FAQS

The RT-2500 BFG’s temperature ranges from 180°F-500°F. You can change the degrees in 5-degree increments from “Low” mode up to “Ful” mode. In “Low” mode the grill will get to its lowest temperature (180°F). In “Ful” mode the grill gets as hot as possible (500°F+) given some outside factors such as weather and pellet quality/age.

While the RT-2500 BFG is built like a tank, it has not been certified by the NSF. The internal components, however, are food-grade 304 stainless steel.

Due to the lid’s weight (it really is a BFG), hydraulic arms help lift and close it. They sit close to the smokestacks and the smokebox cannot be attached.

Ray E.

Amazing smoker. This is my second smoker from Recteq. Sold the first one and upgraded to the BFG. I love it! This company stands way above the competition.

Robert G.

BuyThis is the best purchase I have made in years! Just as promised, built like a tank. Assembly was easy (as long as you have a friend to help with the lifting). And I could not be happier with the cooking. The PID is incredibly accurate and easy to use. The food coming off is amazing!

Hoss of a Grill

Quality built can be assembled by one person with a little effort. Had an er1 code on my first cook which was a 15 hr cook. Resetting it seems to have taken care of it and had no problems on 2nd cook. I love that I can load it up with all the fixings for Christmas dinner with room to spare. There is only a couple degrees fluctuation with the temperature if that! Looking forward to many cooks and years of service!

Big Boss Grill!

This grill is awesome. I took the plunge after a lot of research and I'm happy for doing so. Best value for your buck by far in comparison to others out there. Will update again in a few months.

Fantastic Grill

I used a charcoal bullet smoker for many years. I like the results from the cooker, but it required a lot of care and feeding. The temperature management was challenging at times. Additionally, I have a propane grill (20yrs old) that sees a lot of burgers and chicken. I was mostly convinced the pellet smoker would provide a reasonable replacement for the charcoal smoker, but was a bit more hesitant on the standard grill items like burgers and BBQ chicken. I had nearly sold myself on the falgship model on another major brand. It was about $1,000 more than the BFG. Ironically, a person I work with who has that brand said "look at Recteq, they are really good cookers. I think I'm going to switch to a Recteq." So, I did. And, ultimately chose the RT-2500. It has nearly 30% more space than that other flagship. Tons of Stainless Steel. It's built like a tank. To date, I've cooked ribs, sausage, chicken and burgers. All amazing results. I'm sold. One of my biggest concerns was getting a decent burger or steak. I purchased the Grill Grates also. Lots of Sizzle and Sear with those guys. They get super hot and give you a great burger. I have not done a brisket or pork butt yet. I'm sure they will be great. The ribs had plenty of smoke taste. In fact, my wife liked them better off the Recteq. I'm looking forward to many more cooks.
