The lid and body lips were both covered in bare metal where the porcelain did not attach. Now let me tell you, after the first one was complete garbage, and no 'sorry' gift, my threshold for mistakes on the new one was zero. New one arrived and I didn't even bother assembling it. Would have been an easy and inexpensive way to score some points with me. My RT680 came with a free bag of pellets, so maybe.

And maybe they would throw in a 'sorry' gift. I was not terribly happy with this as it was a pain to assemble but I wanted one. I was to put the bad one in the box and send it back. On Tuesday I was called by Adam who listened to my complaint and agreed to just send out a new one. So I picked up the deflector and the grill and put them in. But I decided to fully assemble it just for the sake of it. At this point I knew I would be sending it back. However, the problem that every hole was millimeters off and I had to do some bending and forcing to make it work probably should have clued me in. But I wanted to put it together and some slight scuffs don't put me off. During the build I noticed many manufacturing defects. Would have gone faster with someone else. The included instruction and YouTube video on assembly are not well written or made and so it took about three hours by myself. However since I was in the process of moving I put off putting it together. It arrived and the packaging looked fine.

The bullseye was shipped about two weeks after the promise date. Well when I went to order they had discontinued the mini and announced the bullseye. I was planning on ordering an RT680 and a RT300 at the same time. I ordered a Bullseye back in Nov when they were announced. This leads me to surmise that RecTec is practicing review censorship. All reviews on all RecTec products on their website are glowing reviews. Since I have left them I have seen 4 new reviews show up. When you try to leave a review you get a message that says 'pending approval'. **Note** I have now tried to leave two reviews on the bullseye webpage. I have copied this from the post I made on Reddit /r/smoking. So I have created this thread to tell you about my experience in trying to buy one. This was the only site that really had any discussion on the Bullseye.
