Full Fledged Farker
I bought a 22 inch WSM and ThermoWorks Signals & Billows combo earlier this year. First cook was pretty underwhelming and the second wasn’t much better. The Signal was constantly locking up and resetting and as a result, the Billows was all over the place. I began to wonder if I’d made an expensive mistake.
Two firmware updates later, I started using the Signals on simpler/shorter cooks. Baked potato on the grill or meatloaf in the oven etc. It seemed to work pretty darn well.
I then moved on to ribs this past weekend. I have to say, I’m really relieved. Despite a bit of user error early on, it worked like a champ. LOCKED in at 230 for six hours. Zero issues with connectivity.
The app is still a bit wonky. Setting temps, it works fine. But the graphing is a hot mess (no pun intended). I can be a bit of a spreadsheet nerd and there’s not much rhyme or reason as to how it saves them.
All in all, I’m relieved that it’s now working as expected. Hopefully, they will continue to improve the app.
