Hotter than a Nelly song…

If you’re talking to a pellet grill nonbeliever, what’s the first thing they’re gonna say? “You can’t get a sear on a pellet grill.”

If you’re talking to a pellet grill nonbeliever, what’s the first thing they’re gonna say?

“You can’t get a sear on a pellet grill.”

Well, apparently this pellet grill hits… hotter.

Recteq’s new pellet grill reaches an unbelievable temperature range of 225 - 1,250 degrees. No, that’s not a typo. 1,250 degrees on a pellet grill.

It’s the X-Fire Pro ($1,550) with a dual mode for low-temp smoking and high-AF-temp searing. For reference, a Traeger and other similar grills generally max out around 500 degrees. So this little grill that could (burn the h*ll out of your finger) is going beyond even high-end pizza ovens, which usually operate around 800 degrees.

And if you just asked yourself, “wait, I could fire up a Neapolitan right on this grill?” the answer is YES. Actually, you could char the cheese right off of it if you’re not careful.

Also, for you guys that like your meat dancing around a pole, there’s an add-on rotisserie spit rod ($250) that could end your dependence on Costco ready-made rotisserie chickens forever.

So what do we think? Is it the perfect smoke-and-sear all-in-one? Or just a devastating porch fire waiting to happen?

Either way, if you pick up one of these hot shots, send us an invite to the BBQ.
