I got a Bullseye about a month ago and I have been having some major issues getting the temps to hold anywhere close to the controller temp. For example I will set the controller to 225F and it says it is holding steady, +/- a couple degrees. However my meat has been cooking pretty fast compared to what I would expect. I put a couple ambient temp probes in the center of the grill and near the Bullseye probe and wow it is hot. My calibrated probes are reaching temps in the center about 1" above the grate of over 360F and near the Bullseye probe over 300F. Controller still reads 225F. Even the RecTeq meat probe verifies this.
Now I called Recteq and adjusted the temperature offsets on the controller, I am maxed out +20 on the temp controller and still it is hot at around 250-260F ambient, but way better.
Has anyone else experienced this? And does anyone else know of any better fixes?
