Which is better for searing steaks?

The Recteq Bullseye. It reaches 749°F and cooks over direct flame. The Traeger Pro Series 22 stops at 450°F and cooks with indirect heat, so it browns but does not sear.

Which has more cooking space?

The Traeger Pro Series 22. It gives 572 sq. in. total, including a 154 sq. in. warming rack, against 380 sq. in. on the Bullseye's single rack.

Is the Recteq worth the same price as the Traeger?

They list at the same $549.99 as of November 7, 2026, so it comes down to use. Pick the Bullseye for heat and portability, the Traeger for capacity.

Which holds temperature better?

The Bullseye's PID controller adjusts the auger and fan to hold a set temperature closely. The Traeger uses a Digital Pro Controller, which is a simpler non-PID design.

Can either connect to a phone?

No. Neither the RT-B380 Bullseye nor the Traeger Pro Series 22 has Wi-Fi or app control. Both rely on their built-in digital thermometers.

Which is easier to move?

The Bullseye. It is portable and 36 in tall. The Traeger Pro Series 22 is a 103 lb freestanding unit, 49 in tall.
