Recteq App Failure

Try these. I don´t personally have them but have heard they are better then originals. https://www.amazon.com/2-Pack-Replacement-RecTeq-RT-590-Accessories/dp/B0912VV192/ref=sr_1_3?crid=3BY6K0NBH98CO&keywords=recteq+probes&qid=1701106615&sprefix=recteq+probes,aps,107&sr=8-3&th=1

the ones I got are similar from Elgin if you can find them, no issues with mine.

CPT is Combustion Predictive Thermometer. Or CI for Combustion Inc. is what it also goes by.

Thank you! (and you are a gentleman for not ridiculing me!!)

Nah, that's a Traeger forum thing...I think.

@Greg Jones is a true Kentucky gentleman, indeed! And, @Pacman is correct, we try to stay away from the ridicule stuff here. That's not to say that we don't have a little good-natured banter back and forth on occasion. This is a friendly forum.

The app and RT temp controls are essentially garbage. If you want to know whats going in that pit, you need an independent system. There are several out there that work flawlessly. I use a Fireboard system personally. One cook will show you what I am talking about. I use the app to turn on/off the grill and adjust temps, nothing more.

Get a Wifi thermometer, I am eyeing the one from Inkbird currently.

I use the inkbird Wi-Fi. My property is too large for Blu-Tooth and a great Wi-Fi configuration works well for me.

The RT-700 I have is a source of disappointment to me. After 6 cooks, I have had to replace the igniter... when I called, I got a SOB rep who wanted to argue and finally agreed that my conclusion was correct. I suppose he was obliged to take me through the diagnostic process and I was ok with going through with the process once more. Maybe the next time I call, (I hope I don't have to), I will get someone better. LOL.

You just gotta tell ‘em right up front you went into test mode, everything else works, there’s no other possible conclusion. I’ve gotten a few replacement parts, you get better at dealing with them. The more confidence you have the smoother it goes.
