Hello all, just received my stampede today. Put it together and put in some treager pellets. Set to 400 for burn in. Got app hooked up on phone, and it did not move off 400 for first hour. Impressive! For the second hour of burn in I put a grill mat with four bacon wrapped chicken breasts on grill to burn in / season the grill. Right away it bypassed 400 and app said it is to hot. Got 425 and was still climbing. I opened lid to cool it down but it kept climbing way above set point. Finally after about 5th time. It seems to be regulating very accurate again within 5 degrees. Question is this normal first time cooking something on it? I heard blower slow down when it got close to 400 but than it would crank up again and just kept temp climbing. Maybe it is good now.
