I just need to blow off some steam or smoke,lol, about this grill. I purpose his grill on 20 Nov (first mistake was ordering it on online). Anyway the first time I actually got to use it was for a family gathering with you know it everyone curious about smoking a turkey on a grill. Things started out pretty well and of course I was bragging on how the charcoal grill and gas grill was becoming a thing in the past for BBQing and smoking. Well a few hours into the cook all of sudden the grill the grill really starts smoking big time. When we opened the grill we notice that the grill as actually on fire and had burnt out the wiring for temp gauge and stuff. After that the grill went in error 1 mode, and couldn't; use it again. Took a bad ribbing from the thanksgiving guest the rest of the day lol. Well they sent me completely new wiring and stuff. so got that done. Today I decide to try smoking a chicken cut in half. I in the mid time purposed a probe which monitors the temp inside the grill. I noticed the first time the glass gauge. and the temp gauge on the panel was about 20 to 30 degrees difference. That was a bit much I thought for the price that I paid for the grill. So I purchased an indepent grill probe and hooked it up. So I got 3 different temperatures. Not one even close to the other. To top things off all of sudden the grill shuts down to 180 and wont reset past 185 so mean meat is cooking at a temp of maybe 150 in reality. I thought I had done my homework in research even attending several national events to get view points on grills. I am about wits end. I am going to call Lousiana grills in the morning and see about wshat they will do. I am totally disappointed with there grills at this time. Has anyone else encountered such problems with the Lousianagrills? .
