Hey there! Here is the latest from this evenings troubleshooting. Here is exactly what I just submitted to RecTeq support:
"
Good evening,
The last two days I have been troubleshooting massive temperature swings on multiple burn-in attempts. I called support twice and the first time we put the...
I understand your point. My biggest concern right now is that if I go to do smash burger, steak, or whatever on my sear kit. It would be really unfortunate if I get hit with those low temp swings during that high temp cook.
Is there a guide somewhere on how to adjust the igniter rod? Also - can firmware upgrades only be applied by RecTeq or is this a function in the app? I work in IT so I very familiar with the technical components, but I have not been able to get it to connect to my WiFi where I could use the app...
Yes this is good info. I do not recall the exact temperature, but I fully read the manual prior to using and it only indicated that I should not interrupt the shutdown process/timer (which I have not). It did not mention anything about the high temperature pre-caution prior to triggering...
Here is the ignition video:
I ran another burn-in for an hour and had some sporadic temperature results. I also noticed a slight noise difference (quieter) when it hits a point where it starts to drop temperature again. I am uploading a longer video of that now and will post when the upload is...
That makes sense. I am going to try and burn-in again here in a few minutes and see what it does. If it fails I intend on cleaning it all out and testing different pellets this weekend. I will also follow up with some video of the temperature swings.
The fan appears to be working correctly from what I can tell. I am going to test out your pellet advice and see what it will do this weekend. I appreciate the info!
LOL yeah... to be honest it was just the first thing that came to mind while I was frustrated I had to engage a community to get better info on troubleshooting. Official support seems copy pasta.
Hi,
First time RecTeq owner here and I wanted to share my initial experience. I should also mention that I knew very little about RecTeq, but heard nothing but greatness from friends who recommended them. So, I was assuming the cost would equal quality, maybe kind of sorta? I do not know how to...
