Enjoy this wide ranging conversation we had with Rec Tec Grills Marketing Director Jody Flanagan. Jody was part of the team that cooked with The Shed and the 1st place wings at Memphis in May were cooked on a Rec Tec grill. They also made a ton of food all weekend including a huge tomahawk steak roast!

You’ve tried it all: gas with no flavor, charcoal that doesn’t stay lit, a combination of the two that contributed to your cooking issues, and the solution you were looking for simply wasn’t available. No one likes to “settle” and thanks to REC TEC, you don’t have to. You no longer have to endure a labor-intensive cook, flavorless meals, or caveman technology. The REC TEC grill takes the worry out of cooking, allowing you the flexibility to walk away and never babysit your grill again, while still achieving the enhanced flavor of cooking with real wood. Whether you’re a newbie or an experienced pit-master, they have you covered.

As soon as you turn on your REC TEC Wood Pellet Grill, the Smart Grill processor goes to work by energizing the igniter rod located in the grill’s fire pot and adding just enough fuel to your fire pot to start the fire without smothering the flames. After a few minutes you see and smell the smoke coming from your grill.

Then the thick smoke from the lighting sequence clears and the thin clean smoke starts to roll. At this time your Smart Grill processor starts adding more pellet fuel and your temperature starts to climb toward your selected temperature. As the grill temperature closes in on your set point temperature, the Smart Grill processor analyzes the grill’s temperature data and calculates the proper pellet feed rate needed to reach temperature and hold steady while you cook.

When you open your grill lid to add food or check your progress heat will escape. When this happens the Smart Grill processor will start adding pellets and recalculating the necessary fuel to bring your temperature back to your set point. Additionally, as your food increases in temperature or the outdoor weather changes your Smart Grill processor will compensate for these changes to maintain the exact temperature you selected.
