Has anyone who has put the 3 RPM in the bull regretted it or put old one back in?

Not me.Has anyone who has put the 3 RPM in the bull regretted it or put old one back in?
1) Pic of controller?I just installed the 3rpm and then tried to run a test at 225. The newer controllers won't let you set the FR lower than 3. I guess I should have checked before installing the 3rpm auger. So far it's holding nicely at 225. I will have to keep testing at lower temps to see if it can get that low.
I thought i had read that the newer controllers will let it go lower, but older ones will not?I just installed the 3rpm and then tried to run a test at 225.

Yep, that's why I asked for pic.I thought i had read that the newer controllers will let it go lower, but older ones will not?
Most MFR has been 1.5% to 2.0%I’ve had mine in for about a month now. For higher temps, it works very well. I do get the occasional temperature oscillation at high temps. I get intermittent 10 - 15 degree oscillations at low temps (225). I have lowered the min feed rate to 5 and this is still happening. I also get occasional pellets overflowing the fire pot. When this happens and they ignite, an amazing amount of smoke is generated. Not sure how i can further dial this in.
YesSo, that equates to 15 or 20 on controller?
if im understanding your situation right. you are having a flameout and the temps are dropping and the grill noticed that and feeds pellets to try to bring the temp back up and once it drops low enough it will attempt to reignite. which is when you get that giant ball of smoke. and it can actually cause a small explosion but just blow the lid open and get your attention not like a bomb that blows the deck off. i would recommend you raise he feed rate to 2.0 and run it. see how that does for you. i wouldn’t recommend going lower than 2.0 anymore because i have had a flameout at 1.5 and had a similar situation to yours.I’ve had mine in for about a month now.

On my phone. Called customer support as well to ask about lowering the feed rate and they told me it wouldn't go below 3. If anyone would be so kind to tell me how to change at grill it would be much appreciated.1) Pic of controller?
2) Are you trying to adjust at grill or phone?
Ok I set to 20 on the grill settings. A little surprised customer service didn't mention this when I called.1) Pic of controller?

Looks good from hereOk I set to 20 on the grill settings. A little surprised customer service didn't mention this when I called.
Thanks a bunch! I will try 20 again.if im understanding your situation right. you are having a flameout and the temps are dropping and the grill noticed that and feeds pellets to try to bring the temp back up and once it drops low enough it will attempt to reignite. which is when you get that giant ball of smoke. and it can actually cause a small explosion but just blow the lid open and get your attention not like a bomb that blows the deck off. i would recommend you raise he feed rate to 2.0 and run it. see how that does for you. i wouldn’t recommend going lower than 2.0 anymore because i have had a flameout at 1.5 and had a similar situation to yours.
