What sort of grill needs a firmware update lol

As someone in the PNW, there is not much you can do if you don’t bring the dang thing indoors that won’t leave the thing a pile of rust in 5 years.
I am trying with a specific form of stainless to see if it makes a difference.
Nah, just give it the rattle can and paint it every now and then. "Once dor dust, twice for rust."

I see, yes i also have a stainless steel one, which is outdoors all year. Good luck, i suspect you might have just solved your "grill consumption"

But supposed they invented a whole new kind of meat and your grill wasn't ready to deal with it? How would you feel then? Pretty darn silly, that's how!

I have a friend who's really big in to smoking meats for hours and hours and days at a time. He loves this kind of thing because he can monitor the smoker without physically being in front of it.
I think he's crazy af for involving the damned internet in it but I guess it is what it is when you're "cooking" something for 9 hours.

There was a silly little movie in the 80's called "Maximum Overdrive", written and directed by Stephen King.
In it Aliens somehow cause machines to 'turn' on human beings and attack us.
They could remake that movie now but instead of Aliens causing the machines to attack people, it could be malicious 'hackers' that do it, and it would be more believable that the original film.
The plot that kicks off Battlestar Galactica (2004) happens because pretty much everything uses wireless communications, including most systems within the space ships

Have you tried ceramic? I don't know if it makes sense but just a doubt

The nosy kind. Seriously though, I'll stick with my old obsolete brinkmann

With cooking normal beats all.
Gas, coal > electric shit
eh, induction stoves are nice.

we love Z-Wave, ZigBee and Tinkerers products with Wifi
Matter is fine too. It’s off the cloud. MQTT is great but generally not exposed directly to the consumer.

Seems like we shouldn't encourage people to live in locations where being outside for 6 months of the year is hazardous
Not everyone can live in California wine country.
Most people live where it gets either dangerously hot or dangerously cold for large portions of the year.

I have a Masterbuilt that has optional firmware updates sometimes, nothing mandatory and certainly nothing automatic. It's a gravity fed charcoal grill that works like a computer controlled forced air rocket stove. Gets up to 700 degs from cold in 10 mins if I want or hold 225 for the rest of time as long as I keep feeding charcoal into the hopper and emptying the ash bin. The computer is adding actual value.
No soggy pellets, no weird feeding issues, the biggest problem I've had with it was the hatch sensors all going out over time, but once I jumped the circuit past them it worked fine again to this very day, going on six years now.
which minecraft mod is that?

Probably a security update to try and keep it from being part of a botnet maybe? What would work better though is never connecting it to a network or even better, just don't make it smart for no dam reason, lol.

Someone will knock it over at some point within five years turning it into a sad jigsaw puzzle.

Oh, so like Die Hard 4.

It's dangerously cold for maybe 10 days during the 3 months of winter where i live (temperaturs below 20F). Far from the 3 months of temperatures that never drop below 95 degrees in Texas. The Midwest, the Rockies, Pacific Northwest, and mid to north Atlantic of the US are all well within normal human habitation ranges.

Have tons of devices that can connect to the Internet. Apparently I'm the only one here resourceful enough to not connect them
I'd rather not reward manufacturers that include that just to raise the price and track and sell your data with my money.

While I agree that real charcoal is superior in every way, a good grill and the person running it needs to be able to control the temperature while cooking. It might be just fine to burn those hot dogs or hamburger patties, but if I want to roast a potato or an onion, I need to be able to control the heat to something less than the surface of the sun.
If you don't know how to control the temp on a cheap charcoal grill, that's fine, but don't pretend it can't be done.

I'm an IT nerd but they could not pay me to buy a grill that requires software updates. What a bunch of nonsense.
I'm an IT guy, if my printer made a noise I don't recognise I'd shoot it.
