Upgraded from a not quite year old Pro 575 to a Timberline 1300 this week. We’re experiencing 10-20F weather at the moment and it hasn’t stopped me from using the new grill....but I’m not sure everything is OK
The grill seems to ignite pretty quick, without issue. Temps start climbing inside 5 minutes, but it is taking _forever_ to get to temp. 400F took almost an hour this evening. I don’t think my 575 ever took more than 20 minutes to hit 400, even in high winds.
Secondly, possibly related, is that I get the “Grill preheated” notification before the grill hits 100F - not when the grill actually arrives at the target temp.
The timberline is beautiful, all the extra space is really great, and this grill rebounds SO fast compared to the 575 but the extremely long preheat time is worrying me. We used the 575 all the time, from quick cooks to long and slow weekend feasts and I’m concerned that the overhead of firing this up is going to make it hard to justify firing it up as often as we want which completely defeats the purpose of buying the top of the line grill, IMO
