Temp now is not fluctuating or spiking. It is between +40 too 100 degrees hotter than controller thinks. Also controller jumps 30 deg in one second once in a while. Bad RTD and or controller and not first one. Almost ruined good pork steaks with SOB.

This is sad to hear. Hopefully CC will help you get a resolution.

That's a bummer. Thank goodness you were monitoring the cook..Thinking out loud, if you like the pit and continue to have electrical gremlins haunt you, a 3RD party controller may be the answer.

Trying to decide weather to go that route and spend another $200+ or take a beating selling on CL. Buying a new grill is not a cheap option but could cut down on frustrations.

 
 Homer, does that we will loose you?  Hopefully not!  Is there an other pellet pit you are considering? 

Perhaps things will change, who knows. Personally, I am glad you are still hanging around.

If the brand of pit and/or the poor support was the driver in deciding to sell your pit, rest assured not all American companies treat us Canadians poorly. I have had nothing but excellent service from Memphis

in the US..
