Alright yall. This big beast is finally put together and rolling smoke. PIC 1
Couple notes on assembly. Overall fantastic and easy. Feels very sturdy and solid. There were a couple very small issues outside of my control. For example PIC 2 the pre-installed gasket was misaligned and over the bolt hole.
I'm 30 minutes into the burn in and here are initial thoughts.
Super easy to use, obviously....
Took a little over 6 minutes to get to set temp of 350 PIC 3
Already noticing smoke coming out of lid but not really anywhere else PIC 4 will probably get some gasket for it.
The app is nice. Was easy to connect and simple to use. PIC 5
As expected, it had a lot of temp fluctuation at the beginning but once it got going, it stayed pretty steady until I opened it and the jumped all over again as you can see in the graph in the app PIC 6
I have a 4 probe Thermopro so I set all the probes up to measure temp at the grates. They are positioned 1-4 right to left 1 starting nearest the firebox PIC 7 Average temp across the 4 probes at that time is 356 and about 30 degrees lower than what the grill was saying. Which is what I had already read online.
That's all I've got for now, I'll add update if needed at the end of the full hour burn in!
