Open the lid and the inside is almost mirror-like, due to all the stainless steel. Close up of RTD and lip where drip pan sits.Inside the RT-590 with grates and drip pan removed.This grill should last years, if not decades, with proper care. Only the lid and legs are powder-coated steel, but even these are noticeably beefy. All cooking surfaces are hefty stainless steel, as are the handles, the barrel, and major components. The RT-590 is no exception to this known. If you didn’t already know, Rec Tec is pretty much unmatched when it comes to materials and construction quality. Our final summary ratings appear at the end of this review. We tested a fully assembled grill in our offices, using our standard testing protocols. 2 built in monitored (via app) food probes.PID controller with wireless on/off, temp settings, and grill and probe alarms.To summarize, a PID controller offers more automatic fine tuning so that the temperature you set is indeed more accurately maintained. PID controllers can better adjust to outside variables like ambient temperature, so that it doesn’t overshoot or undershoot a temperature and so it maintains that temperature more accurately. A PID controller, however, uses machine learning via constant feedback from the cook chamber in order to more finely maintain the desired temperature. All controllers pellet feed rate and fans to reach a temperature range, and then control the feed rate and sometimes the fans in order to maintain that temperature. Rec Tec uses the more advanced PID controller technology, which reaches and maintains the temperature more precisely than a conventional controller. The grill should easily hold 4-6 mid-sized pork butts, 4-6 racks of baby back ribs (more with a rib rack) and at least two normal sized turkeys. We use a 4.5” wooden disc as the standard size for burgers. In other words, it’s the capacity without being affected by the hotter edge zones of the grilling chamber.Īs you can see, the RT-590’s capacity is 18 standard sized burgers. The effective capacity, then, is the number of items that fit on the grate area above the drip pan. Any food that is directly above this gap will burn. A pellet grill, however, has hot spots at the front and rear edges of the grate that aren’t over the drip pan. How we determine actual cooking space: We give a max amount, based on packing items edge to edge on the grate. Rec Tec does offer an optional second shelf, which adds over 150 more sq inches of cooking space. Our measurements put the surface area at 27.75″w x 19.25″ deep for an overall grate area of just over 534 sq inches of cooking space. The RT-590 has one cooking level, split into two hefty stainless steel grates. We rated the overall appearance and impressions as excellent, with a slight ding to the score for the debossed logo on the lid and for the slightly undersized legs and rotating caster wheels. It doesn’t pop near as much as on their larger and smaller grills. Rather than the large stainless steel slab bull logo, the RT-590 instead has the logo debossed on the steel lid. One downside compared to other Recteq grills is the logo. The Recteq RT-590 signature polished bull horn handles give this grill a unique look. The stainless steel is evident on the grill barrel, though the lid is powder-coated black steel. The overall look is black and shiny stainless steel. The RT-590 stands stocky and solid and has probably the most angular build amongst pellet grills, akin to the Yoder’s straight lines. Recteq RT-590 Basic Features Overall Appearance/Impressions This is a solid grill, with unequalled support from the company to back it up. However you acquire one, based on our reviews and on general owner satisfaction, it will be worth the wait. Their owners are more akin to fans, and they aren’t afraid to voice strong support for their favorite brand of pellet grill. Either way, you’ll have to wait a few days to get one. Your best bet is to buy directly from Rec Tec. You can buy it at Amazon, but only as part of a package. One downside if you want this grill quickly: you can’t buy it at your local big-box store.
