FYI - Some have speculated that the new controller on the Rec Tec, was actually at least possibly developed by the same people as who did the controller on the Traeger Timberline.   Some people have said that in early versions of the app used, it actually had Traeger's name somewhere in it... (  although I can't offer any proof of that being the case ).

 Not sure if there is any aspect of all that that is copyrighted , or patented in any way.

I don't know about Traeger, but I downloaded the App very early on to check it out (even though I didn't have the new wifi) and when you went to update the app, it would error out showing some Chinese text and information. I didn't pay much attention to it.

 Yes, well my point is... we don't really know who is exactly responsible for developing the code, or who owns the rights to the code...  So, just because another grill uses a controller that looks identical, it's very hard for any of us to say who actually 'owns' the rights to use or sell it...  It may , or may not be Traeger... and for that mater it may or may not be Rec Tec either.

I always thought the RecTec controller was from Roanoke?  Also used by Blaz’N. The new one I’m unsure of.

Lifesmart was the company that had the bullseye on selling it back when it came out. Think they also had the disc cooker whatever they called it.

They switched away to their own knockoff of the Roanoke controller a few years ago. The new controller is definitely not a Roanoke controller
