Yeah, but I wanted to follow the directions. It all worked out though.

@@BosBackyardBBQ Why did you pick this one with the analog controller instead of the 700D4 with the WiFi controller. Your controller has fixed settings, 250, 275,399. You can't set at say 235.The other one is $40 less.

@@BosBackyardBBQ Ok. I understand. No cost to you. Should run pretty similar to your Traeger then. Similar contollers. My last two pellet systems were the Camp Chef Deluxe 24 with WiFi. I used it in combo with my Maverick and it was a really good controller. I also had the Pit Boss Onyx cabinet. It had the controller with 5 degree increments. To be honest with you, after six years, I gave up on using pellet grills and got rid of them all. I have a Fuego Element Pro gasser for every day use for quick meals. I'm also using a Weber Performer 22" for my charcoal smoking and grilling. I started out over 50years ago with charcoal and there is just something combined with wood chunks a pellet grill just can't match. But, we all know I'm old and senile and my opinions don't mean jack. I'll be waiting to hear what you have to say in your side by side with your Traeger. I know you really liked that grill.
