Firmware Update to Version 04077 - It's Here - FINALLY

[Lew Newby]

I cooked some Beef sticks today and my EX6 updated the firmware during the cook. Now we get to see how it performs.

Keep us updated, I never made the change to the last one.
It runs great didn’t want to take a chance.

I sure will. I updated the software when it came out and I haven't had a problem on either grill. I have read several reports in the FB group by credible people that indicates improved performance with smokeboost. I always had temp excursions in smokeboost before I updated the software and I haven't had that problem on either grill since the update.

Nice find !!! I cooked last night on my SF and it wasn't updated yet.

I'll try tomorrow

Thanks for letting us know

Hi Lew, my SF acted weird. Tried to update, right away it said software update , but I already had the latest software . No Firmware showing up for me

Some folks had notifications of the update on their controller screen. I never did or I was inside when it displayed it. Don't know. I finished my cook and checked the app for firmware version and it didn't show the update. After I shutdown, I turned it back on, checked the app, and it showed the new firmware version. Their update process still has baffling inconsistencies.

I checked before I started and the new Firmware was not listed in the website. It's showing up now, but still no luck updating.... The right screen shot shows what the grill said when I first connected to it. But I already had the latest software

Ok. Just got it. Started the grill to 200, shut it down a minute later, and then it showed updated.. now I'm gonna have to smoke something this weekend, Thanks Lew for finding it.

Great. Perseverance pays.

Improved Pre-heat times - now I like that! I look forward to seeing more consistent smoke with smokeboost on.

 

[Bruno]

Updated this morning, big cook next weekend. Looking forward to trying it out.

Getting a glitch. Grill started fine and seems to be running ok but check out the pics. Alternating between showing me an update available and then disappears...

 

[Don D.]

Cook is coming along, but now the only option from the app is to shutdown ?? I can't deactivate Smokeboost or change temp from the app. After changing the temp at the control panel, now the app shows multiple options.... DISAPPOINTING after all the time they had to fix this

 

[Bruno]

Delete the app and re download it.

Software is very glitchy. Cook finished and the Cowboy Steak was fantastic as usual. I shut down the grill from the app and it never told me"it is now she to power off grill" it just showed shutting down even though it already shut down... And temp was at a safe level to put the cover on. Really disappointing.....

Bruno: I will try that but couldn't do that during a cowboy Steak smoke and sear. I'll try that tomorrow. Besides I've had this software already for a few flawless cooks, not sure why it went bad

I got my notification about 3 days later. But the old firmware did the same thing with notifications at times.
