That length of time is plenty long enough for most low and slow cooks and, even if you have to refill you’re only doing it once. They claim it’ll last a bit longer on the recteq website and it probably will under the right conditions. The grill packed in as much flavor as it could and I had to fight my wife for the leftovers the next day.įull, the 15lb hopper lasted around 13 hours for me at 225℉ with an ambient temp around 55℉. This spatchcock chicken was cooked at 375℉ and turned out absolutely beautiful. In fact, when placed in RIOT mode, the unit I was sent hit an impressive maximum temperature of 763℉, plenty of heat to sear that wagyu ribeye your significant other is still mad at you for buying. The grill heats up quickly and is easy to control, especially since the Bullseye features the PID technology recteq is known for. When recteq says you can grill, bake, sear, or smoke, they aren’t pulling your chain. With a 225℉ – 749℉ temperature range, the possibilities are nearly endless. Cooking with the RT-B380 Bullseyeįirst, I just want to point out that the temperature range on this grill is incredible for a pellet grill. If you’re needing a grill on the go and you have a power source, the RT-B380 Bullseye will fill that role nearly as easily as the common kettle grill. The grill can be lifted into a truck bed by one person with relative ease, and the big wheels roll over grass, gravel, and concrete without complaint. Only clocking in at a measly 70lbs makes the recteq RT-B380 Bullseye a breeze to move around. Where this grill makes up for loosey goosey though is in straight up portability. The loose feeling persisted, much to my dismay. After a few times of moving the recteq RT-B380 around I went back around and retightened all the hardware to make sure it wasn’t my assembly job that was the wiggly culprit. Grab that handle and start pulling, and it feels like the grill is going to wiggle itself apart. When stationary, the RT-B380 Bullseye is plenty stable. That’s not to say they don’t do their job, they just don’t do it particularly well. This is the only real qualm I have with the Bullseye, but this is what makes this grill as light-weight as it is. I know, I know, you’re all thinking those leggies are looking like they skipped one too many leg days at the gym, and you’re not wrong. It doesn’t take a super stout handle to pull around a 70lb grillin’ machine! If you look inside the hopper you’ll notice the care recteq puts into making sure every part of their grills are sealed as tightly as possible! Addressing Portability The handle screwed to the hopper feels a tad bit flimsy when pulling the grill around, but it’s nothing I’d consider a deal breaker. The construction of the unit feels solid and features a giant embossed recteq bull logo on the stainless steel lid. Lookin’ a little to the left, you’ll find the 15lb hopper. The HotFlash Ceramic igniter is rated for over 100,000 lighting cycles, according to recteq documentation. Obviously, the cooking grate and deflector system come right out, revealing the real muscle behind this grill the fire pot and ignition system. It’s a bit heavier than it looks due to its carbon steel construction and it does a great job keeping the temperatures in the cook chamber even. The grate is about the quality you’d expect from a grill similar to the Weber Kettle, but that deflector is solid. Lift that dome lid and you’re quite likely to find a nice 22″ grill grate above a heat deflector. The finish work on my unit is great, but there was one spot where the lid had some light rub marks. The first thing anyone will notice when they look at this grill is the massive stainless steel dome lid and matching grill body underneath. I built it by myself with basic hand tools. The whole process from unboxing to finished assembly took me a measly 20 minutes maximum. The RT-B380 is on the short list for the easiest pellet grill I’ve ever put together.
