Got our Bull yesterday.  It is beautiful and huge!  I will post pics if I can figure it out.  Initial burn is done but don't be cooking on it until Sunday.

Nice!  Looking forward to hearing about it.

Congrats all on the new pits.  I have loved my RT since day 1.  I have the 680.  Interested to hear more feedback on the new controller and just how low the temps can get.  Thanks for the pics SmokeFan.  I noticed the pit went down to 181, did you try to get it any lower than that temp?

I asked on the RecTec Owners FB page and the consensus was 180. It also sounds like the new controller upgrade is probably a month out.

Thanks Ross

No I Haven't started playin with the adjustments as it works great for what I Do, did a brisket and spatchcocked some chickens.
So far it seems flawless. Love this thing

Smokefan,

Is this your first time using a pellet grill?  If so, what was your previous set-up?  How does the brisket and chicken flavor compare?  Thanks!

I had a Traeger since 2001 used it plenty, the brisket and chicken turned our great and had great flavor. Very happy with switch...

Ordered  our RT700 last week and still awaiting shipment so hoping within the next few weeks

Also forgot to add.  Anyone with a 680 or 700 have issues with smoke coming out of the lid?  I ordered lavalock gasket to be safe.  Was just wondering what others experiences are with this

I don’t have any issues on my 680. Best to install it when the smoker is new so you don’t have to scrub anything clean.

That's great to hear!  Yeah I figured I would just to be safe.  Man this thing can't get here soon enough

Yes, I used Lava lock on the lid, worked great. 2 strips at the top and 1 on the sides and bottom.
