• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Explain to me why?

I was walking through a Sam's Club today and saw a box that said Bluetooth Smoker on it. Why would someone need Bluetooth on a smoker? It's a smoker! You smoke food in it. Why make it complicated? How will Bluetooth help to smoke food? :banghead:
 
Really. ...

Was there a smurf under it...:roflblack::roflblack: will sell great to the youth of today...
 
I've got a GMG pellet smokers with wifi. I'm no youth, and I like the wifi features. I can be inside watching the game and monitor the temps. During the winter it was great to be inside where it's warm and adjust my temps without going outside.

Smoking meats isn't just sticking the meat on the rack and adding wood. Temps need to stay constant with as few temp swings as possible. Low and slow makes great :bbq:.
 
:shocked: Bluetooth is everywhere now... :yikes:

That is called in the media and business circles as "The Internet of Things". Wi Fi and BT chips are now so cheap they are going to stick them in everything.

We will see what comes out of it. There appears to be a lot possible benefits and questionable ones too. Anything with a clock you don't need to reset after a power outage. Thermostats that can text you when the house or cottage temp drops too low. When appliances detect a fault they send you and the manufacturer a message. Lots more that have not even been thought of yet.
 
The scary thing is everything is more and more complex electronics.

My wife and I are both retired US Navy Electronics Technicians and yet we try to find the simplest (least electronic) systems we can ....

But, even my car has 3 remotes (from the factory !!!)
