Hey all
Purchased a pitboss pro series 4 v2 with wifi, bluetooth, and pid control. I was so excited for this because I was waiting for the brunswick forever to be available.
Well, I exchanged the first one because I thought it was defective only to have the same issue with the second.
It takes forever to heat up. Here are some timers pictures showing how long it takes.
Please tell me my mind isn't crazy and it should not take this long? Tech support is trying to help but I am not very confident that will be fixed prior to my 30 day return window (Bought on 1/6/21).
This was with ambient temp of 45 degrees Fahrenheit. This was just hitting power and turning up the temp to 350 once I closed the door.
Upon talking with tech support, they suggested instantly turning it to 200 right when I turn it on and let it hit that first before increasing to higher. Well after 43 minutes it wouldn't get above 180 so I shut it down to not waste more pellets. Ambient temp in mid 50's at this point.
Finally this was the instantly setting the temp to 350 upon power on. Fastest but still nearly an hour to reach 350. Ambient temp in the mid 60's.
