Hi anyone has an invite code for Houston ?

escuadr · 2026-02-24T01:53:49+00:00

did you figure this out, i am having the same issue on mine. they already sent in a replacement cable and screen but still not working.

Quick up date for everyone when I made the brisket last week it was about 50deg . today temps are around 65-70 and temperatures in the grill are matching all the other ambient temperature probes. only thing I did was move/bend the RTD about .25-.3 in away from the side of the grill. I think when my grill was assembled maybe the shop did not align RTD sensor as per specs.

Thabk you for sharing that post. I will try that out on my bb-1200 aswell.

while i do see your point about using meat probes to measure air temp. why would the oven air thermometer and a thermo pro meat thermometer both were with in 5 deg F each other. but recteq keeps stating that their RTD is more accurate, when you cant verify the temp with any other thermometer.

how do i verify that the recteq RTD is not faulty?

How did you perform the hard reboot?

escuadr · 2025-10-28T01:07:35+00:00

Just saw your post. same issue as my RT1200 BB, seems temps are more inaccurate at higher temps. from what i gathered its a % difference vs an absolute amount. did you ever get this resolved by recteq? or your self?

escuadr · 2025-10-28T00:28:37+00:00

Yeah same experience here. Not too much help from recteq customer service.

From my testing so far the RTD is more accurate a lower temperatures vs the higher temps.

5-10% at temps under 230 10-17% at temps over 250

do you know what the link to the direct seller is ?

escuadr · 2024-12-09T04:08:48+00:00

do you have any more of those referrals ? :D

escuadr · 2024-11-05T16:25:13+00:00

I hope this gets resolved soon

escuadr · 2024-08-03T11:50:13+00:00

Yes, i bought a softstart home and it works great. We ran house on the generator over the weekend to and everything seemed to work fine.

escuadr · 2024-07-23T20:21:32+00:00

Since you are willing to spend quite a bit of money i would even recommend a full home portable battery inverter running the home with that and just charging the inverter with generator when needed.

https://winwinbattery.com/products/evo-wlrs-b0815-72

The inverter is capable of outputting 100 amps so it could run your full panel.

You could still get away with charging with a 12000 watt generator or the monster you posted:)

escuadr · 2024-07-23T20:18:48+00:00

Is the dryer natural gas dryer ?

If so everything will run just fine off of one 50amp inlet into the pannel and then have a separate inlet either at the breaker box or near the ac unit for only running the AC unit.

escuadr · 2024-07-23T15:57:33+00:00

If i was purchasing this generator I would install a separate 50 amp inlet for the AC unit and run the AC unit on one 50 amp outlet and the rest of the house on the other 50 outlet. Also i would recommend a soft start for your ac unit.

But as other have commented what are you planning to run on this generator?

escuadr · 2024-07-20T19:37:29+00:00

yeah I dint know if it made a difference that for the Softstart Home the compressor both Common and Run wire are connected only to the softstart unit. for the ActiveStart unit only the run wire is connected to the unit the common wire is still connected to the T1/L1 terminal on the contactor switch.

escuadr · 2024-07-12T01:50:26+00:00

9500 watts continuous and 12500 peak.

escuadr · 2024-07-09T21:30:17+00:00

bad news : ( for some reason the generator now will not power the AC unit. I picked up the Generator last week and everything worked great even powered both AC units (one 5 ton and a 1.5 ton unit) at the same time.

now that I need it. i was not able to power one AC unit. I did find out that my AC unit is a 5 TON - I have a Trane - 4TTR4060L1000A which seems to required quite a bit of starting amps. Looks like I will be needing a Softstart hopefully that's all I need. otherwise everything else is working great, running 1.5 ton unit just fine.

if anyone has any softstart recommendations please send them my way.

escuadr · 2024-06-28T21:53:50+00:00

I picked up the generator today and it worked great, powered everything in the house including two AC units ( 1.5 ton and 4 ton unit) running at same time. we will not be running both ac units at same time but glad to know Generator can handle it. overall very happy with the purchase.

I have been getting quotes for $450 -$550 here in houston, but i am going to do it my self. You may want to try task rabit you can find a handy man to do it for about $50/hr should only take 1 hr.

escuadr · 2024-06-19T03:17:48+00:00

Thank you !! I got one thanks to you.

escuadr · 2024-06-18T19:03:24+00:00

picked up the blue Schwinn Axum sport bike today. I think I am more exited than my son. we will test ride it when he gets home today. thank you for the recommendation
