TG - didn't realize you were still having Wifi issues. Silly question but did you install the antenna that screws into the control board? If so, I agree that turning the grill off and reloading the app to your smartphone seem appropriate next steps.
You can also check the version of software...
TG - I've seen posts indicate that every grill seems to have its quirks. RecTecs (which I strongly considered) have a problem with a bent mount internal to the smoker on some units leaving the racks teetering on the heat deflectors. RecTec's cure? Get a hammer and pound the bracket into the...
So I updated the software to v6.4 (prototype) from the stock v6.0. My grill had been running as much as 50F hotter than set temperatures at the higher end (350F set - actual temps 400F mid grill). So after checking with GMG-CS, I updated the software. I had a choice of v6.3 (most up-to-date...
What mowin' said. If you like a bit more on the rare side of medium-rare, try 135. You can always cook more, you can't cook less!
BTW - GMG CS got back to me. Seems I'm running old software on my WiFi enabled version. I updated to the latest version (prototype v6.4). Going to try that. ...
Tikigriller - try not to get too discouraged. Part of this is learning the grill - at least that's what I'm telling myself! Across the grill, when I first started it, I was getting less than 12F from left, center, right sides of the grill. I can live with that variation across the surface. ...
With the GMG-DB cooled off, I took it apart to check the heat disperser. When set in a centered position, the V-shaped underside diverts the majority of the heat the right - no wonder there was large temperature disparity! I slid it to the right so that the center of the V was biased in that...
Did ribs yesterday. Had them at 180F for about an hour, then up to 230F. I had trouble with temperature variation between the right and left side. I've had it before, but this seemed way off. I played with the heat shield and slide it a bit to the right. Obviously not enough because towards...
Same as mowin. Wrapped foil on the grease trays. Also on temperature, I noticed that with my Maverick 732 the grill is spot on at about 150F/165F. Once the temperature goes higher (250F), the GMG-DB is about 25F to 50F high. Worse as I go higher! With the Maverick, I can adjust...
Invest in a good digital thermometer. I use the Maverick for both grill temperature and food temperature. Way more accurate. I have had good results with chicken, pork shoulders, and brisket. For the salmon, it was pretty foolproof.
Forgot the "corporate" recipes. About the only value from...
Don't feel bad - its all a learning curve. Did smoked salmon tonight. Used a recipe that had me dry brining overnight with brown sugar and salt, then rinsing, air drying, then smoking. Turned out mostly well, but a tad on the salty side. The recipe is better for smoked salmon as an appetizer...
