![]() ![]() It was simply a variable speed dial for the pellet feed auger motor. Furthermore, the control panel on the first version of the Bullseye wasn’t really a control panel in the traditional sense at all. When I first started doing my research before writing this post on REC TEQ pellet grills, the Bullseye was very different to the version you can see in the video above.įor instance, it didn’t feature a stainless steel body/lid, which the current version does and is a welcome improvement. ![]() The Bullseye is more intended to be a small grill/smoker that sits on your porch/patio and can be used to cook up a small BBQ for a couple of people at a time.Ī look at the features of the upgraded REC TEQ Bullseye by the YouTube channel StokedonSmoke Though the Bullseye is not really designed as a portable/tailgating grill, the slightly larger RT-340 discussed below is more suited for that use. Its actually smaller than most portable pellet grills. ![]() In fact, this is one of the smallest/most lightweight pellet grills on the market today. The Bullseye (also known as RT-B380) is REC TEQs smallest pellet grill. REC TEQ RT-B380 Bullseye Pellet Grill/Smoker While the Bullseye does now feature a PID control panel just like all the other REC TEQ grills, it does not currently feature WiFi like all the other REC TEQ pellet grills. However, since the above video was made, REC TEQ has redesigned the Bullseye, which we’ll look at below. In the video above, its stated that the REC TEQ Bullseye doesn’t feature a PID controller (I’ll discuss what that actually means later). With the REC TEC Beast and Chuckwagon (a trailer-mounted Beast), those pellet grills are $8-10K, respectively to meet the needs of the commercial sector/catering industries.Īlternatively, below is a video from the founders of REC TEQ, Ron and Ray, on how they started the brand formally known as REC TEC.Ī few of the reasons why REC TEQ (formally REC TEC) feels they produce the best pellet grills on the market Are they trying to offer the most affordable products they can, or are they trying to produce something of a higher quality that’s more expensive? I feel REC TEQ is trying to hit quite a broad range of potential customers.Īfter all, within their range, they have pellet grills under $500, under $1,000, and under $2,000. I think it helps you to appreciate what a particular brand is focused on. Whenever I write these analysis/review articles on different pellet grill/smoker brands, I like to provide some context on how the companies started.

The word dichotomous actually means something that’s divided into two parts, which both describes where dichotomous keys get their name and how they’re made. They’re designed to allow scientists to identify an organism from a group of different organisms by answering a set of yes or no questions.

That movie showed us all what dinosaurs looked like, how they moved and (most importantly for this article) what noises they made.

After a little bit of cleanup in the production studio, voila! Laser sounds! Subsequent generations of nerdy children could now be kept safely indoors. Then, presumably while trying his very best to look like he knew exactly what he was doing, he beat the ever-loving shit out of one of the guide wires with a hammer, recording the sound of the strikes. Burtt, armed with a tape recorder and a microphone, climbed a nearby radio tower (this was before 9/11, when people could do things like that for no reason). ![]() ![]() ![]() If the case is made of thin cardboard, there is a greater chance that the CD would break or get damaged because the weight is directed onto it. When pressure is applied to the CD jewel case, the case will break first before the CD. Also, since the jewel case is made of plastic, it is sturdier compared to cardboard, paper, or foams. Flimsier cases may cause the CD to become loose, or even fall out. Because of this, even if the CD jewel case is turned upside-down, left, or right, the CD is held in place. ![]() Another publication quotes Doodson describing that he "specified polished ribs as they pick up the light and shine" and states that the resulting appearance led to the name.Įndurance: The CD jewel case has a tight and firm grip of the CD because of the tray's "teeth" or "lock". When the new design, by Peter Doodson, was found to be "virtually perfect" it was dubbed the "jewel case". According to one publication, initial attempts at packaging CDs were unsatisfactory. Blank Blu-ray Disc media is also most commonly sold in standard-width jewel cases.Īccording to Philips, the name "jewel case" reflects either the generally high quality of the case design compared to initial attempts, or its appearance. Jewel cases are occasionally used for DVDs, but generally not for those that contain major film releases. The jewel case is the standard case used by the majority of manufacturers and it is the most common type of case found in record and movie stores. This is achieved by a central circular hub of spring-loaded teeth that grip and effectively suspend the disc above the tray surface, preventing the recording surface from being scratched. The rear media tray snaps into the back cover and is responsible for securing the CD. The ends usually have the name of the release and the artist, and often label or catalogue information printed on them, and are designed to be visible when the case is stored vertically, 'book-style', on shelves. ![]() The back card is folded into a flattened "U" shape, with the sides being visible along the ends (often referred to as the spine) of the case. In addition, there is usually a back card, 150 by 118 millimetres (5.9 in × 4.6 in), underneath the media tray and visible through the clear back, often listing the track names, studio, copyright data and other information. The liner notes typically will be a 120 by 120 millimetres (4.7 in × 4.7 in) booklet, or a single 242 by 120 millimetres (9.5 in × 4.7 in) leaf folded in half. The front lid contains two, four, or six tabs to keep any liner notes in place. Īround 1993 there was a general shift to the rear jewel case being made of clear plastic instead of black or coloured. All three parts are made of injection-moulded polystyrene. Two opposing transparent halves are hinged together to form the casing, the back half holding a media tray that grips the disc by its hole. It is a three-piece plastic case, measuring 142 by 125 by 10 millimetres (5.59 in × 4.92 in × 0.39 in), a volume of 177.5 cubic centimetres (10.83 cu in), which usually contains a compact disc along with the liner notes and a back card.
