First Cook on the recteq RT-1250 Pellet Grill
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 авг 2021
- In this first cook on my new @recteq RT-1250 wood pellet grill, I wanted to demonstrate how much capacity it has. I opted to go with 6 large Boston butts and 3 racks of baby back ribs. This should give you a good idea of how much room this grill has 😁

Bought my rec tec stampede 3 years ago because of your videos. Best thing I ever did! Rec Tec is awesome.
I’ve been watching RecTec porn all over RUclips. My wife got tired of my droning on and on about the 1250 and asked what the fuss was about. She wanted to see a video and we first watched your First Look video and then this one. At the end, she said, “Just order it. It looks great!” My friend, I owe you one, because as we all know, if the wife isn’t supportive, life can be challenging. I am now officially ready to pull the trigger and waiting to see if they through in any Black Friday deals like pellets or cover or something. I’m not sure I’d be able to say that without your videos. Thanks again.
Great video...great grill....love the daughters review at the end..looks like they are very happy with their jobs as taste testers
That thing got loaded up. Great cook! 🔥
Awesome kids you have. Thank you for the video.
Beautiful family. Happy for you. Food looks killer too.
Love it; try this on a butt; after you pull the meat, mix in dark brown sugar, your favorite BBQ sauce, and apple cider vinegar to taste until you get the blend perfect. Sweet and Sour mixed. This is the common South Georgia BBQ pork.
Great vid Steve! This new grill is def on my wishlist. You make great content keep it up!
Thx bro!! 👊🏼
That's a lot of food! Great cook!
Looks delicious!
Great video, thanks! I just received my RT-1250 bundle today. I've already assembled it and will start cooking on it tomorrow.
I am wanted to order mine soon. How do you like the 1250 so far?
@@terrybryant I've had it for about 2 months and I love it! I currently have about 50 lbs. of Boston Butts smoking on it overnight. No regrets on my recteq purchase.
Awesome video Steve….crazy amount of food on the RT1250……serious grill!
Thx Robert!
Great job, brother! That Recteq looks incredible.
Thx my man
Awesome cook! That’s a lot of bbq!
Thx bro
Great tutorial and a beautiful family...✌️❤🍺🍺 I have the 700 and 380..can't say anything but good thoughts about the grills
recteq baby!
Hey man, great video! I’m just looking into smoking and I like your style. Plus I’m looking into the 700 or 1250. But have you ever done videos like this one from start to finish? For someone who is just starting out. More or less a step by step of what you do for different meats. Thanks man
That Recteq is a beast! all the food looked fantastic.
Thx bro! 👊🏼
I want it
Great video as always, Steve! Love your content bro!!
Thx bro. Trying to find more time for videos. Life is so busy these days…
@@StokedOnSmoke I hear ya. Between work and the family I rarely even watch TV anymore.
Truth. Might get a quick show in with the wife then it’s sleep and repeat 😂
@StokedOnSmoke since you’ve cooked on pretty much the whole lineup, have you noticed a difference in smoke production between the 590 and 700/1250. I’m wondering if the vents or smoke stack affects flavor or if one has more convection.
Great videos, 2 questions. How much pellets did you use for this smoke? And did you find the temps even from butt to butt?
Someone else in these comments asked about the pellets. Check that out. I’ll measure the width tonight and get back with you
What’s your thought on the new campchef with the smokebox that gives you actual real smoke
Great video. Does the lower rack slide out so you can reach stuff in the back to spray / sauce etc? Thanks!
It’s been raining non-stop here but I hope to use it tomorrow so I’ll confirm that and let you know
OK...I checked on this today...and yes, there are some side slots the rack slides into that will keep it in place when you slide it out.
I would like to know if it has a pellet dump? And does it have a super smoke function? I'm also looking at the gorilla Grill.
Were you given this grill by recteq? I’m interested in purchasing one but I’m waiting for some independent reviews as this grill is brand new. I’m also hoping that they come out with a new version of the smaller grills as I don’t need one this large
How does it clean? How the seal around the lid? What gauge is the body of the grill?
Hello, thank you for all the Rec Teq 1250 videos. Since the 1250 is a newer version of recteq pellet smokers. Does it have stronger smoke flavor then some of the other pellet smokers? I have a cheap Z grill pellet smoker and I smoked a pork butt the other day for 14 hours and there was not much of a smoke flavor. I'm very interested in the Rec Teq 1250 after watching your videos. Thank you for all that you do
I don’t have experience with other pellet smokers…so can’t really can’t say…but most pellet smokers (from what I’ve read and heard) have a fairly subtle smoke flavor (including recteqs). If you want a stronger smoke flavor you can use a smoke tube or with the new 1250 there’s a new cast iron heat deflector and recteq says you can put wood pellets, chips, etc… directly on top of it and they will smolder adding more smoke flavor.
