Cooked a little bit of everything today

It’s very similar to all the other traditional pellets grills. Manufactured in Houston fairly close to me so parts are easy to get. But it’s built like a tank. I wasn’t sure about the roll top but it’s growing on me fast. Really easy to open, doesn’t knock things off the front shelf when opening and rolling motion doesn’t pull the air out when opening. Only issue so far is setting up the Wi-Fi. Can’t get my iPhone or iPad to connect. Very different compared to my Smokefire.
 
The WIFI may be due to the 2.4ghz and 5ghz thing. Sometimes if your router's SSID has both bands simultaneously they can't differentiate. My thermostat when the heating guys installed it 4 years ago had that issue. The WAP my son in law had set up in my house at the time had a way to set the radios up on 2 different SSID. So, he set up one on 2.4 only as "Thermostat" and the other SSID was left the same with both bands. Then I set the stat to look only for it's own SSID.
Finally after a couple updates and now with the EERO 6+ I don't have to do that. One SSID with both bands is just fine. But some older design WIFI equipment still cannot differentiate and will be difficult.
Might set up a guest network on 2.4 only if you can and give it a try. Or turn your 5ghz off until once it's set up then turn it back on

I understand what you are saying. Same holds true for the Wi-Fi controllers I have used for years on my Kamado grills.

My issue with this is the initial connection to the unit from my phone. Has nothing to do with my home Wi-Fi or router.
I can see the Wi-Fi signal from the Pitts & Spitts unit on my phone but it won’t connect to enter the setup. I have also tried to manually set the IP.

I’ve done that myself. Although mine usually involves ice cream or candy or cookies. Generally pretty well behaved with meat haha.

I’ll have to look up that grill, haven’t heard of it or seen before. Looks solid and I love the grates
