Every recteq pellet grill has a PID controller expertly calibrated to its specifications so that when you set the temperature, you know it will be precise. What do bakeries, breweries, pharmaceutical companies, and our grills have in common? They all use a PID algorithm for precision temperature control. This technology ensures repeatable results every time you fire up your grill. You can relax and trust your recteq to deliver a perfectly cooked meal every time. Another factor to this bundle is a grill cover included for use & care.

BFG OMG!!!!

This grill is a beast. I cooked a brisket, then bumped up the temperature to cook 12 ears of corn in husk and as many big potatoes. Still had room when wife wanted me to add in a foil pack of mushrooms and one of peppers and onions. There was still enough room I could have cooked a whole chicken or two, this is with the upper two racks not in. As for those that say it doesn't smoke. Well, if I can I'll add abcouple of picks but all I can say is i sure do wish I would have purchased this wonderful machine a year ago when I bought my cuisinart oakmont pellet grill that rusted out in just One year. I did some checking by looking back at the temps of the grill, it when set stayed within 2 degrees of set point. Lol my wifes fancey oven isn't neqrbthat good.

Smoke!

Capacity are wrong

While this thing is huge and can hold a lot, it cannot hold what it says unless they are using some small butts! We can fit half of what it claims. On the initial burn off the heat deflector cracked and it has a very slow grease leak in one side. We have to put something under it with every cook. I honestly regret spending the money on this smoker and would have preferred sticking with the brand of my smaller smoker. Yes for what I paid I expected to get something in perfect working condition that holds what it says.

Expert Review

Pros:

  • Extensive surface space, perfect for both cooking output and meal preparation.
  • Fewer parts than competitors make for easy-to-clean grill grates and drip pan.
  • Hyper accurate PID (Proportional Integral Derivative) controller.
  • Generates great, clean smoke, even at slightly higher temperatures.

Cons:

  • The mobile app requires pairing with a router, which can dictate the grill's location.
  • No interior lighting, a helpful feature of the preceding recteq RT-700 model.
  • No dedicated pellet dump for quick, easy cleanup.

The Skinny:

  • 2,535 square inches of cooking space and durable stainless steel construction.
  • Expansive temperature range of 180–650°F for low-and-slow and high-heat cooking.
  • A 53-pound hopper capacity that allows for 53 hours of non-stop cooking.
  • PID controller can maintain temperature within 5 degrees Fahrenheit and is accessible via the recteq app.

By Brad Prose

The beauty of a pellet grill is its ease of use and versatile application, and recteq’s RT-2500 Pellet Grill delivers with set-and-forget convenience combined with the ability to smoke, grill, sear, bake, braise, and even dehydrate—all with distinct wood-fired flavor. An impressive temperature range is the main driver of that cooking versatility and, thanks to this grill’s mobile app and PID controller you’ll get precise temperatures every time. And with plenty of surface area, you’ll be able to comfortably prepare and serve meals for even the largest gatherings.

Quality
Superior materials and a user-friendly design make this pellet grill high-functioning and constructed for heavy use.

  • Equipped with more stainless steel than most other grills in its class, the RT-2500 is the epitome of durability, from top to bottom. A 304 stainless steel firepot, thick 2 ¼-inch cooking grates, and a cast iron heat deflector ensure a consistent cook whenever in operation, and its heavy-duty powder coated lid is easily lifted with the use of recteq’s iconic steel bullhorn handles.

A closer look inside reveals a stainless steel cooking chamber and an integrated sliding second rack for increased space when needed. Easy-to-access drip pan makes for simple, quick cleaning. Plus, with rotating, locking caster wheels you’re free to situate this grill wherever it is most convenient, before or after use.

Performance
An impressive temperature range and expansive surface area allow for both cooking versatility and increased output.

  • The recteq RT-2500 has a temperature range of 180–650°F, which means both low-and-slow and high-heat cooking. It also means you can take advantage of a variety of cooking styles including smoking, grilling, searing, baking, braising, and dehydrating. Because there’s 2,535 square inches of cooking space with the sliding secondary rack, you’ll be able to accommodate an immense amount of food. All guaranteed to have authentic wood-fired flavor.

  • Large 3 grate reqteq RT-2500 pellet grill loaded with food

This pellet grill produces great, clean smoke. The smoke is clear from the actual smokestack with little ash but there’s no doubt you can taste the flavor with every cook. With a 53-pound hopper, you’re able to cook for up to 53 hours, non-stop. Simply start it with the push of a button and you’ll be on your way. Once you're done, the cool-down mode is much faster than most other pellet grills, so you’ll be ready for cleanup sooner.

Features
The numerous features provide user convenience during operation and a reliable, safe cook every time.

  • With a built-in PID Smart Grill Technology controller, you’re guaranteed to achieve extremely precise and consistent temperatures, which means you’ll cook safely and effectively every time. Even more than that, you can control the grill’s temperature within five degrees Fahrenheit via the recteq app, though it must be paired with a router. Two meat probes allow for further accuracy and peace of mind monitoring.

A collapsible stainless steel front shelf ensures that you have easy access to prep space and an integrated sliding second rack provides even more cooking space. The PID controller even includes a 120v outlet and hooks on the back from tool storage. All these features make for a friendly, pleasurable pellet grill experience.

When will my item arrive?

Once shipped, items usually arrive within 3-5 business days. While UPS and FedEx are our carriers for smaller items, be aware that larger items and orders are shipped via freight. The freight process is a bit more complicated than what we've all come to expect for small parcels, so it's important that you're prepared and understand what's required of you well before delivery day.

  • Most freight products ship on a pallet
  • Some carriers will call to schedule a delivery window, while others will deliver the shipment to a reasonably accessible location closest to your residence (their goal is to deliver as near a garage door as they can).
  • We'll specify which process you can expect in your shipping confirmation email.

For carriers that schedule delivery appointments:

Carriers that schedule delivery appointments require you to be home for delivery and provide your signature. The delivery is made with a semi-truck with lift gate services, and the shipment is dropped off at the curb. If you authorize the shipping company to leave the delivery without a signature, BBQGuys can't be held responsible for damages that occur during delivery. As complicated as this process may seem, we've only scratched the surface here — please review our detailed guide to freight delivery so there are no surprises when a freight shipment heads your way.

For carriers that deliver without an appointment:

Carriers that deliver without an appointment don't require you to be home or set up a delivery window, and you aren't required to sign for the pallet(s). Instead of scheduling an appointment, arranging your schedule to be home for the delivery, and signing to confirm receipt, you can sit back and let your items come to you. If you're home at the time of the drop-off, you can request the driver place your delivery in the garage; if you're out of the house, the driver will leave it near the garage or doorstep.
