RT-B380 Bullseye Assembly | recteq

[@donnafarrell3389]

The video makes it so easy to assemble this grill. I put mine together by myself with no issues at all. I’m very happy with my purchase.

[@shakin_jakewilson5247]

Just put one together yesterday. Easy Peasey, and my left hand was in a total cast as I had hand surgery on December 18th. Of course I had help, from my wife’/s 87 year old Aunt. I’m 68, been around tools all my life so, there’s that but, you’re only screwing fasteners into metal. Last night I ran it for the first time at 500 degrees for 7 hours, slo I could season the griddle attachment I also bought with it. Later today I’ll fry a lb. of bacon on it for a 10 egg Mexican breakfast casserole that’ll finish in the kitchen oven. FWIW, this is my 2nd Rec Tec pellet grill. The first I still have and use (a lot) & I don’t recall the model number but, it’s been 100% reliable. Nothing ever broke on it. In case anyone is wondering why I bought the Bullseye, I wanted a traditional round grill in the images of a Weber grill, but fired via wood pellets. Although I’ve only ran this new grill 7 hours so far (@ 500 degrees Fahrenheit non stop), I’m totally impressed with it. Thank you Rec Tec, you so rock!

[@ericrobert57]

I ordered mine yesterday! I can't wait to receive it!

[@jonathancrouch8289]

I can’t wait to assemble mine today. Recteq makes an outstanding product. I have had their 700 for a year now. Now adding the bullseye to the arsenal. On a side note: did anyone else notice they cross-threaded the crap out of the left most lid bolt? I cringed a little.

[@danieljames1921]

A co-worker with another brand of pellet grill recommended the Recteq Bullseye after asking what I was looking for and how it would be used. I am glad he did.

[@1979utuber]

Very well built grill. I put loctite and all the small screws and then the music had me in a trance

[@larrysee7306]

😆

[@kameronday7645]

Honestly prolly the best assembly video I've ever used. Great job guys.

[@jonathanashe888]

Got mine this morning! I cannot wait!!!

[@davidsmith5766]

got mine today was simple to put together

[@davidsmith5766]

these are really easy to put together but the metal caps for the legs people are having problems with find a deep well socket that will fit on the outside edge then use the hammer goes on easy

[@MRFUSON-uj9bs]

Thanks for the tip ! You saved me some smashed fingers !

[@thomasmitchell1270]

Those so-called metal caps are junk, I used hex nuts you would think they would spend 40 cents and add nuts and get rid of those POS Caps

[@mrbogus2042]

I used one of the larger plastic hammer and they want easy. I did think if they fall off I’ll be putting some nuts on these.

[@gregoryh9442]

Couldn’t agree more. I literally just ordered a Bullseye today and saw that metal cap nonsense. As long as you don’t move it, it MIGHT not fall off.

[@LAAM619]

Just put mine together. Easy for the most part but i too, like many others, had legs that dont really line up and tight threads. Had to use a drill to get the screws in.

[@roncheeseman3687]

I just put mine together and had the same issue. Actually snapped one of the fasteners off and another one cross thread and wouldn't come out. Seems to be standing up fine though.

[@elinino5275]

Nice drill! I once was a Mac Tools distributor 😎

[@walterflores456]

This is a great video, it helped me put mine together...anyone remember the size of the lid hinge screws, mine stripped and need to get some more. Thanks!!

[@samcarlson8275]

Just ordered mine yesterday. Got the grill , cover, and 200lbs of pellets for $526 after tax! Went to Costco and the Traeger Rep happened to be there and was trying to sell me. Gave it all of about .5 seconds of thought. First time buyer here, fingers crossed!! Can't wait for it to come. Really want the round griddle, maybe Christmas will drop some deals!

[@LAAM619]

How it go after 1 year?

[@samcarlson8275]

@@LAAM619 excellent. 0 issues. I've smoked and just grilled on it, both with success. I did buy a smoke/pellet tube from Amazon. It's just a mesh tube you fill with pellets and it adds a little more smoke to your cook when you do low and slow, but not necessarily needed. If you want more of a smoker, get the next size up to get a little better smoke flavor, but this isn't bad at all. Great customer support too. Also with the cover, it has no rust or wear on it. Slight discoloration from the heat on the lid, but that's normal and not bad at all. Meaning it has a slight copper tinge to it.

[@mrbogus2042]

I had to use a combination of both to assemble. Using the video I missed which way to put the hinge and assembled upside down. After checking manual I could see it was backwards. However, nowhere in the manual explains installing the lid spacer or about the thermometer.

[@charlespartak2435]

If you watched the assembly video it explains both of those

[@Edwardsjourney]

One tip, when handling lid hinge be extra careful. The edges on that thing are sharp. Ask me how I know. LoL

[@kennethtarlow]

where does the grease collect during the cook, and how often to you have to vacuum the ash.

[@oneninertb]

Lid does not sit correctly when closed. Had to add spacers between lid and hinge. Otherwise lid close

[@charliestout9783]

Questioning purchase- after no manual or assembly instructions and wrong parts in my box

[@tonylamanaca9889]

Sir I was a machinist as I put myself through engineering school, there not enough threads for the 3 hole legs. It’s a tin cover for Auger mounting. I was lucky 3 of 6 times. Very poor stability

[@charlespartak2435]

Just finished assembling the grill. I was short 1 of the silver bolts. I left the middle hole of the lid side of the hinge open because of it. What size is it. Ill just find one at the hardware store or work.

