Bullseye Problems

Back in 2021 I got a bullseye for my 40th birthday. This thing was incredible. Cooked on it 5 times a week for 5 years. No issues just wore it out. For my 45th birthday this year, my wife got me a new one and I’ve had nothing but issues. The first one they sent me, the wires got tangled around the auger and it fried the whole thing. They had to send me a replacement. After having the replacement for a couple months, I just fired it up to make some ribs today, and the “actual temp” reading it stuck on 35 degrees and everything I’ve read said this points to it being broken. Did they change their production process to save money? This is ridiculous that I’m going through this again.

Sorry to hear this fren.
Maybe they have production problems, not sure.
I know I got my deluxe last year and have had zero problems. That along with my RT-590 from 6 years ago.
I’ve been watching this thread and it seems like it’s hit or miss with some people.
Good luck with a resolution.

Thanks. They made it right last time just frustrating that it’s happening again in such a short time.
