Rated 7.4/10 on its documented specs. Made for cooks who feed a crowd every weekend.
The recteq Flagship 1600 next to the two pellet grills rated closest to it.
Fed by a 40 lb hopper. Listings usually count the upper rack too, so measure your biggest cook against the main grate.
Room for a proper cookout: two briskets, or a few racks of ribs and the sides, on one load of pellets.
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.
A PID controller feeds pellets in small, constant corrections, so the temperature swings less when the wind picks up or you open the lid.
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.
The 40 lb hopper means an overnight cook without a 3 a.m. refill.
The whole crew: block parties and holiday cooks. 1,667 sq in is party-size. Two briskets, a pile of wings and the sides, all in one cook. Make sure your patio, and your pellet budget, are ready for it.
The 40 lb hopper covers an overnight cook.

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.

Our favourite thing about the recteq Flagship 1600 is 1,667 sq in of cooking space, closely followed by WiFi control from your phone. No buyer reviews yet, so the recteq Flagship 1600 has to win you over on paper. The catch with this recteq pellet grill: no stated temperature range, while most models here give one. We'd pick it if you cook for a crowd, or for the whole street; otherwise, put it next to the recteq RT-2500 BFG Bundle first.
Before the recteq Flagship 1600 lands on your porch, check the space on your patio: 1,667 sq in of grate means a big grill, so measure the spot with the lid open and the shelves out.
Our grate area planner shows how many pieces fit side by side. For the patio, measure with the lid open and the shelves out, plus room to stand.
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.
The hopper holds 40 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.
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.
