I purchased this grill recently. Mine heats up on the 'open' setting but not on 'closed'. What's the difference between these settings?

I used mine once .... Mime didn't heat up enough opened or closed I should have sent it back ...

Mine heats up both plates in either "open" or "closed" settings. Not sure why there is a distinction since both plates heat up - maybe the plates get hotter (or heat up faster) in the closed position since they are stacked. If yours grill is not heating on the "closed" setting than perhaps it is defective or needs repair. Hope this helps.

It should heat up on either open or closed. You might want to contact the seller.

With both burners on high, I see temperatures around 500 F. High temp is easier to control than the low temp for this grill. For typical barbequing, it is an awesome grill for the price.

I just got mine yesterday and of course used it. I closed the vents and did not look at the grill till this morning, and there were still unburned coals there. I think the overall design is terrific.

The low setting on the NG bezel does not turn as far as the LP bezel. There is a peg (which does not show on the instruction sheet) that would prevent your knob from going lower than the low setting on the NG bezel. So, the only thing I can figure out is the peg keeps you from turning the fire down so low it would go out without your being aware, there by allowing a hazardous escape of gas. I regulate my burner by the appearance of the flame, so I did not change my bezel, and the grill works fine. I just have to be careful.

I have not found this to be an issue. When I am slow cooking, I use the two outermost burners with the food in the center of the grill. I can easily maintain temps from 250 to 350 degrees by simply adjusting those two burners. For direct heat cooking, you may want to try using only the one or two burners directly beneath the food.

My skillet holds the temperature, shutting on and off as needed, but I never have to adjust the control after I set it. Sounds like a defective heating element.

No idea how many watts this has as there is no mention of it anywhere in the paperwork. There are no temperature settings, you just simply plug it in and let it heat up until the green light lights up ( takes about 4 mins ). This is the best Grill I've ever used, it's easy to use and very easy to clean. It's ideal for 1-2 people but if you have a big family this is probably not what your looking for.

I have noticed this as well the rear has a flame that goes the full width of the BBQ grill to connect the flame on each burner. I cook on the back half of the grill and keep stuff in the front portion to keep warm\slow cook.

You set the temperature high and low limits for the food and the BBQ temp. There are no defaults loaded on the device. It is a really great feature. Instead of it telling you what temp to cook say, a beef roast, you tell it when to alert you. I have used mine so much lately and I really can't figure out why it has any reviews less than five stars.

I've owned my RecTec grill for 9 months now and it has performed flawlessly. There is no "igniter" on the RecTec as there is on a gas grill, when you start the grill it electronically activates a heat chamber into which the wood pellets are fed, which creates the heat and smoke. Unlike a gas grill, you can actually set the temperature and the RecTec will heat up and then maintain that temperature for as long as you like The RecTec has a 6 year warranty that covers all of the components, and based on my experience with the company when I placed the order for my grill I have no doubt that they stand behind their product.

The Vent Miser opens & closes at the times you previously set. It does not matter what the temperature is.

Just me recommending a few things....Try a new tank, then start the grill, once lit...let run for a minute, then turn off, turn back on high and light.good luck!

Only variable is fan speed. No height adjustment for the cooking grid, etc. I think the appeal of this grill is the incredibly high heat available which gives the ability to sear the outside of the food, similar to a good steakhouse. Obviously a lower fan speed would enable slower cooking times, but I don't think that is this grill's forte, and I haven't tried this. Times of course vary with the thickness of the meat, but are very fast.

You can run the heater on either "Hi" or "Low" and it will not shut off on those setting. If you choose to use one of the "Hi and a temp" or "Low and a temp" it will shut off when the heater reaches that temp, but will start up again just like your furnace. Hope that helps.

actually never had any problem with the flame. I let grill heat up with lid on then reduce heat to low or medium to cook. Grill works great and I'm very satisfied with it's operation.

The red button has nothing to do with the unit. I believe it was from a previous model and for what ever reason was not removed, just turn the dial allowing gas to flow while holding a lit grill lighter to the grill / frontal element. When it lights you can adjust the high or low dial to your comfort.

Well, the "E2" is the error code which means your cooktop is overheating. The unit turns off if the electronics inside get too hot to prevent damage to the components inside. Please make sure there is good air flow through the unit. Fissler has a small fan, which sucks air in from the bottom of the unit and discharges through the grill in the back. Usually the air is coming out of its back is pretty warm since it goes over the electronics inside to cool them off. So, if the grill on the bottom of the unit is blocked or the back of the unit is too close to the wall, then the fan can NOT efficiently circulate air through the unit to cool off the electronics inside. As a result, the unit will OVERHEAT and shuts off. Please make sure the bottom grill of your Fissler is clean (no cat/dog hair) and it is at least 10 inches from the back wall. Also, you can prop up the four bottom corners of the unit without blocking the bottom grill for better air flow through the unit. Please remember it is all about the heat inside the unit. That is the reason your Fissler shuts off. I am sure if you make sure the unit is away from the wall and its bottom is clean and/or prop the corners up about one inch or so, it will not overheat. Mine never overheats even when I use temp 430 to saut stuff for 10 minute or so. Please let me if you still have problem with it after making sure of the above. Thanks very much. Scott
