p.s. If I'm remembering the FW 7 firmware update, I think this was simply to adjust what temps the user/each setting "thinks" are being aimed for, vs. changing the heating profile/capacity, e

That is correct, original FW7 launched with the same settings, but each one was tuned 30°? lower in the final production, in total calibration, numbers remained the same

My unit (beta) is clearly underpowered, I'm at 440°F for a roast that can't go to combustion. Less powerfull than my Fw7. A come back to Marc is planned.

Should we be combusting at 440F with the device? If that’s the case I guess mine is underpowered as well. It’s a heavy/dark roast but so far no combustion at 440. Though lately I’ve been sticking to 380.

How old is your battery? I'm noticing a difference in power for sure in one of my older batteries. Thinking of tossing an old P28A's and picking up a couple P30B's... Unless someone can recommend a better batt?

They are almost new.
I knew all along that my version was underpowered because it was shipped just before Marc made the modification for the others. So I think the problem should be solved now.

A priori, we are at the combustion limit at these temperatures so the avb should be heavy/dark roasted.

This is interesting! It certainly could explain the difference in reported experiences here. I was not in the early adopter list and bought my FWX from the drop on February 25th. I wonder if those who have a weaker heater are from before that?

The glass in mine keeps slipping out as well. I have to reset it each time I close the lid.

Also, I'm a lefty and have been using my thumb on the button, and am constantly burning the shit out of my pinky on the side glass, esp if it has slipped out a bit.

Mine hasn’t broken but it’s never felt solid. I’ve been concerned with it breaking and don’t really see the purpose of it. I would love to see it replaced with a piece of ceramic instead. If I could get a piece of the material of whatever the chamber/bowl is made of, that would be a neat experience. I’m curious what it would mean for the oven. Also curious about what the glass is doing. Is it ceramic? Should it be shattering this easily? Is it porcelain?

Idk. Just thinking out loud. Sorry. Rambling, mostly.


Also (hence why I quoted it) I, too am left handed and have had a similar issue with burning myself on the dang thing. I’m not sure ceramic would help the situation, on second thought.
