The Pimp My Grill® Gen2 Slide-Out Rack System turns your Recteq RT-590 into a two-level cooking station. You gain extra space to roast, bake, or grill simultaneously. This setup works best on older RT-590 units that feature the original octagon-shaped barrel. Lower shelves sit closer to the thermal floor for direct heat. Upper shelves catch stronger convection currents and heavier smoke patterns. You will appreciate how the slide-out trays bring food right to your front edge. Pull a rack forward and flip steaks or ribs without leaning into thick smoke.
Why You'll Love It- Dual cooking zones Assign direct heat to the bottom tier and reserve indirect smoke for the top level.
- Morning-friendly retrieval Glided trays stop at your face so you never wrestle with tongs buried in the back.
- Zero-modification install Lock the mounting brackets into the frame, drop the shelves in, and you are done.
- Top-tier searing Run your grill at peak temperature and watch the metal grates stamp perfect marks.
- Patent-pending architecture Sturdy side brackets hold trays firmly in place during long slow-cooks.
- Brisket and beef ribs that need constant attention
- Cornish hens sitting above a water pan
- Vegetables or cheese that finish fast on the upper grid
- Full weekend batch cooking without switching grills
- Stack by finish time Load low-temperature cuts below and quick-roasting sides above.
- Nurture the slide rails Brush ash off the bracket channels after cooling so the next cook starts with zero friction.
- Shield sensitive herbs Place delicate greens on the middle track or swap them to the rear of any slide-out bay.
- Manage render flow Catch heavy fats on the bottom tray. This prevents flareups that could scorch food on higher racks.
- Loyal RT-590 users who want full utilization of interior space
- Weekend hosts juggling meat, sides, and bread in one smoker
- Smoke beginners who want better heat layer separation
- Competition teams practicing multi-tier cook strategies
Mounting hardware attaches only to the legacy Recteq RT-590 frame with an octagonal barrel profile. This kit does not fit modern rectangular or round-chamber models.

Can I attach this to a newer Recteq 590?
This system only secures to the older octagon-barrel RT-590 chassis. Newer chamber shapes will not align with the mounting tabs.
Does installing this void my warranty?
The brackets lock into existing factory seams without cutting or drilling. Because you modify nothing on the original body, factory coverage remains intact.
How much smoke gets trapped behind the front tray?
Slide the rack out completely before checking your food. This clears the smoke pocket and protects your eyes while you plate or flip proteins.
Will the upper shelf reach the same internal temperature?
The top rack operates in a warmer zone driven by rising air drafts. Expect consistent indirect heat rather than aggressive direct flame.
Are replacement brackets sold separately?
Check with your retailer for single bracket replacements if wear occurs after years of heavy use.
Can I use wood pellets on this rack system?
Feed whatever fuel your pellet auger supports. Higher pellet loads push more flavor through the upper grid during long pulls.

With over 35 years of smoking experience, we started DDR BBQ Supply with a simple goal: to help others cook better barbecue. We've spent decades learning what works and what doesn't, and we apply that knowledge to every product we carry. From high-performance grills and smokers to carefully selected rubs, sauces, and tools, everything we offer is something we believe in and use ourselves. We don’t believe in cutting corners or selling gear we wouldn’t rely on during our own backyard cooks and when we compete in BBQ competitions.
