We'll test it out today. I noticed the lights didn't scroll 1-4 like they normally do but it says 4025. I hope they work on the auger reversing I believe cutting that back or stopping it all together would really help with some of the problems.

Smoking a shoulder today, went out and got the grill started. Went inside, started app and the update popped up. So now the smokefire is going through shutting down to accept it. Wish I had seen this before I started the grill. Guess for now on, I will open the app before starting a cook.

Much smoother firmware update for me. Nice that the app actually let you know the update was complete and to initiate a shutdown. I probably won’t get to actually test it out this weekend unfortunately.

With this update I can reach max temp with my SF again. Super happy!

Update done and smokeboost is on. Plan to let it bath in the smoke for 2 hrs and then cook at 275.

Thought the last update was to fix everything????????

The previous update was an extra feature update. This one is an algorithm update

 

[ELYNJ]

this is fixing the FS locking-up and shutting down, and WiFi dropping, etc.

Thanks for the heads up!!

Just installed. Hopefully it will work.

Thanks for info! Glad to see Weber continuing to make small improvements!

I have noticed huge improvements in all areas. Hoping they continue on a brisk pace to some of the more elaborate potential options.

Anyone else have trouble with the Smoke Boost? I did some faux brisket with a couple tri tips yesterday. Started them on the Smoke Boost for about an hour, and then cranked it up to 275. After 20 minutes, the pit dropped from 110 to 90. I checked the fire pot, and sure enough, both the fire pot and feed ramp were filled with unlit pellets. Had to light them with a torch to get it going.
