So I made a post earlier about the meat probe. Well, I am going to call RT in the morning about it. In the meantime, I cleaned out the grill and fired it up to reverse sear some thick steaks I picked up today. Well, Even with the temp set at 350 I cannot get it to go over 165, and then it even dropped slowly. It's up to 170 right now but I fired it up over a half hour ago and have never had it take this long to get hot. I'm only trying to get it up to 250 for starters, but as I mentioned, raising up the temp setting does not change the results I'm getting. It's 68 and breezy outside, no rain, and I cannot think of what would cause this. The pellets are fresh and everything appears to be feeding/working correctly except it won't heat up to temp. What am I missing?

Contact RT.
 
Check my previous posts. I had exact same issue. You need the new controller. I thought to myself it was an auger or ignitor issue, but sure enough just the controller change and boom I'm in business again. They sent me a new one under warranty. 15 to 20 mins to replace...maybe less if your fingers aren't sausages.
 
It has to be a controller issue. My 380 goes to temp quickly. I did a cook yesterday at 32F and windy outside. From freezing to 500F in 8.5 minutes. My controller version is 1.03.
That is the latest shipped version.
