Hey everyone,
I just got a 590 and I'm having two strange issues. The first is that the grill struggles to get past 500 degrees. This morning it was set at 500 and just sat at 495 for like 20 minutes. When I set it to full, it barely gets to 515. It seems weird compared to what I've read about others experience with this, as well as my experience with the 340.
The other issue is that the grill struggles to maintain temps sporadically. It'll either overshoot by a wide margin (e.g. set at 275 and it'll jump to 350) or it'll undershoot once it hits it's target temp (e.g. set to 275 and drops to 250). Restarting the grill seems to temporarily fix the issue, but I'm just not sure what could be causing it. It's about 70 degrees here in SC and the grill is under a covered patio. I've adjusted the feed rate from 6.5 to 3.5 and that seemed to help the overshooting, but dropping it to 3.0 caused a ton of smoking from the hopper. This is all compounded by the fact that the app alarm doesn't work on this one, but it did on the 340. What does everyone think?