What brand and flavor of pellets did you use?
Can you fit tinfoil tray or pork buts on the top rack? Wanting to upgrade stuck between the old timberline while it’s on sale and the 1250
How difficult is it putting it together .? Tnx
Looks awesome 👏 did you not wrap the pork or the ribs? Did you cook the ribs at 250? Thanks
No sir. I only wrap butts and ribs if I’m short on time but I had plenty of time for this cook :)
Very good like
Is the lid powder coat paint or porcelain coating? My 680 lid is porcelain coated and it’s awesome. Just curious what they are using on the new recs. Thanks nice demo👍🏻
Per their website, the RT-590, RT-700 and now the RT-1250 are all "high temperature powder coated lids".
What kind of pellets do you use for a Smokey taste?
Traeger grills also look good.
Your should do a brisket next
How does she clean up and how do you clean it? Those butts really stuck to that lower grate - thanks for the video! 🇺🇸👍
I had foil on the drip pan so that part was easy. For the grate…I just had to take it out and scrub it down good with a grill brush.
How was the smoke flavor? Did you add chips or pellets to the heat deflector? That seems to be something that would help on the decision to go with the 1250 as opposed to the 700... though I don't think I'll use the 1250 to its full potential that often. I just usually go big or go home but sometimes I'm wanting to be a bit more practical as I don't see myself doing anything like 6 butts.
All pellet grills in my opinion have a nice subtle smoke flavor. Personally I never want a heavier smoke flavor so I don’t mess with smoke tubes and stuff. I haven’t tested putting pellets on the cast iron heat deflector yet. I hope to do that soon.
How you folks think it does against the lone star pellet grill. .? Double the price . Still deciding between the 2
What was the grease mess like and cleaning afterwards? I saw the grates in the video but more interested in underneath and sides. Did it all flow out well to where it was supposed to go?
I was wondering the same thing. The pork butt in the back looks like it was shoved way pass the grease pan.
Has the grease diverter helped with getting less grease on the grill after a few cooks?
It’s still hard to tell how effective it’s going to be. This cook was huge and some grease still made its way out.
like the cap, where can I get one.
That’s an older one. I don’t think they sell those anymore
any issues with heat spot? how many briskets can you fit bottom and top grate>
I haven’t done any heat tests yet…but it should be much more even with the cast iron deflector now. You should easily be able to get 3 or so massive full packers on the bottom but on the top, only flats will fit.
Give us the cooking grate dimensions.
Why did you cook them unwrapped for such a long time? I'll typically smoke mine for 8 hours and then wrap with foil to get up to temperature.... Your final result looks really good, I'm just curious about your technique
A lot of people don’t wrap their pork butts
Just ordered a 1250. Do you have to prime it prior to use? If so do you have to fill the fire pot with pellets by hand or is there a primer option in the controller? Great video, thanks!
Yes…check out the overview / first burn in video I did if you haven’t seen it yet.
Have you ever considered the rec TEC 2500? I was all set to get that one but now that I’ve seen the 1250 I’m rethinking.
For my purposes…and being just a backyard BBQ guy…the 2500 is overkill for me. It’s a sick grill tho!!!
I’ll add one more thing…if you cater or often cook for very large groups of people that’s where the 2500 starts making more sense IMO….
Thanks
Following just because how many times you say butts!!! Lol
😂
Is there enough headroom to cook briskets on the main surface and the shelf? I have a 590 and it's a tight fit for two 15 lbs briskets. I want to be able to cook 4 at a time
It’ll be cutting it close. I just measured and it’s 3.5” from the grate to the top in the dead middle. That quickly drops off on both sides with the curve of the pit obviously. Will fit flats just fine but full packers will prob be a tight fit. I’d call recteq and ask them directly.
@@StokedOnSmoke That's good info. Thanks for the quick reply.
Did you notice if the main cooking surface temp was much lower then what the controller said it was?
Sorry just getting to this…but I just got the new ThermoWorks Square Dot thermometer that has an averaging function so I’ll be filming a video using that on the 1250 hopefully within the next week so keep an eye out.
One other question, Recteq does not list dimensions, can tell me how wide the 1250 is? I have a space it has to fit.
OK i just measured it. It's between 57" - 58" wide.
What happens if you lose power or just have a power bump on an overnight cook?
