This is video I needed. A real example and I got to see your journey each step of the way …. Not just someone verbally explaining. Thanks for making it REAL!
Just ordered a Bullseye to add to my RT-340 and Blackstone. From what I have read and seen in RecTeq videos, is you need to build up some ash in the bottom of the Bullseye to catch the grease that makes it through the deflector plate. When you clean out the fire pot, just dump into bottom of the Bullseye. As the grease drips down and soaks up into the ash, it will dry into little clumps. Like kittle litter. So when you clean the fire pot, you also clean out any clumps in the ash.
Good Gawd......DO NOT........break in your new pellet grill this way! You need to initially clean it first , with mild soap and water. You then use a good grade of pellets and get her up to 450 - 500 degrees and cook it for about an hour! After that phase , and it cools down , you can spray / rub / wipe some Avocado / peanut / canola oil ( Your choice ) inside every where. Do another hi temp 45 min burn in. DO NOT cook any greasy meats in there without a damn drip pan! You'll burn your damn house down! This guy's video can completely cause a huge clean up mess! Jesus!
I just got mine and it definitely takes a whole lot longer than you would think to prime and burn in. I almost thought something was wrong with mine too in the same exact way but it's a firing now
So I live in Augusta GA and live close to RecTeq. When I bought my RT700 they told me to drop a handful of pellets in the fire pit before the first burn in. I guess it give the system time to prime itself? Not sure
Thanks for the "if I can do it, you can do it" pep-talk, some of us need that lol (including myself when it comes to grilling)! Congrats on that perfect SEO score of 100 on this video as well. Followed this one along and understood the "what, how, and why" so definitely got the intent of the video across. Thanks as well for the wrap-up. Overall, another hit and keep doing your thing, still proud of ya!
Thanks VA. Its actually a 73% SEO. LOL This one went on longer than I anticipated. I shaved it down from 25 minuets. I've set myself a 15 min limit. It was just thing after thing. Worked through it I guess. Have you seen the bowling tip video I sent you on IG? Nice job on the 204. #GoHawks
@@DrTasteGoodBBQ oh no, I rarely do on IG and FB and that's an achilles heel of mine, but I'll check it out... yeah them Hawks looking good... always say, gotta stay healthy (fingers crossed)
Is this right equipment to have as you are having some issues from get go... I was going to purchase this but now having second thought... there are other youtuber having same issues too I think.
I’ll leave that question up to you Paul. I can’t tell you what to get or not. I’m just sharing the experience that I had. I had high hopes for this unit. But…..
I've had mine for months. I use it a few times a week mainly for steak, pizza, chicken and sausage. I smoked a 16 lb brisket, after trim, a week ago with it and had no issues. Worth every penny I paid for it.
@@DrTasteGoodBBQ yup, I called customer support and they said yeah well as long as its turning its fine 🤨. I asked why they don't have a place for grease to drip or at least include a drip pan, they said they recommend a drip pan. Uhhh ok why wasn't it included. Still like the grill but RecTeq dropped the ball on that grease fire issue
You’ve probably gotten more than a share of unwanted suggestions, but any grill that continually provides fuel will be prone to grease fires. A charcoal grill would do the same thing if you added fatty foods to coals not ashed over, unless you were choking the fire (which would leave soot everywhere).
Oh man! That grill gone yet Doc? Looks like the weber smoke fire..lol...that grill did get real dirty from the burn in before you even threw the bacon on it...that design definitely needs a retooling, some kind of grease catch ..thanks for sharing brother, have yourself a great one, you all stay safe!👍 btw my delivery is scheduled for next Friday!! Cant wait👍
It left yesterday. Got to say they have one heck of a customer service team. I’m not a BBQ designer, but there has to be a better way. I later found out it was running about 80-100 degrees hot after I ruined some tomahawks. Still got 5 videos to go. It’s just starting to get good. This grease fire was nasty. So nasty I didn’t think it was safe to take time to get the camera rolling. It’s been something that’s for sure.
Season the grill?! I learn something new every day from you. Also, your name was chosen in the comment section of my videos for a giveaway lottery ticket! Join us Sunday night for a premiere and good luck 😎👍
Oh yeah. You got to burn it in to get all the manufacturing gunk and then put some greasy smoke on it. Now its ready to cook on. See you Sunday if not sooner.
The heat deflector has a kind of bowl in the middle then holes on the exterior of it. For greasy stuff I found that you would need an aluminum pan to catch drippings. Not included to answer your question. Thanks for asking.

Im glad you figure out the problem and great feedback so that we learn what not to do. Great video and awesome toy for the next amazing Grill. 👍🏼
Thanks 2020. Been an adventure with this one.
I haven't watched most of the video yet but I subscribed just based on your intro animation and music. Outstanding and to the point.
Thank you. Much appreciated Tom.

@@VAScratchKing Injury bug has definitely hit your boys. Sad to see.
Important work to figure things out and great share to help others going through the same! :))
Its definitely been a rough experience with this one. I can't be the only one. I might be the only one with a RUclips audience though.
Thanks for the video. Just about to burn in mine, so this info is great !
Thank you. Make sure to use a drip pan on fatty stuff. I hope you enjoy it.
that takes a long time before the bad boy is up and running, my equipment is 2 stones and a grill plate on top hi hi hi, nice upload-i Chef Richard

Did you use a drip pan for the brisket? If so how did you place it?
Same thing happened to me on with my initial start up.
Mine does the same thing, even makes that noise on the auger, but it works so I guess that's by design
Kind of sounds like a creaking ship.

If you called recteq they would told you you need to keep lid closed and it take 30 minutes to start then leave it for a hour for the burn in

Scott I don’t consider a grill truly broke in until it has had a good grease fire😫
I broke her in right then! LOL
DrTasteGoodBBQ That you did my friend.👍
@@chargriller6547 Got your sticker yesterday. Thank you!
Would putting a grease pan on top of the deflector restrict the air flow?
On a side of it yes. The deflector has hole all around it though. From my experience, a pan is a better option than a grease fire.
Where did you get that pellet dispenser?
www.pelletcan.com I have a discount code if you want.
@@DrTasteGoodBBQ A discount code would be great.
@@jeffdillard8724 DrTG10 should still be active for 10% off.
@@DrTasteGoodBBQ Thanks
Does the bullseye come with a grease pan?
A pan? Or are you talking about a drainage system like most other pellet smokers into a bucket? Guess I have two different answers.
@@DrTasteGoodBBQ not that pan. I know the bullseye doesn’t have one of those. I mean the grease catch for under the bacon.

@@DrTasteGoodBBQ thanks!
You bet. Merry Christmas.
Season the meat... Season the grill
It's a never ending cycle Bob. Gives me content. LOL
This is a how not to use your grill!
I never cook bacon in mine no reason to I cooked mine off for a couple hrs then I cook 80/20 hamburgers.
My auger wont stop spinning and it's overfilling the little pot
