If you got one of these and have the 1250 you don't need to install the bracket at all. It won't fit on the inside due to the second shelf or the outside. I called Reqtec and confirmed its not needed. The instructions have NOT been updated by Recteq to reflect this.

Thanks, came here looking for that info... kinda guessing it wouldn't fit.

[@raymeiers7949]

I know the drip outlet and collecting bucket can't be moved, but am surprised that there is no support bracket underneath the box. Seem like cantilevering the box off of the side would induce distortion in the "barrel" that defines the interior of the grill. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure Recteq did the finite element analysis to make sure that doesn't happen, but the old engineer in me sees it and worries. :)

[@terryeharris]

Does the smoke box need a "burn in" as we were instructed to do with the main grill? Thanks!

[@recteq]

Yes it does! Use the same method as your grill, 400ºF for one hour. Sorry for the late response! 💨

[@queenzdipped7408]

When they they be back in stock?

[@scottputnam1056]

I have two sets of screws included one set is larger than the other set. Does the larger ones go on the bottom holes and smaller ones around the bracket/smoke box hole?

[@recteq]

The larger bolts should go in the top! 👍

I received my RT-700 today with the smoke box accessory. Is there a way to tighten the handle some more? It’s very loose on mine even with the hardware all the way right. The weight of the handle will make if fall down and the smoke box lid to open up on its own as soon as I close it.

[@jameseyrich8593]

Same here, seems the handle shaft is longer then the sleeve in the door. When you tighten the hardware you are just tightning against the handle shaft. I stacked two larger washers on first and then was able to tighten it until the handle had some friction to it.

[@DrCbass123]

Just replying in case someone else sees this, but I took a pair of channel locks and was able to bend the locking bar ever so slightly to make it snug.

[@christopherdasilva4436]

I notice you have 4 caster wheels on this Rt-700 Is this an available accessory?

[@recteq]

That is the Competition Cart! You can add this accessory to your RT-700 to increase maneuverability and also the height of your grill. Check out more details here 👉 www.recteq.com/Competition-Cart-RT-700

[@michaelbowker938]

what kinda grates are those in the 700 this video. The look curved

[@recteq]

We used a brand new RT-700 for this installation video. That's just the reflection of the grates on the back of a clean barrel! ✨

[@michaelbowker938]

@@recteq I can see the reflection now. Tks.

[@davidhenley7110]

Where did you get those curved grates from?

[@tahoemike00]

I did a double-take wen I saw that. It's an optical illusion. The grates are flat, and you can see that for a split second when he slides them in, then you see it's just a reflection in the curved polished stainless steel barrel. Take a look at this Recteq video and you will see the reflection: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3Ksq4h3q5yjh5I

[@paultyler5989]

any idea when the smoke box will be back in stock?

[@recteq]

No set date at this time, we hope to have them back in ASAP! 🤘

[@MonnieRock]

Please make a smokebox that mounts higher up so the intake is at the lower grate level or just below and the exhaust near the top on the right hand side of the smokebox so you could use the the main smoker's exhaust. Using the handle holes on the main barrel as a diagonal brace up to the right hand side bottom of the smokebox. Ideally, a center top mounted exhaust would be outstanding! Keep the RT-680/RT-700 removed exhaust as a bull horn to signal when the food is ready. lol

[@joshual2289]

Please somehow give some love to the 590.

[@glenncharnogursky3980]

I agree I feel the 590 gets forgotten about

[@joshual2289]

@@glenncharnogursky3980 I mean yeah we got the shelf and other great things but I need the smoker box. Cheese and fish...need this for my RT-590.

[@recteq]

We recently released the Front Folding Shelf and the Competition Cart for the RT-590! We are always listening to customers' requests and taking things into consideration. No plans for a Smokebox right now, but we'll keep it in mind for the future. 🤘🔥
