Pro 575 Not Achieving Temperatures

Yes, I only went with the Amazon bundle for secondary reasons. I would have preferred to do the ones offered by RecTec. I don't have any experience with GMG, so one just has to do some careful comparisons I guess. The customer support and warranty (4 years) from RecTec is outstanding but having to order one is admittedly a pain.

So you haven't received yours yet, correct? I think I remember reading that, unless I was thinking of someone else. I just wanted to get more information about the app. I haven't heard good things. Not that the one for the GMG is great, I just heard it was better.

I got mine last Friday and have done 3 cooks on it already. Actually I like the app a lot (iOS version). It is very similar to the Traeger one but you can access quite a few of the grill settings from it as well. You can't program a recipe in it, but that's not something I was doing anyway. Unlike Traeger, you can actually ignite the grill from the app.

The big complaint I heard is push notifications. Once things come to temperature you aren't made aware. You have to consistently watch the app to keep track of temps. Not a huge selling point, but I know I will be using the app.

Umm, yes that would be a nice feature. I suppose they'll add that at some point. Can't be that hard. For me the grill itself is still the most important point. With that said, the GMG grills look really nice as well.
 
It's not like the traeger app is all that great. Mine will stop working, freeze or crash. It's not a constant problem but it's there and random when it will do it...

The Traeger app would often sit and spin trying to connect to my grill. At least I haven't had that problem with the RecTec one.

If you do take possession of one, report back on how it goes. Hopefully it lives up to expectations, otherwise I'm going to look really bad :)
 
Hahaha bro let it shine and be happy, it works hahah.

I'll definitely come back and let ya know how it is... watched some videos of it and man that smoker is a TANK!
 
Well ladies and gents I pulled the trigger and just ordered a Rec Tec. Sorry Trager but kinda let me down.
