ETECTION

 

This feature allows quick recovery to the temperature setpoint after the lid is opened. Open lid detection is set to 
ON by default. When the lid is opened, the temperature will drop which can cause the fan to overfire the coals 
and cause overshoot once the lid is shut. The control will detect when the lid or door is open and minimize the 
fan’s output during that time.  

NOTE: 

Some overshoot will always be present when the pit’s lid or door is opened and closed, even if the fan 

is off as oxygen will still be introduced into the fire.  

To disable this feature, toggle off Open Lid from the Controller Settings in the menu.
