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
