Preheating will allow your PID controller to compensate and achieve set temperature more quickly.ģ Burn Offs at 350 degrees for 40 minutes To help their grill achieve lower set temperatures more rapidly, preheat the grill to 350°, then reduce the set temperature in increments to wherever they desire.

"With our new PID technology, the controllers are programmed to create an accurate average temperature across the grill grate, but also to prevent the grill from overshooting the set temperature. I will look again at these if they fix the issues and still don't have a different one (the couple that were also on my list are back ordered still). If I have to do this much work to get it going, I am going with a different style. This isn't the "set it and forget" smoker either. I have already done basically 3 burn offs trying to figure this issue out. Even pre-heating it at 350 still takes an hour. I move the smoker around on my patio a lot so having the ability to push it around rather than lift and pull would be nice.Here was the engineering departments response about the issue. Temp gauge missing 275-degree setting has smoke, 200, 225, 250, 300 and then goes in 50-degree increments – wish it had 275 as it’s used frequently for finishing long cooks with pork butt and brisket.
