That's probably their highest internet speed, not wi-fi speed. In either case though, yes, 100 mbps is plenty for what the controller needs. 1 mbps would even be enough - it doesn't need much.

I'm not saying *you* are to blame.... but I have 4 now. ;) Welcome aboard, Magellan!

If you can convince all your friends and family to get a smoker and have the room to store a bunch of pellets, put a bulk buy together (sometimes you can get in on an ongoing one in your area) My problem with my local RK is that I'm at their mercy when it comes to what 'flavors' they have in...

They're Lumber Jack (800 pounds worth :D ) and from what I've heard, lots of brands are having that problem lately. I've gotten in the habit of dropping a new bag in the floor a few times like you might a bag of ice. One bag of LJ that I got at rural King a few months had some long ones, but...

This should get me through...

It's not heavy - it's basically a charcoal kettle with a hopper stuck to the side. The original design has the handle at the front, so you carry most of the weight when you move it (and it flexes enough that if you try that when it's running, the fan goes 'brrrrrrrrt') The weight isn't making...

Stand by your essay! That's good stuff! I might try parchment paper! Hey, if it works for cooking bacon..... it might make the time on the grill a little better. Hmmm.... that might make it easier to put the stone in the grill, par bake it there, move / top / put back in grill. You get a...

Ended up modding the Bullseye's wheels this week. Never have liked the height or the dumb pegs up front. I'll eventually get one of those fancy carts ya'll have, but this makes wheeling it around the patio much easier and moves it up a few inches. I kinda ruined any "through the yard"...

If you're trying to 'oven cook' on the grill, any good pizza stone works fine. We tend to want to 'smoke' the pizza more, so we'll par-bake the crust on the stone in the oven, dress it however, then just throw it right on the grates.

I swear I remember seeing something in the packaging that sad not to use the cover in temps > 60F but it's possible I'm misremembering. Or maybe RecTec told me that? In either case, it seems like a bad idea to leave it on year round but I have no factual basis for that opinion.

The cover on my 680 which I think is the same does not cover the ends, basically just the lid. It works well - I've had the smoker running with below freezing temps out. I've seen a lot of people have good luck just using welding blankets instead of paying for the RT branded. I'm not that...

@abed77 - how are those HF tires holding up? I'm trying to find either a decent solid rubber set or just go pneumatic. Either because of age or concrete, the original Libras are driving me nuts with the flat spotting.

Oof... yeah, go back 1 page and you'll see the 700s started shipping with the flared legs late last year. Yo @Mike - may want to update post #1 Has anyone found better wheels? I know I said before that I didn't get the flat spots like others mentioned, but mine was usually sitting on dirt or...

Did anyone actually get a lid spacer with their 380? The instructions have it listed, but it wasn't in my parts at all. I'm assuming it should have been in that ridiculous blister pack of parts? Someone else said they didn't think the 'new' version needed one.

Just to wrap this one up a little - I had emailed them a picture early in the day, but as it got closer to 5 I was getting antsy because I wanted to know if I could use it without, if it was user replaceable so go ahead and assemble the grill, and if the replacement might make it in time for the...
