App and PB Electonics Update

[Steve In Pa]

Today i did the update thing for my vertical. Based on comments here I allowed plenty of time for that. Good thing, due to connectivity issues, etc it took a while but it completed the task.

I put ribs on and all day the smoker struggled to reach target temps. See the graph.

I stayed connected all day, even during a 1 hour trip to a local fitness center for a workout.

Otherwise, I just pulled the ribs after about 5-6 hours at somewhere between 210 and 220. Some preliminary forking showed a good texture and taste. They are now towel wrapped awaiting dinner time.

Before the upgrade did it struggle to hit temps?

Not like this. The graph suggests that the smoker was happy settling in lower than what I dialed up. At completion, I did a burn off and the machine moved quickly up to the 420 range.
I’ll be watching what happens next cook.

On the plus side , it is convenient having WiFi connectivity for monitoring purposes.
