    I wish

    I wish the software would ding my phone when the grill is cool enough to put the cover back on. It got caught in the rain a couple days ago. :cry:

    I have to say I am thoroughly underwhelmed so far

    When I got my 590, I did not know there were not any instructions. I don't think I looked.

    Recteq app question

    There are some PC programs that allow you to run Android apps on the PC. Its been awhile but I used BlueStacks to do just that. There are other Android emulators out there. May that would work for you.

    New RT590...lots of frustrations...

    On the bright side.... These grills are reasonably well built, and not complex technology. When the bugs are worked out of your grill, many cooks over many years await you. But right now, so what? Money spent for not much in return. Stay on them until you get it right and please update us.

    Detailed cleaning of my 590

    I finally had a chance to get back on line. I will need to order Bar keepers friend. None local. In my house I am the dishwasher. So grates are scotch brite scrubbed out doors. I spent sometime on the grill this AM. With barkeepers friend I hope it can be cleaner. I could take off the hinges...

    Detailed cleaning of my 590

    Good info....thanks. I do keep the inside maintained. I had thought about a wipe down before cooking. Seems backwards but convenient.

    Detailed cleaning of my 590

    How often do you give your grill a detailed external cleaning? Mine is located under an old carport I built many years ago. It is home to a project jeep, a Cub Cadet needing a new fly wheel and other assorted stuff in different states of disrepair. We live absurdly rural with no neighbors in...

    PID & RTD?

    An analog vs. digital control is like a light with a dimmer vs. a normal type of snap switch. More precise control. Both still light the room. I enjoy the phone app. Analog control via software is a bunch of on off switching to maintain the desired output. Another example is your home a/c...

    3-2-1 Rib method

    I wrapped once. I don't care for falling off the bone on my ribs. I usually run ribs for 5 hours or so (225). Rub before start ...... then eat when finished. Sauce maybe...maybe not.

    APP Features Wanted

    +1 Agreed! I have gotten into the habit of turning the set point to 170* before I stop the grill to have the low setting at start next time. I also turn set point to 170 when I have the top open to avoid over heating after closure.

    PID & RTD?

    In my past life I wrote control code for a major manufacturer. The PID is a type of loop control. It uses inputs, outputs, and setpoints to produce a mechanical result. P.I.D. is the controller's controlling characteristics. Too fast it overshoots, too slow it droops or undershoots. Some loops...
