I just bought one and had similar temp problems.

What are the problems? You listed them out but now you’ve edited out all the details?

In his 3 posts, he listed or alluded to 4 different issues.

1. Grease flowing in the wrong direction from the drip pan.
2. Customer service issues. "They keep saying they will take care of it but all rhetoric until I see my money..."
3. Temperature swings of plus or minus 100*. (since edited out of one post)
4. WiFi issues.

As of now, would not purchase. Nothing but problems. Trying to get them to take it back. Wireless would not connect, controller was all over the place with temps and shut down on me in the middle of a grill. Threw $100 worth of ribs into the garbage with 35 people waiting for their dinner. Drip tray even though installed correctly dripped the entire meal into the left side. Had to scrape an inch of grease out of the bottom. Never again. I want my money back. They keep saying they will take care of it but all rhetoric until I see my money.

I've had two rec tecs, and both are absolutely flawless. LOVE the wifi connections on my new one, which means I don't need my fireboard any more. Temp never varies more than 10 degrees EVER even over long Brisket cooks... Drip pan can't drain backwards if installed correctly (and you really can't install it incorrectly unless your grill is sitting at a 25 degree angle LOL).

You've got a point. I have never heard tell of melted animal fat flowing uphill either.
