Also, I hope that y’all are reaching out to prominent BBQ TH-camrs to thoroughly review the Tahoma and have them start pumping out lots of videos. This is how the Masterbuilt gravity grill and the Char-Griller Gravity 980 grill became so popular so quickly over the last few years. Definitely start with Tommy from Gallery Backyard BBQ and Tom Horsman on TH-cam. Those two channels are excellent at reviewing grills and smokers.
i have 1 coming . i am small youtuber with over 45 years of bbq experience. in my hands i can make this pit sing. i do a very honest reviews. i hold back on nothing..
@@ScottysBackYardBBQ cool! I’ll keep an eye out for it. This new smoker looks like it might give the Masterbuilt and Char-Griller Gravity 980 a run for their money. Definitely has a smoother look. And I like how the hopper is lower so it’s easier to fill.
Nice! Does the grill’s ambient temp probe (mounted inside the cook chamber on the left side) provide the actual temp reading to the PID controller or does the controller apply an algorithmic calculation to that temp reading to estimate the temp in the center of the cook chamber? So are we seeing actual temps or estimated temps? Thanks!
Great question. The algorithm we use is proprietary but what we can tell you is that we correlate the average chamber temperature to the sensor and use this with a PID controller to regulate the fan speed. Hope this helps!
@@OklahomaJoesSmokers Ok, so the temp being displayed on the controller is not necessarily the actual temp being sensed by the ambient temperature probe inside the cook chamber, but rather an estimate of the average temperature for the center of the cook chamber. Thank you. Char-Griller and Masterbuilt do something similar with their PID controllers. Tommy from The Gallery Backyard BBQ on TH-cam performed a biscuit test on the Tahoma the other day. He had a separate ambient temp probe placed in the center of the cook chamber and the reading between his unit and the Tahoma’s controller was only off by a difference of four degrees, which isn’t bad at all.

@@coreym3675 yes seems to be built good. I own to mb560s I will compare the 2

are there any fan switches om the lids? i watched a few videos and nobody talked about fan or fan switches.
it has a switch on the hopper lid and ash bin drawer

Do you know when this will be available in Australia?
