Be warned: Recteq Bullseye has metallurgy issues… This is what they call “Stainless Steel”

Recteq Bullseye 380…. I love and I hate this grill…. I love cooking on it and how hot it gets to sear steaks; however, the metal composition is just crap…. I do live in South Florida, and with our high humidity, keeping the rust off for me is unbearable. I also have RecTeq’s BFG smoke and it has no issues because they built that one right. I really wanted to buy new deluxe bullseye, but was disappointed to hear they used the same grade of stainless which rust like bare iron…. If you can find an old original Bullseye that was painted you would be well ahead of the game, but if you live in a humid area, think twice before you purchase…. I have also been considering buying a new one and having it ceramic coated or just trying to put a kettle from a Weber on this one as others have done.. It’s just too bad that this needs to be done…
