E-Series Built-In 1300

A built-in wood-pellet grill designed for outdoor kitchen installation, with 1300 sq in of cooking space and a 27 lb hopper.

$3,800Approx. MSRP

Only for someone building a permanent outdoor kitchen island who is prepared to buy an aftermarket cover and plan extra installation depth — not a beginner-friendly, low-maintenance choice.

Pros

  • Purpose-built for outdoor kitchen island installation
  • 6-year warranty
  • Produces strong cooking results in testing
  • Loads of cooking room — 1300 sq in feeds a crowd
  • WiFi/app control — watch the cook from your phone

Watch-outs

  • Auger jamming risk is a real reliability concern for a built-in unit that's harder to service in place
  • Installation depth discrepancy can cause planning headaches for outdoor kitchen builds
  • No official weatherproof cover leaves the hopper/auger vulnerable to rain damage
  • Premium price ($3,800)

Known niggles

  • Pellet auger reported jamming after minimal use on some units, linked to a long auger run and inadequate moisture protection
  • No automatic pellet-release/dump feature — spent pellets must be scooped out by hand
  • Actual installation depth can run 3-4 inches deeper than the specified 27 inches, causing cabinetry fit problems
  • No official Recteq cover made for the built-in, so rain/moisture can get into the hopper, auger and firebox without an aftermarket cover
