Owner experience
What repeats after the purchase
Owner discussion repeatedly returns to two-controller workflow, hopper bridging and cleaning rather than specifications alone.
These are self-reported experiences from a changing mix of owners, conditions and software versions. They identify questions to test, not a failure rate.SignalWhat owners reportOur readEvidence
two-controller workflow, hopper bridging and cleaning
Owners repeatedly return to hot spots, grease fires, controller and probe accuracy, app outages, seals, igniters, ash, paint and ceramic care, fuel storage, replacement parts and whether a large cooker is pleasant on ordinary weeknights.
List the meals that truly need simultaneous zones before accepting the larger machine.
