    Ryan- For the most part, yes.  WiFi will allow you to adjust the temps from your phone if you are on the WiFi network (at home).  Supposedly you would be able to this feature away from home if you have your home network setup as a server, which I never investigated.  Also, you can not PRE-HEAT...

    GMG Jim Bowie Firebox Distance

    New to forum, not smoking...

    Hey all.  Greg from Wisconsin.  I have been smoking and grilling for years on my 22.5" WSM and Weber Kettle.  Always had an old Charbroil gas grill for quickies but has been rusting out and now I am looking to replace with a pellet grill.  Look forward to getting good advice on what to get.
