The way the holes are shaped and placed helps with cleaner burned pellets and less ash build up in bottom of pot. PID controller is worth every penny!!!!! The burn pot is of better quality as well. It also uses way less pellets and can reach 500 degrees. The smell of the pellets burning/smoking is so much better.
Gets to temp super-fast and holds within +/- 5 degrees. This grill is way better than it has ever been. First fire up and WOW! This is truely a PID controller not a timed despenser. The install was very striaght forward for the pid controller. Called and talked with a gentleman and he seems very genuine, so I Bought the PID controller and a spare burner pot. The prob did help it get better temps, but the swing was 50+ degrees. It was suggested to replace the temp prob. It has been a great grill, I have only replaced the burner pot about 2 year ago. I was having temp issues with my 7 year old Traeger pro22.
