With the new grilla grills updated alpha connect controller do you think reqtec will come out with a similar feature like grilla grills temp tamer
Follow along with the video below to see how to install our site as a web app on your home screen.

I could be wrong on this, but I don't believe RecTeq bases their controller on what Grilla is or isn't doing.With the new grilla grills updated alpha connect controller do you think reqtec will come out with a similar feature like grilla grills temp tamer
I was more impressed with the way they did it. I thought a door switch would be necessary but obviously not.Is this really a game changer? My spikes are usually only about 10-15º, it seems no different than adding another log on the old stick burner. Not a real big deal at all.
If I’m flipping chicken wings, basting ribs, spritzing a pork butt, I see temp spikes way above 10-15* when I close the lid. Additionally, on the Bullseye there are times I want to use It like a charcoal grill with the lid open at a set temp without going into riot mode to compensate. So yes, it it works as advertised, it would be a game changer for me.Is this really a game changer?

Not totally familiar with the bullseye but even so, the temp tamer pauses the auger and does not add pellets. It seems to basically re-check the temp once the lid closes and the timer expires then add pellets slowly to get up to temp again without overshooting it. Need to see the logic in the program to make a better assessment of how it works. Those of you with more experience with pellet poopers can probably see the need.If I’m flipping chicken wings, basting ribs, spritzing a pork butt, I see temp spikes way above 10-15* when I close the lid.

Watching the video, that’s not how I interpreted the temp tamer to work. What I took from the video is that it locks the current auger feed rate and doesn’t increase the feed rate to compensate for the drop in temp recorded by the RFD probe because the lid is open. Discussed in the video at the 55 second mark.Not totally familiar with the bullseye but even so, the temp tamer pauses the auger and does not add pellets.
It could, too bad there's no way to update firmware.This feature could easily be added to the app.
Of course they did. The holiday weekend when everyone wanted to use their fancy smoker and actually needed their alerts to work has ended. RecTeq's minimal AWS resource monthly investment is once again sufficient to handle the amount of traffic a typical Wednesday generates.@Newb -- I alerts worked yesterday.
If this is the case I'd like to know what issues they are running into. I work within AWS all the time and AWS scales very nicely and even during extremely busy times it would be easy to scale up and then scale back down... all of this could be done automatically without any intervention.RecTeq's minimal AWS resource monthly investment is once again sufficient to handle the amount of traffic a typical Wednesday generates.
I have no evidence that they even use AWS specifically but I took a guess. You say it scales but there are different options within that moving scale and delays or even outright outages can occur when traffic is high.If this is the case I'd like to know what issues they are running into.
