Rectec Soot

[SneakyPhil]

I've had my Rectec Bullseye for a little over a year and have noticed that sometimes our food has some soot. What I mean is that let's say I cook something we eat with our hands I notice my napkin will have black finger prints.

Anyone have this issue with their pellet grill? I've been using Bear Mountain hickory pellets. I always clean out the ash before I cook and let it come up to temperature before putting any food on. I typically set my temperature at 250 or 275 and don't move it once I've started.
