1250ºF is ludicrously hot. Most gas and charcoal grills don’t get anywhere near that hot. Even some infrared grills, famed for their searing abilities and ultra-high max temperatures, struggle to reach that threshold.
But 1250ºF is ludicrously hot. Most gas and charcoal grills don’t get anywhere near that hot. Even some infrared grills, famed for their searing abilities and ultra-high max temperatures, struggle to reach that heat threshold.
What’s just as surprising is that the grill is still fueled by 100% natural hardwood pellets according to Recteq.
In other words, the X-Fire Pro 825 ridiculously high heat range isn’t achieved via a novel a hybrid design that leans on other fuel sources like propane or charcoal to help boost direct flame cooking temps, like Pit Boss’s Mile Hybrid Grill.

Adding further to the intrigue is that Recteq’s press materials don’t call attention to any particular revolutionary technology or design innovation that’s driving this massive leap in performance.
And frankly, in my nearly two decades of covering product news, that feels strange, bordering on suspicious. In my experience, rarely does a brand miss an opportunity to crow about its innovations over the competition.

Then again, I can’t cite any factual evidence to support my wariness.
Recteq, in fact, has a strong reputation among vocal online communities like Reddit. Fans especially praise the company’s excellent customer service.
So perhaps Recteq just has its reasons for keeping the secrets of the X-Fire Pro 825’s insane heat producing capabilities close to the vest.
