Control Tuning 225/230 won't work

rhailey931 · 2024-10-11T23:55:46-0400

I just picked up a PB850PS2 and downloaded the Pitt Boss app on my android.

Connected to the grill, named it, successfully updated the grill, and can connect to it with no problem. The problem comes when I try to control the grill. I get a Pop up that says set the grill to 225 or 230 to fine tune the controls. It says the popup will disappear automatically once the grill accepts the setting.

Except it doesn't. Ever.

And when I cancel to try later, as the app suggests, it kicks me out of control mode.

I have meater thermometers, so this isn't a show stopper, but it's annoying.

Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks!

Welcome from Texas to the group!
I don’t have that on my 820 but I have seen other folks in here that have it and will be able to help you.

Delete your smoker from the app; delete the app; reload both using the latest update. Stand next to the smoker throughout the whole reload/update.

So, the PITBOSS Grills app is reportedly STILL wonky for some folks even since the latest updates. Many have issues due to their personal Wi-Fi setup.

Although they are well aware and are working on it you can always Call Danson’s customer service at 877.303.3134 or 480.923.9630 for information or suggestions for the new app, and you can also contact and leave a review for the app developer directly … their support contact information is on the developer page in the app store.