That’s one of the very few cons of a pellet grill…
Gotta ask you Steve from watching this video. you only wrapped the pork butt only for resting? So No wrapping of butt & ribs on the smoker? this is a method i may try out. lmk if you can thanks. Oh & also very nice smoker i will be making this purchase in the near future
I wrap butts and ribs if I’m under a time crunch and need to speed up the cook process. I’ve also learned over the years that cooking at 225 isn’t always the best and lot of pros cook more in 250 - 275 range and it helps the meat get done quicker….while still super tender…and wrapping isn’t needed.
Hows the clean up on this grill
For this cook…the grate was a wreck… but as long as you have foil down on the drip pan cleanup is usually pretty easy.
👍🥰 OMG!
Looks mighty good. At a dollar per pound for pellets where I live, a pellet smoker is out of the question for me, unless the burn rate is very slow.
I get 20 lb bags of Lumber Jack for $8 - $9 at my local Rural King. Burn rate is slow anyways. I’d say more affordable than charcoal…or very close…
Sams club has 40 lb of pellets for about $14
Nice bark amigo. You just let it sit and don't spritz it?
No sir...I've never once spritzed butts. I know it can help produce a better smoke ring / smoke flavor...but the flavor on pellet grills has always been good enough for me :)
What is the size difference between the 1250 and the 700?
I believe the cook chamber is the same size…at least that’s what it looks like to me…but you’d have to ask recteq for specific dimensions.
Inside is the same dimensions
1250 sq in for the 1250 (shocker)
700 is 700 Sq in without second shelf, with collapsing shelf option you’re at 1000
So basically exact same inside dimensions. Same unit. Full second shelf of the 1250
adds the 550’sq in. Or you can buy the 700 and removable shelf and have 1000 sq in
The one thing I worry about with pellet grills is the amount of smoke you actually get in the meat can anyone tell me about their experience?
I have an old rec tec 600 and have a 1250 on the way. I found I can get great smoke flavor with the pellet grill. My old propane smoker was much more of a chore to get good smoke as the wood chips burned out too quickly, even after soaking in water. Key with the pellet grill is to cook at low temp. 225 works great. The higher the temp, the less smoke you get. If you find you still need more smoke, you can always load I smoke tube with pellets and add it to the grill. I've even used a smoke tube with the grill turned off to smoke cheese without melting it
How many Lbs of pellets did you use?
I didn’t pay attention to that and have done some other cooks on it since then so really not sure. It ran 20 - 22 hrs from start to finish on this cook so I’m guessing in the 10 - 15 lb range. Keep in mind I’m in Florida so somwhere cold in the winter that #will obviously be higher.
T.y.
where'd you get that hat??
That is a lot of meat on one grill. You may have convinced me to get this model.
Where can I get those gloves that you are wearing? Hopefully online where you can share the URL
Not sure if same brand (bc I’ve had my a while…)…but something like this: amzn.to/3rXwa1G
@@StokedOnSmoke Thanks! I greatly enjoy your vids. Have you cooked with the RT-700? Other than the increased cooking surface, what's the major differences between the 1250 and the 700 that can justify the $400 bump in price?
I had the 700 previously and cooked a ton on it. If the 2nd rack and dual band WiFi of the 1250 doesn’t mean much to you…no need to go with the 1250 over the 700.
@@StokedOnSmoke Even with the added lip on the grease plate that allegedly keeps the the front panel of the grill "clean (er)"? Or the cast iron heat deflector? Do you know if they are selling the upgraded heat deflector seperately to be used in the 340, 590, or 700? What about the now standard foldable shelf that is a paid upgrade on th eother cookers? DO you think those are worth it for the extra $400?
You’re asking the wrong person bc I’m always gonna want the newest, most feature rich version. For me, I’d spend the $400…but if you’re looking to save money…the 700 is still an excellent grill. No clue of they’re gonna offer a couple of the 1250 upgrades as options to the other grills. You’d have to contact them and ask.
Welp, this sold me. I'm $1600 poorer!
Just finished my burn in cook on new 1250. Chicken thighs with multiple recteq rubs. Fantastic! Did use a RT 340. Amazing room to cook on the 1250. Worth the price with the bundle deal.
I didn’t catch what pellets you used. Your daughter said very smokey, what pellets?
Honestly I don’t remember exactly what was using for that cook but I never use anything on the stronger side like mesquite or even hickory. Lately…I get my pellets from Rural King bc they’re only $8 for a 20 lb bag and they have all kinds of flavors. Cherry, Apple, Pecan, Oak, blends, etc…
haha massive butts, baby got back. So did I get the math right? 23 hours?
lol. yep, 'twas a long cook...but if i hadn't of been throwing ribs on too, I would have cranked it up to 275 earlier in the morning to speed things up...
Price point?
It’s on their website
@@StokedOnSmoke Thanks I will look it it up and post here.
$1599
Who the heck is eating all that meat!! 🤭
It was for frozen meals for a charity :)
