“I have a Searwood and you can set an alert for your probe, but it is just for internal temp. You can’t set a range or anything and you can’t set any alert for ambient temp. It does have a graph feature but as far as I remember it doesn’t not estimate time left. Also the ambient temp graph is basically useless as it shows a steady temp 99% of the time. From my testing with separate thermometers the ambient temp the smoker shows is usually 20-50 degrees higher than what the actual temp is. I have the Searwood 600 (not the XL) and it doesn’t have a pellet sensor, however the XL does have it on the PID itself, not sure if that connects with the app or not though. Overall I enjoy my Searwood, but I definitely do not trust the ambient temps it shows. The meat thermometer seems to be accurate though when I compare that with separate thermometers.”

“Take a look at the Recteq Bullseye. I cook burgers on mine all the time. I added the grill grates but really only use them for steaks. Riot mode takes you up to around 700F.”

“I really dislike the grill grates that I got with my bullseye. They seem to have a plastic type of non stick coating on them. Cooking steaks at 425F was like I just put them in the oven. Do you get grill marks?”
