    When server-side isn't sending information, the end user device doesn't matter. It can't create data where data doesn't exist.

    This issue has nothing to do with iPhone v Android. That's not how this works. It's a server-side issue and neither the devices or app updates have anything to do with it. Doesn't matter how good your bucket is at catching & holding water if the faucet isn't on or only works intermittently at...

    Of note, they have since taken steps to remove related marketing claims from their website. You can use the wayback machine to see they were clearly there for quite some time though. Now, it appears as though RecTeq's solution to an admitted problem is simply by covering their own eyes so it...

    Since I'm the OP of this post, I will address this: this thread wasn't created to discuss the complications with initial WiFi connection. I had no issues during initial s/u so that's not relevatnt to this conversation although I've seen LOTS of other posts that suggest that it is an overall...

    Stampede GMG pizza oven is awesome

    If you're going to extend that, I would highly recommend sourcing something capable of withstanding higher temperatures. I believe that they use mild steel and I would at least start there.

    Stampede GMG pizza oven is awesome

    My guess is that it's not a clearance issue so much as a potential melting issue due to the higher heats of the pizza attachment. I don't have the light in my RT-590 though so I can't say for sure... just a guess.

    Stampede Looking to purchase an RT-590, question about having it on a balcony

    This would have been a disaster with my recent experience that I just posted about. It would have gone from being surprised by the height of the flames and wondering if 5-7ft was far enough from the house to calling the fire department and hoping they got there quickly to put out the structure...

    Stampede Looking to purchase an RT-590, question about having it on a balcony

    I wouldn't use ANY type of grill on a balcony. Most apartment/condo complexes strictly forbid it and for good reason. I recently had a grease fire in my smoker and even though it was on a cement patio and about 7ft from the house and it was still stressful. I used to keep my smokers up against...

    Stampede RT-590 or Traeger Pro 575?

    Minor correction: it started out as heavy-use weekends like holidays (which, as you said, is when you're most likely to use it) beginning Super Bowl weekend 2021 and major holidays thereafter but quickly expanded to basically just always being broken. Recteq didn't ramp sever resources to...

    Stampede RT-590 or Traeger Pro 575?

    If you don't care about any of those things (even the ability to see temperature and adjust is b0rk, not just alarms) then this is your smoker! I said that from the jump. If nothing else I said applies to you (or will in the future) then you're Recteq's ideal customer! Personally, I have no...

    Stampede RT-590 or Traeger Pro 575?

    Do yourself a favor and research the app/notification/connectivity issues before you spend any money. Don't take my word for it. Lots of unhappy owners or Recteq products out there who were all duped by the "best customer service" claims you read on this forum... hell, in this thread. It's real...

    Stampede RT-590 or Traeger Pro 575?

    Here's one of the "you're not buying an app" Recteq apologists now. F1 racers don't have airbags and they're better drivers than me too so with your logic should I go sabotage them so they don't work so I can be just like my heroes? My livelihood isn't made by smoking and competitions so I...

    You're right. I stand corrected. Now the horns are even more stupid. :ROFLMAO:

    Stampede RT-590 or Traeger Pro 575?

    Before you spend any money, ask yourself if app notifications is an important feature of your next smoker. If so, look elsewhere. Some users don't seem to care that this feature is broken with Recteq smokers but if that's something you value... do some research about this problem that has been...
