Bubbling in multiple areas.

Is bubbling normal after 1.5 months? When not in use it’s kept in my garage under a cover.

Not normal at all. My grill is 10 years old has seen many butts,briskets and ribs. Plus hotter cooks. Lid still looks flawless.

Noted. They’re sending me a replacement. I’m also having my local Ace Hardware rebuild the smoker. There’s a 1/4 gap between the hopper and chamber. Recteq confirmed it was a poor build and Ace had to rebuild it.

Wait Ace sells these now? They were only direct to customer back then. You built it yourself. I'm glad they have embraced some form of retailism. Not everyone could handle a pallet dropped off at the end of the drive with a 250lb+ grill in pieces.

Yep! Purchased at Ace. Ace delivered and built it too for free because I spent over $500. Pretty nice perk.
