PID controllers can better adjust to outside variables like ambient temperature, so that it doesn’t overshoot or undershoot a temperature and so it maintains that temperature more accurately. A PID controller, however, uses machine learning via constant feedback from the cook chamber in order to more finely maintain the desired temperature. All controllers pellet feed rate and fans to reach a temperature range, and then control the feed rate and sometimes the fans in order to maintain that temperature. Rec Tec uses the more advanced PID controller technology, which reaches and maintains the temperature more precisely than a conventional controller. The grill should easily hold 4-6 mid-sized pork butts, 4-6 racks of baby back ribs (more with a rib rack) and at least two normal sized turkeys. We use a 4.5” wooden disc as the standard size for burgers. In other words, it’s the capacity without being affected by the hotter edge zones of the grilling chamber.Īs you can see, the RT-590’s capacity is 18 standard sized burgers. The effective capacity, then, is the number of items that fit on the grate area above the drip pan. Any food that is directly above this gap will burn. A pellet grill, however, has hot spots at the front and rear edges of the grate that aren’t over the drip pan. How we determine actual cooking space: We give a max amount, based on packing items edge to edge on the grate. Rec Tec does offer an optional second shelf, which adds over 150 more sq inches of cooking space. Our measurements put the surface area at 27.75″w x 19.25″ deep for an overall grate area of just over 534 sq inches of cooking space. The RT-590 has one cooking level, split into two hefty stainless steel grates. We rated the overall appearance and impressions as excellent, with a slight ding to the score for the debossed logo on the lid and for the slightly undersized legs and rotating caster wheels. It doesn’t pop near as much as on their larger and smaller grills. Rather than the large stainless steel slab bull logo, the RT-590 instead has the logo debossed on the steel lid. One downside compared to other Recteq grills is the logo. The Recteq RT-590 signature polished bull horn handles give this grill a unique look. The stainless steel is evident on the grill barrel, though the lid is powder-coated black steel. The overall look is black and shiny stainless steel. The RT-590 stands stocky and solid and has probably the most angular build amongst pellet grills, akin to the Yoder’s straight lines. Recteq RT-590 Basic Features Overall Appearance/Impressions This is a solid grill, with unequalled support from the company to back it up. However you acquire one, based on our reviews and on general owner satisfaction, it will be worth the wait. Their owners are more akin to fans, and they aren’t afraid to voice strong support for their favorite brand of pellet grill. Either way, you’ll have to wait a few days to get one. Your best bet is to buy directly from Rec Tec. You can buy it at Amazon, but only as part of a package. Most of these combo grills are produced in the last years, so the innovative design has made possible for fuel to not create much ash and the little bit of ash that is created, can be easily deposited and cleaned using the built-in cleaning system.One downside if you want this grill quickly: you can’t buy it at your local big-box store. Picking a similar model will save you space as you don’t have to keep two units but you have both combined into one.Īlso, another advantage of these models is that they don’t require a lot of cleaning. A lot of people I know, have two separate grills because they use the gas model frequently when they need to cook a quick steak but still want to use the charcoal model during the weekends to relax and enjoy the unique wood flavor. Most of these models have a push of a button startup and they use the gas power to light up the charcoal pellets.Īnother benefit of owning these models is that you save space. You don’t have to worry about lighting charcoal using external lighters or fluids. These models are becoming more and more popular, thanks to efficiency and performance that comes from combining gas with charcoal. First of all, before digging into the review, let’s talk about the benefits of owning a grill which offers you both the convenience of using gas and the unique flavor of charcoal.
