I have had the BBQ075.04 Big Tex since 2015 and smoked a lot of meat on it. The only issues I have ever had are temp control variation and a few fire outs. Temp swings are often greater than plus minus 20 degrees. This has led me to read some articles on replacement controllers. My unit has the BAC283 digital controller. My question is whether newer controllers like the BAC365 have a better algorithm for temp control. I do not need the extra thermometers for the meat as I have a unit with 4 wifi thermometers that works great. I can see any discussion or articles on the actual difference between the BAC283 and BAC365. Maybe the control circuitry and control algorithms are the same of very similar. Doesn't sound like people get a lot of answers from Traeger, so suggestions are welcome. (picture of my unit is from 2015)
