For the last month or so I have not been able to use my SmokeFire. Using the upgraded app, I decided to use the cooking program for my 16 lb turkey. 3.5 hours at 350 degrees. Dinner at 3, decided to start early around 10:30.
Selected the turkey program and my EX4 got up to temp right away. Turkey in, probe one 38 degrees and we are smoking. Time to finish 3 hours. Ok. Checked on it about 15 min later, temp down to 180 and cook time now 2 hours. Few minutes later 200 and now 1 hour cook time.
Changed to temp cook only. Set probe temp to 165. SmokeFire came back up to 350. Then back down to 180.
At 11:40 Turkey is 94 degrees and SmokeFire 350. At 11:50 Turkey 102 and SmokeFire 295.
Got my Weber gas grill ready if needed. After almost a year, I still can't trust my SmokeFire EX4. New auger, new CPU, new screen and updated ramp. Time to disassemble and put into the trash. Couldn't in good conscience sell it to anyone else.
I wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and best of luck.
