Thanks, I have a lab calibrated (I work in a lab) thermocouple that I'll put in the middle on something (so no conductive heat) and adjust from there. Simple.
Anyone have a method for calibrating the internet temp probe? It's not like you can submerge it into a pan of boiling water.. the cord seems too short.
Apparently, Im an outlier here. I NOW use a water pan. Always. Tried without, using wrapping etc, but with it, I found my bark stays way more moist.
Never even though about holding temps. It does that ok without water. FWIW.
I did just get an updated IOS app thats in beta. Many improvements here.. Looks the same but alarms are smarter. Like 1 alarm that says "Grill heating to 225, We'll let you know when it gets there". Instead of 50 being that the grill is more than 20 degrees off of set point. Good progress!
My theory, when you buy "premium" you expect premium. If I bought a car with scratches, it would need to be fixed. If I bought a $1500 guitar with scratches, it goes back.
While I bought mine and it arrived in perfect shape (not the box) the alarms still don't work. Not real happy there...
More updates... Spoke with Zach and they are getting closer. There was a change in the 3rd party development team, assumedly because app issues. They currently are working on an updated app that should fix the alarm issues. ETA is a month-ish.. I did talk to Ray and he said this IS a...
Dumped some pellets that had too much sawdust in them and want to clean it out well, but the hopper grate is in the way. Looks like its glued in. Anyone remove theirs?* Seems like it would be easier to remove pellets with that gone too.
*I know this is a safety hazard...
I have been in touch with them. They are working on it is what I hear. I have a friend with a 590 and android and his used to work. Now they don't either. Man, I don't want to return the grill, but I'm leaning that way. Agreed, this is like buying a car with AC and it doesn't work.
I...
OK, Im hearing conflicting things. What I know is that my alarms (ios) and my friends alarms (android) neither work now. I want to find out if this is a chronic issue.
Mine is the external antenna. Stubby one. On the beta app now. Still no notifications. Troubled that I've NEVER had an alert from the app. Multiple cooks and tests into it now. Thinking about a return. Doesn't do basic functionality that I rely on.
Reverse sear...
1. Smoke at 225 until it reaches 110 internal
2. Crank that smoker to max and sear the outside until 145 internal temp.
for bonus points, lather with butter starting around 140 internal temp.
Only problem with this method is that you can never eat a steak another way after...
I have reached out to them and they responded quickly.
Their response was "that is actually a current bug we are dealing with on the app. We hopefully we have a update out in the next week or two to fix these occurring issues. "
If it's not resolved before my 30 days is up, I will consider...
So, new to rectec with a 340. Does more than enough for my family of 5. Full brisket or 2-3 shoulders, 3 racks of baby backs etc.. Love it. Rock solid temp, but the app. That was one of the main reasons I got it. Sold a traeger to get this since a good wifi temp monitor is 150 anyway, I...