[@JohnnyNoNo57]

stupid question buuut... how long is the electrical cable?... my outlet is on the side of the deck that will not accommodate placing the grill there... so I am going to probably need and extension cord.

[@tonylamanaca9889]

Very thin tin & the wheel post are threaded, why would you force a cupped end by hammer/force. ? I will be purchasing other well made grill in future.

[@gamingmuscles]

I think I got the wrong bottom tray or wheel legs. They don’t lineup with each other (the flat parts of the legs don’t run parallel to each other - they end up at a weird angle. I’ve rotated them every possible way so I’m sure I somehow got the wrong legs

[@AlexanderGonzalez-ht4xh]

I appreciate the quality of your products, but would it be so hard for you to just put the hardware in separate bags instead that garbage plastic packaging. Every time I try to open those stupid packs the hardware goes everywhere and I get so frustrated that I just want to start throwing stuff. Seriously please think about it.

[@jimmerrill9597]

cross thread 1st lid bolt?

[@Edwardsjourney]

I did one of the leg bolts but it still tight with the other two.

[@mikehoium8216]

Mine is in shipment

[@recteq]

Awesome, congratulations! We know you'll love it. Let us know if you have any questions or need any help! [phone] 🤘🎯

[@ShellSnell]

Anyone having trouble with the leg screws during assembly? The threads are just that bad perhaps? I can’t even get 1 of 3 screws a quarter of the way in.

[@darklink3110]

Yes I’m having trouble with the small screws. None of mine are able to screw in fully so it’s loose. Not sure if mines faulty

[@calebmitchell4608]

I'm also having a lot of trouble with the the second leg screws that require the washers. My regular drill will only get them in about a 1/4 of the way, so I may have to get an impact drill and see how that works.

[@calebmitchell4608]

Just to update you, I used an impact drill to get the screws in and that got the job done. Don't feel like I should have to use an impact drill but it is what it is.

[@ShellSnell]

@@calebmitchell4608 Sheesh. I also used a nice drill to get them in. Pretty damn annoying, but it works I guess. So far, thats been my only complaint after my first 6 weeks with it.

[@OverPowerProductions]

Mine came without screws?

[@recteq]

Sorry about that. Give us a call at 706-922-0890 so we can take care of you. :)

[@radofenix]

I didn’t get the shelf

[@wynn8223]

The shelf is UNDER the last piece of cardboard on the bottom of the carton.

[@timothymoore5332]

I recommend NOT using a KA-BAR & Assembling Barefoot. My Ladyfriend distracted me and I Almost cut my Left Pinky OFF.... 🙃 LOL. And THAT was JUST trying to get the Grill out of the Box! 🤣 I decided to watch this video before I seriously Injure myself. Thank GOD for Superglue!

[@clint2627]

Absolutely terrible trying to get the legs on. The bolts are impossible to get started in the threads. I’ve cross threaded two and still don’t have the legs on.

[@slib77]

Any chance of making it more portable? I've narrowed down 2 portable pellet grills for camping and I would love something like this, but it has to fit under the tonneau cover to be considered. I have a much larger(other brand) pellet grill for the house that I use all the time, and would like to cook the same when we camp. I like the idea of the Bullseye because of the cooking flexibility. Thanks

[@danstanush6931]

That’s why they make a 340

[@kyleanderson2286]

Yo cut the music or put the boomer top 40 on like ccr boston blue oyster cult rush.

[@chris5942]

Flip the carton upside down and use that as a table instead of the lid so you don't have to bend over to put everything on.

[@morganl5031]

Get rid of the metal caps for the legs and use a hex nut the caps are garbage.

[@mightyjoeyoung1390]

Great assembly video and overall a very high quality grill. HOWEVER -the wheel and stand leg caps should either be REPLACED with nylock nuts or they should provide deeper ones as the caps included are ABSOLUTELY JUNK. I will be replacing them with either lock nuts or better caps. C'mon guys. Do better. They literally hold the grill up and you use the worst possible part to do it?

[@daveonezero6258]

The manual has some of the worst instructions I've ever seen. Step 3 says nothing about washer and lock washers. You have to go back to the parts list to even know they are needed here. Someone needs to change the diagrams and the parts list and show in the written section where and when to use the hardware. I shouldn't have to watch this video. They need to match. Even in this video it shows the black screw not the silver in the diagram. Then in the actual video you can see it is the silver screw.

[@JacobCDahlke]

Honestly, I'm pretty disappointed that I get this instead of a manual. I don't want to sit there and pause my phone every few seconds.

[@Edwardsjourney]

Why are you looking at your phone when you can just watch this video.

[@Actualized_Nation]

Figure out a better way to put on the wheels. This is asinine. - a consumer who doesn’t have a rubber mallet and full socket set on hand

[@tonylamanaca9889]

They do not recommend seasoning the grill with Bacon for the first time, could cause a grease FIRE. Be careful.

[@oceanside62]

The caps on the legs do not fit. And too bad their service number is on east coast time. There are other parts that are missing as well.

[@charlespartak2435]

Yes, they do. Use the LARGE caps. Then a hammer 🔨 and tap them on.

[@spencer2679]

Meh not easy to assemble most screws weren't taped correctly and once you tighten lid it won't close

[@grahamgerrald1661]

Those wheel caps are cheap. You guys can do better

[@ggauntann]

Why can't anyone use words anymore? This music does nothing for me.
