The digital control panel allows for intuitive maintenance of heat levels. The grill is slated to launch mid-November for $999. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 25% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 19% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Wood-fired Griddle Grills:** The recteq SmokeStone 600 introduces a wood-fired griddle cooktop for outdoor cooking. - **Authentic Backyard Recipes:** Chefs can now create pancakes, eggs, burgers, and more using the recteq SmokeStone 600's griddle cooktop. - **High Temperature Cooking:** The recteq SmokeStone 600 can achieve temperatures up to 600-degrees Fahrenheit, expanding cooking possibilities. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Outdoor Cooking Equipment:** The recteq SmokeStone 600 is a disruptive innovation in the outdoor cooking equipment industry. - **Pellet Grill Manufacturing:** Manufacturers of pellet grills can explore opportunities in incorporating griddle cooktops like the recteq SmokeStone 600. - **Backyard Barbecue Accessories:** The griddle cooktop feature of the recteq SmokeStone 600 presents an opportunity for backyard barbecue accessory brands. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [High-Heat Dual-Mode Pellet Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recteq-xfire-pro.md) - [Premium Wood-Fired Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/premium-woodfired-grill.md) - [Ultra-Modern Pellet Grill Companies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grill-company.md) - [Small Space Exterior Griddles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/traeger-flatrock-2-zone.md) - [Wi-Fi-Connected Premium Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eseries.md) - [High-End Flattop Barbecues](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/traeger-flatrock-grill.md) - [Metallic Speedy Cooking Griddles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solo-stove-steelfire-30-griddle.md) - [Connected Control Pellet Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/weber-searwood-pellet-grill.md) - [Touchscreen Interface Outdoor Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/traeger-timberline-grill.md)
