The hype is real. I ordered my RT700 directly from RecTec to save on shipping costs, and purchased the bundle that came with a premium cover, 200# of pellets, and a t-shirt. I ordered in mid-March and this beast was delivered by March 28th via UPS and was handled with clear care in transit. The assembly was pretty easy (watch the RT guys video once through for some clarity; the nuts and bolts aren't marked). It took me and my partner about 45 minutes from start to finish. I would encourage you to assemble as close to the final destination as possible; we did not, and lifting this thing up even a small flight of stairs was a serious task.
Most importantly, this thing cooks. I've done roughly 5-6 cooks this past month, and each time I got the best results I've gotten in my years of BBQing. No muss, no fuss. The pellets have a good flavor to them, and they burn at about 1lb/hr, unless you're in colder weather, which takes a bit more. The stainless steel interior makes a WORLD of difference in cleaning up. But the thing I love most about the Bull is the WiFi control via the RT app. It was easy to set up; super simple to use; and saves me a ton of cook stress in checking to make sure all is well. I've done a cook while at work and one while asleep, and I could see/control both without being in front of the smoker.
People say this thing doesn't put out that much smoke, but I beg to differ: mine makes plenty. I'm as impressed by this machine as I'd hoped to be, and I am fully converted to RecTec. I intended to pick up the Bullseye later this summer, and add to the arsenal. It should also be noted that there's a few really great online communities of diehard RT owners, and that's a really cool bonus to joining the "club". If you're hesitant based on anything that isn't the price tag: don't be. Join the RT family and connect with us on Facebook to share in the excitement!
