The new 640s looks great! My 640 is fairly new. Will there be a retrofit kit available at some time?

Herb,

If I'm running a Fireboard already with my 640 (purchased Feb 2019), is it going to be worth the $$ to upgrade the controller? Are the new features worth the effort to replace my current system? Just curious! Thanks for the insight!

How about an update? I know we will get an email (hopefully soon). How is progress coming on the new controller? Slow production? Waiting for delivery? Give us something, please.

I have a YS480. I still do not see much of an update here. Is this ACS controller really worth the $399 cost? I paid $1800 for this smoker and accessories less than two years ago. I did not get an e-mail about the upgrade. Is there a discount on the ACS controller upgrade for people that already own grills as an incentive to upgrade?
