Feel the Quality When You Lift the Lid

We stake our reputation on quality, which is why every recteq wood fired grill is built like a tank. When you take our Lift the Lid Challenge, you’ll feel it for yourself. Our durable stainless steel barrel and sturdy components last longer and hold more heat. Our heat deflectors are thicker and more durable than the competition. The ceramic igniters are rated for thousands of lights, and our industry-leading hopper size means more grilling, less filling.

Hottest Pellet Grills in the Business

Whether you want to start your steaks with a sear or spend the whole day going low and slow on some ribs, you can do it on a recteq. Every grill achieves temperatures higher than 550°F, with some reaching temperatures of up to 1250°F. That’s a bigger temperature range than any pellet grill on the market. The heat versatility means you can bake, sear, smoke, grill, griddle, dehydrate, and more. Recteq offers a full line of wood fired grills, including our griddle, portable smoker, and built-in series. Whatever kind of griller you are, there’s a recteq to fit your lifestyle.

Rock Solid PID Control

recteq wood pellet grills come with the latest Smart Grill Technology: our set-it-and-forget-it PID control. The PID control takes a live temperature reading and makes adjustments every five seconds for consistent temperature and better results. Dual-band Wi-Fi control allows you to maintain precise temperature monitoring. Whether you’re hands-on with the spatula or watching the game, the app keeps tabs on the meal.

The Perfect BBQ is One Tap Away

Making the best food is your top priority. But chatting with your guests, enjoying a cold drink, or taking an afternoon nap are all high on the list for most of us, too. Grill out without missing out. Our top-rated app gives you control without feeling chained to the grill. The straightforward user experience and practical grill-control functionality deliver all the “wow” without the worry. When you’re creatively stuck, the app offers more than 450+ time-tested recipes and 60+ guided cooking sessions to help you break out of your rut. And with recteq XP goals and achievements, you’ll always have something new to strive for.

THE RECTEQ STORY

recteq began as a bold idea from two passionate BBQ enthusiasts, Ray and Ron, who believed that grilling should be easier, more reliable, and more rewarding. Frustrated by the lack of high-quality pellet grills on the market, they took matters into their own hands with the goal to build something better.

At that moment, the recteq phenomenon was born. More than a decade later, recteq is about more than just a better grill — it’s a thriving community where BBQ lovers of all skill levels and backgrounds come together over an exceptional grilling experience. Built by grillers, for grillers isn’t just a slogan—it’s a promise. It’s why we remain committed to delivering old school, US-based customer service. It’s why our products are held to the highest standards, ensuring unmatched quality, precision, heat control, and convenience. It’s why our mission is to ensure everyone can cook better BBQ and create unforgettable moments with friends and family.

Ray Carnes

Ray Carnes along with Ron, has helped build recteq into one of the fastest growing grill companies. Born in Michigan, Ray was raised an "Army brat". Ray had a brief stint at Augusta Technical College, but made the move to become a door-to-door vacuum cleaner salesman. He claims that he was "number one in the country," and that he has the posters to prove it somewhere in the attic. This is where he met who would become his future business partner, Ron. Providing customers with high quality grills at competitive prices, and bringing back old school customer service, this idea blossomed into what we know as recteq.

Ron Cundy

There's no way that one man could make recteq into a reality. Ron Cundy, along with Ray, has created a force to be reckoned in the grilling industry. Originally from upstate New York, upon graduating high school, Ron joined the Army and was shipped to Augusta. After a few years in the military, he found himself selling vacuum cleaners, where he met Ray in 1991. There they began a friendship that has now lasted over four decades. In 2009, he and Ray poured their passion for grilling into the ultimate product, and recteq was born. Ron can be found taking care of the business side of things and keeping the ship on course.
