Blackstone Connect

Would like to see a function that would let me pick the species and shows the proper temp to doneness and the current meat probe temp next to it with an alarm that goes off in the phone when meat is up to correct temp. Other than that it works just fine for what it is.

I own a 22" XL Griddle Pellet Grill Combo. I’ll start with the hopper. The design has a flaw that allows the pellets to stack up on the sides and while I put almost 40 pounds of pellets in it, they stack on the sides and only a small portion feeds into the hopper. This has caused incidents where I run out of pellets, as in the hopper is still 3/4 full but the auger is empty and lost its prime so the fire has gone out. On to the connectivity issue. I have owned the grill for about a year now and not once, with all the ‘fixes’ and work around a I’ve read about and tried, has it connected to WiFi. I don’t know if it’s a grill issue or an app issue but one of the main reasons I bought this grill was to have WiFi connection to monitor temps as I continue my busy life. I wish I had the luxury of sitting down and checking the grill every 15 minutes but that’s not possible for me and the reason I bought a grill with WiFi and notification to let me know when things were getting done.

I was very worried after reading many of the reviews of this app. I’m using this with the new BRONCO pellet grill, and my experience hasn’t been perfect, but much better than I was expecting. Connectivity can be spotty, but not as bad as others have expressed. I will say that connecting the grill to Wifi and then using cellular data vs Wifi or Bluetooth on your phone has the best uninterrupted connection. The interphase is OK. I would like to see some improvements in the near future: - More significant alarming options, the notifications are not “alarm” style, and could be easily missed. Make it like an alarm clock - able to wake someone from a nap, for example. - Ability to set alarms around the grills internal temperature probe, which would be extremely helpful in the case of significant tempature rise or falls, such as a flame out. Adding these features would make this app a 5/5 for me.
