Brand new to the pellet grill game as of this afternoon. I’m doing the 400° burn in right now and I’ve far exceeded the target temperature. Is this a calibration issue, or what? I’d like to avoid this during a real cook.

    I did mine a few weeks back. Just ride it out, you’ll be fine. It will overshoot, then cool, then overshoot again until it settles in.
    Even though it’s calibrated at the factory, I still use and external and recalibrate for each cook

    Recteq’s will even out after a few cooks. My 380x was wacky at first but now holds like a champ. Also make sure you don’t need a firmware update for it in the app
