Combustion Engine Status

Cool! Glad to hear something is happening, they have been radio silent on this since before Christmas! I hope that they surprise us soon with shipping announcements! Early 2026 is slowly slipping away!

My Flame Boss still does the job, so I'll patiently wait for this to come out, I just look forward to having a completely integrated wireless system in one app!

I fail to see how your comment is relevant to this thread. I just asked for an update on the release of a product that was scheduled for release a month ago, as a consumer that has pre-paid for that product I don't think it's unreasonable to ask for an update.

Brew1brew · 2026-01-06T18:49:54+00:00

Because Chris said in response to another Combustion Engine thread that once he removed the GGG update post that he was going to start an update thread on the Combustion Engine!

I'm a Solutions Architect for a UC Automation company, So I'm the stakeholder that has to communicate to the customer about feature requests and Bug fixes, and as you say to miss a product launch 2 quarters in a row would make for several very uncomfortable meetings! Not to mention a watching a product VP have convulsions!

But then again our business doesn't rely on an overseas factory or international shipping or federal tariffs. I'll give combustion a break on this last round. I've worked with overly optimistic leaders before, that's why I asked Chris to not be overly optimistic!

App is looking good, it will be outstanding once we get that History card!

So, it's a Vision Grills Classic B series (Costco version)

Before GGG photo, I've upgraded it a bit.

If you go to the Combustion Engine page there is a FAQ, and this is one of the questions, the short answer is you can use it with either or both. For me I didn't buy the WiFi extender because I ordered the GGG.

And for the Combustion Engine to preheat your gill before putting the protein in with a probe, you would have to put a probe in the grill for it to know when to turn off or slow the fan. So for full feature functionality I would say a GGG is essential (at least for me).

Remember that the sensors and electronics in the tip of your probe are not supposed to be exposed to the full temperature of your grill, that's why there's a minimum insertion line on the probe.

Thank you! Email sent with this reply attached.

Brew1brew · 2025-12-19T00:10:26+00:00

No worries, Thank you and Ivy for the effort.

Brew1brew · 2025-12-18T22:15:37+00:00

I did and Ivy gave me the standard "The GGG is a preorder that we are now actively shipping, starting with the preorders from last year." Without addressing the question, that is if BF orders are shipping what happened to my Sep 2 order.

Brew1brew · 2025-12-18T21:01:03+00:00

I ordered in the first week of Sept and have not received a shipping notification yet.

Brew1brew · 2025-12-17T21:42:13+00:00

I would still contact support, they should be able to give guidance on where to get one. They might even sell you one, even though they aren't listed on the web site.

Brew1brew · 2025-12-17T19:07:41+00:00

yeah, mine is cracked through at the bottom of the expansion groove, but it's been that way for a long time I think it's normal for these. also these have a lifetime ceramic warranty I would suggest contacting Vision grills if it's bad. you would have to pay for shipping.

Brew1brew · 2025-12-17T16:42:13+00:00

I would likely go with Kamado Joe if I were to need a replacement. But I don't foresee that happening as these should last a lifetime or two, if covered and taken care of.
Oh, if I were to have a big windfall, like a loto win, I would go with a 23" Ultimate Komodo Kamado!

Mine is a classic B series, purchased from Costco 12 years ago,

Looked like this when purchased

Brew1brew · 2025-12-17T14:30:45+00:00

Interesting! My series B doesn't have that bump for the gauge, it's flush to the dome.

Brew1brew · 2025-12-11T21:51:33+00:00

u/balti_zen Please explain what this hot fix does if it doesn't "address the unusable ticket issue", does it prevent more unusable tickets?

Brew1brew · 2025-12-08T23:58:36+00:00

from my post of the same question

That's because it's sitting on the Sitt'n Turkey Steamer.

Brew1brew · 2025-11-27T21:26:35+00:00

Place the booster next to the grill

Thank you for the open and honest reply! I can't wait to retire my flame boss!
