Look at the cable storage devices on Fireboards website. Work great for me.

Yes. Dump the app and use the Smart Life app. You will also regain use of your remote grill start.

No problem here since I got this fan to push the smoke out.

What did y'all think was going to occur when the government was sending everyone pandemic relief funds to every citizen regardless of their situation? Greenbacks can't be printed out of thin air and not devalue the currency. We are paying for that sin committed by both parties who were buying...

Two traits of the device made it a non starter for me. First I didn’t notice a stronger smoke profile. Second, instructions tell you to crack open the lid to help release the extra heat being added to the pit. In my experience with my RT700, cracking open the lid made the pit temps oscillate...

Yes. More accurate, reliable and comprehensive data. RT is not in same league as FireBoard. Probably why Yoder uses them for their cookers. I also use it for the fan control on my Weber kettle if I need to press it into service.

I did because I use a Fireboard for all temp reporting.

Thanks again Buckeye. The Smart Home app loads and functions just as advertised! Problem solved.

They have no intention of improving it. Deal with it or use the Smart Life app and kiss RT goodbye.

Thanks Buckeye. I like that option better than leaving my cooker on for three hours because I cannot turn it on remotely. Sometimes schedules are tight and remote start was a good option in that situation.

This bs doesn't pass the stink test. It would have been prudent to inform all the customers of the change via email blast or letter mail. I just found out about this bs while I was away from home and wanted to preheat my grill. This development is a deal breaker for me. I already have to use a...

I have no reason to use the Meater. I'm a disciple of "if it ain"t broke don't fix it".

My son got me a Meater for Christmas. After reading the instructions and threads like this, it will stay in the box. My Fireboard works every time and is dead on accurate. I don't want to spend one minute worrying if temps are accurate.

I will continue to repeat myself. 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...
