The sear kit takes a hot grill to the next level with the addition of interlocking sear grates. These hard-anodized aluminum plates radiate a tremendous amount of heat, giving you the ability to sear with temperatures of 100-200+ degrees hotter than what your recteq is set.

"The BFG is in its own category, not only is it a beautiful design but it smokes like a champ. The other thing that makes this grill stand out is the customer service, I had two issues when I received it and Recteq friendly and helpful customer service stepped up with no problem and because of the convenience they shipped me a gift out of their catalog and let me even pick. Thanks alot Recteq, keep up the great work."

"After putting my recteq BFG through multiple cooks, I can honestly say it’s exceeded my expectations. The temperature control has been rock solid, even on long overnight cooks. It recovers heat quickly after opening the lid, puts out a clean smoke flavor, and has more than enough cooking space when I’m feeding a crowd. The build quality feels solid, the app has been easy to use, and I haven’t had any issues keeping consistent results from burgers to brisket and pork butts. If you’re looking for a pellet grill that can handle weeknight dinners just as well as all-day barbecue, the BFG is definitely worth a look. It’s earned a permanent spot in my cooking lineup, and I’m looking forward to seeing what else I can throw at it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

"Very impressed with the quality of the grill that I purchased BFG 2500 I’ve cooked on it twice since I got it and impressed with the way it maintains the temperature no fluctuations at all. Was worried when it started turning on and off but that was normal from I’m being told. Love the GRILL VERY PLEASED I would recommend this grill to anyone. Thank you from an old Treager user. 👍👍👍"

"When I got the grill put together it did not work. I traced the problem to a broken wire going to the temperature prob. It was in the bundle of wires under the grill. I had to repair it. Grill works great now. Love it."

"I already have a Dualfire 1200 so I am very pleased with the Recteq quality and precise temp control. I also had said top of the line Yoder 640 comp grill also while owning the dualfire and can confirm that Yoder does not stand up to the recteq temp control. In fact, I almost gave away (sold it) the yoder just to clear junk from my garage and make room for the newest addition to my family. We welcome the Beast in our home and have enjoyed it and the attention I get from neighbors."

"I was impressed with the quality of the grill. I put it to use and it held temp perfectly. I told my kids I was bored because I didn't have to keep checking temp. I guess I'll be doing more sides!"

"Absolutely tons of space to fit whatever you need to cook to feed the family or the extended family. Grill heats up extremely quick and held perfect temperature for the 15 hour cook for the first round on it. Everything came out great. I was considering getting an offset to compliment this grill but the smoke flavor and performance surprised me and I am reconsidering that."

"I’m using it at my business. I’ve only used it 5 times still working on getting it dialed in. Looking forward to many more cooks."

"The 2500 BFG is my fourth RecTeq I have purchased. I have been very pleased with them all. The 2500 BFG will be such a time saver on big smoking events with all the extra surface area."
— Jeff S. (5/5)
"Absolutely beautiful piece of equipment. I put it through the wringer over the past couple of weeks and it’s held up well. I will say I tried doing 3 full rows of brisket (approximately 14 briskets) for the first cook and the temperature distribution wasn’t quite as good as I had hoped. Definitely some significant hot and cool spots which based on the design and the heat source being in the center, I expected it to be a little more even. Other than that, great piece of equipment and I’m happy with the purchase."

The RT-2500 BFG’s temperature ranges from 180°F-500°F. You can change the degrees in 5-degree increments from “Low” mode up to “Ful” mode. In “Low” mode the grill will get to its lowest temperature (180°F). In “Ful” mode the grill gets as hot as possible (500°F+) given some outside factors such as weather and pellet quality/age.
While the RT-2500 BFG is built like a tank, it has not been certified by the NSF. The internal components, however, are food-grade 304 stainless steel.
Due to the lid’s weight (it really is a BFG), hydraulic arms help lift and close it. They sit close to the smokestacks and the smokebox cannot be attached.
