    Camp Chef Disappointment

    OK. I did the cache wipe and re-installed the app. I assume it's the new and improved one. I called their customer assistance line to ask how I know if I got the latest version, but they don't work on Fridays, or Saturdays, or Sundays. No customer service on the days when their customers...

    Camp Chef Disappointment

    Samsung Galaxy 8. The problem with the app loading has something to do with Verizon. It loaded perfectly when I had T-Mobile.

    Camp Chef Disappointment

    Yes. I did all that Camp Chef told me to do. I put an extender 10' away from the smoker, but it's 5G.

    This is my internet router provided by Frontier. How can I change it to 4G and if I do how will the change affect other devices in my house? Can I get the extender Correct. Now that I have Verizon, the app will download, but won't open.

    This is my internet router provided by Frontier. How can I change it to 4G and if I do how will the change affect other devices in my house? Will the $20 4g extender work?

    I don't see any way to change it from 2.4/5G to anything else.

    I had no probs with T Mobile installing the app, but we just changed to Verizon and the app will download, but won't install. The girl at Camp Chef said their app doesn't like Verizon.

    I'm in Tampa area also and have Frontier. My router they installed 4 years ago is a 2336_5G. Can I get a 4G signal extender and plug it in near the grill?

    Camp Chef Disappointment

    Hey, guys. Late last year I bought a Woodwind 24 over the Rec Tec mainly because of the advertised WIFI/Bluetooth and customer service. Well the WIFI won't connect because I have 5G and they say their stuff only connects to 4G. Isn't the whole country going the 5G route? I switched cell...

    Stupid questions about new Pit Boss from a concerned noob

    Run Forrest, Run! I'm divorcing my Pit Boss Pro. First the temp swings were too much so I replaced the controller with a PID from Savannah. Temps still were a problem so I raised the thermocouple higher. Still not right. Bought a heavy heat diffuser which helped. In the meantime to...

    A couple of years and a couple years of problems.

    Finally taking the Pit Boss Pro to the Dump

    I done! I replaced the controls (Savannah) , auger, fan, ignitor three times, added a diffuser and finally I'm over this piece of #*@! Last night I was fininishing up a batch of bacon and once more, the smoke came rolling up out of the hopper as the box temp went down. I refuse to take this...

    Pit Boss or Smoke Daddy. Who's to blame?

    Yep. My old stick burner gave the best flavor.

    Pit Boss or Smoke Daddy. Who's to blame?

    I've got a Pit Boss 820. Well, there's not much stock Pit Boss left. Unhappy with the heat fluctuations I put in a Smoke daddy controller. To finally make that work I had to replace the auger, fan, and add a heat deflector. I've also replaced two igniters in the last six months and the...

    PitBoss temp issues

    Flint, look for my thread Pit boss fubar to see what I went through trying to get mine to stay closer to setpoint. I, too, was unhappy, so I tried to buy a Savannah PID controller, but finding none available, went for the Smoke Daddy. It got worse. I wound up replacing the fan, controller...

    Pit Boss/Smoke Daddy FUBAR

    Well, I asked Smoke Daddy to mod the diffuser to fit my machine, and they did NOT, but per Dennis' suggestion I just squashed the curved drip pans a little and it fit right in. I also made a bracket to move the RTD away from the left side to more in the middle. Result? To quote Etta James...

    Pit Boss/Smoke Daddy FUBAR

    Yes I put it directly on the firepot. In retrospect, kind of stoooopid on my part! Anyway, a bonafide heat diffuser is on it's way.

    Pit Boss/Smoke Daddy FUBAR

    I tried the frypan but must have done it wrong. I put it right over the burner and it sent all the smoke back to the pellet hopper. This Pit Boss/Smoke Daddy has been an expensive frustrating experience. My advise to ANYONE who wants precision control is NOT to try to save a little money with...

    Pit Boss/Smoke Daddy FUBAR

    That's what Smoke Daddy now says. My question is why didn't they tell me that when I ordered the controller? I told them the exact model of grill I had. Anyway, where do I find a thicker heat diffuser?
