Does anyone know when this is supposed to come out? Last I heard it was December 2017.
-
Next month they are supposed to officially announce the Wifi and the new trailblazer. Usually when they announce things, it is announcing the launch and that it is available now, but unknown at this point on that.
-
Thanks for the update
-
I am eventually going to build me own controller one of these days. It will have wifi.
-
Hopefully this new WiFi will come with an app similar to GMG, where you can build profiles to cook w/o having to babysit the grill/smoker. I'm looking forward to getting a new smoker...had to sell my GMG when I moved to Tucson. Now have a gasser that is nice, but not the same as a pellet smoker/grill. :bbq: :clap:
-
They posted a video on Facebook saying “new products coming soonâ€. It was video of steel being cut, welded and I assume eventually assembled into a new grill.
-
I would assume the new Rec Tec WiFi controller is very similar to the one Blazn Grill Works has introduced. Both use Roanoke controllers. Here is the link showing the new controller http://www.blazngrillworks.com/wifi

Hopefully RecTec doesn't charge $219. That's too steep for me.

Ray said it will have to meat probes and be less than $100. Let's hope so!!!
-
They must be getting close as there is a RecTec app in the Apple App Store.
-
When I talked to them on the phone about returning my bullseye I asked them about the new products. They said all the announcements will be coming Feb. 1st. So I imagine it the wifi and the new redone mini will be at the same time. As with everyone else, I just hope the price is reasonable.

Looking at the app they are already on version 1.0.5 so they have been testing and fixing bugs. That is good news.

I saw a couple posts on their Facebook page from beta testers.

I would bet the new wifi along with other new products will be announced next Thursday. During the last part of their "meat sweats" video they hinted at this. Still considering their comp cart for myself.

$100 would be a great price. MAK is $300.

At $100 I would be a buyer. I want to order the cover but I am holding off to see if I want to order any other products after the announcement. Depending on the price of the new mini I may be a buyer for that as well and sell my Traeger Junior.
-
They will be announcing new products at noon tomorrow.

I already downloaded the Rec Tec app in anticipation.

Rumor I heard is that the Wifi controller for $100 might actually be the entire shelf and all. Do not quote me on that as it may not be true, but it was one of the rumors.

I take it you are an Iphone user? Droid is getting no love on it yet, least not as of lastnight when I looked.
-
Interesting. They sell the stainless shelf now with the standard controller for $150.
-
IOS app says "monitor the temperature of two meat probes" so I guess we know how many probes will be built in.

Now I need to drill a hole for the temp probes.

Yours doesn't have the little stainless flap on the side for probes?

I'm curious if the second probe is going to feed through where the existing probe is fed through?
-
I bought mine before they updated it with the probe port.

What do you mean? The only probe in the 680 is the RTD.. The new controller will have two food probes that plug into the front of the controller, is my guess.

I believe he means going into the barrel and into the meat. The new rt680 have a hole drilled for a probe. He was wondering if two would fit in it.

I would not bother. I had that with my previous brand grill. Had to thread them thru the hole every time start or stop a cook. honestly more of a pain than a help, I just did not realize it until I tried the old fashioned way.
RecTec did not have that, I now find it much easier taking things in/out of the grill now. I can put probes in while in the house and walk out with them ready to plugin. Just let wires go out the door and plug into device. Same with at end of cook, pull onto platter, unplug wires and walk into house. Probes have to be cleaned anyways, so might as well bring in when you bring food in, one less thing to forget outside. At this point, if I bought a new grill and it had a probe port, I would not use it.

There is a Rec Tec owners Facebook page and there were some more details after yesterday’s announcements. The WiFi is a simple swap out. No new shelf required. It fits in the existing opening. A couple people got free beta testing units and posted about their experience. The display is backlit and Xtreme Smoke kicks in automatically on Lo.
There is also an easy to acces adjustment menu to make changes to feed rate and temp offset.
I’m curious how well the display will function in cold weather. LCD displays tend to respond very slowly in the extreme cold.

To update to WiFi, you'll have to update to the new controller that's on the new models... normal price is $200 , but Ray has said on video that when they have enough to ship the controllers independent of the new grills, they are going to offer the new controller to current Rec Tec owners for $99 ( limited time offer of 60 days, starting after they get some available )
-
just got off the phone with rectec. was told wifi controllers will be available end of spring. mass email will go out when they become available
-
it looks very similar to the timberline wifi controller.
-
Not sure if this is the right place for this, but wanted to update my last post...bit the bullet in April and purchased a GMG DB WiFi to supplement/augment my built-in gasser. Couldn't be happier with the purchase.

There is a GMG thread. This is not it, but glad you are happy with your new pit.
