Suggestions/Tips for Smoking or Grilling Octopus

We buy fantastic salmon and halibut from an Alaskan family that comes to our town twice a year. Last time they were here I got a couple half-pound packages of whole octopus. I've had plenty of grilled octopus at restaurants, but I'd like to try smoking some. Any suggestions or tips? Or should I stick to grilling it?

14.5 lb Snake River Farms Gold Wagyu. 275F for 12.5 hours. Pulled at 5:30 AM at 205F internal temp in the point. Wrapped it in butcher paper and a bath towel, then put it in a cooler for 6 hours. Still warm when we sliced into it for lunch at noon. Served with macaroni-and-cheese and watermelon. Delicious. Juicy and very, very tender.

Every cook, the FireBoard app will randomly hork up this error message on my phone: "No Internet connection found. Please check your Internet connection."

There's nothing wrong with my connection. Annoying, to say the least. I ignore the message and it quickly disappears. Anyone else experiencing this?

I want to set a pit-temp alarm to alert me if the pit temperature exceeds a particular set point. I don't believe that the app will automatically send such an alert.

I know that you can set an alarm (in-app, SMS, e-mail) for each of the two removable probes, but can you also set an alarm for the pit temperature? If so, how?

I suppose that one could just lay one of the two probes across the grate to make it function as a pit-temperature probe, then set an alarm for it.

I removed the top grates from my YS640S the other day without paying attention to how they were configured. First try at putting them back in resulted in the lid hitting the foremost grate and not closing completely. I finally ended up with the configuration pictured here. Does that look correct?

Also, what's the function of the three protruding bits of metal at the front of the foremost grate? (One is highlighted; the other two are out of frame on either side.) At first I thought that they locked the two grates together but that doesn't seem to be the case; they're too thick to slide into the other grate.
