I assembled the new 590 (replacing the patio legend) and thought I would provide my observations.
Lava lock was installed on the lid, pellet cover and lid stops per many recommendations from the group.
Overall noted improvements:
*Cast iron heat deflector
*3 rpm auger motor
* New style exhaust vents.
* New controller / firmware (as I have read somewhere)? If someone has information on this, please post.
Inside, everything looked fully caulked, The grease drip tube is 100% welded on the interior, rather than spot welds to prevent seepage.
I completed the startup testing and connected to WIFI hassle-free, no issues so far.
The ramp up time for 80-400 was about 10 minutes.
Away we go, on to it's maiden voyage. I am thinking St. Louis ribs might scratch the itch.
(I'll follow up with a 180 degree jerky cook, testing the lower temp consistency soon)
Happy meat sweats!
