Using Guru only for Thermometer

Dan in StL

I've got a CyberQ II and was wondering if there is any problem with using it just to monitor food temp. There are times when I don't really need the fan and the pit temp control, but I would like to have ongoing food temp monitoring. Basically, if I don't need the fan I'm just wanting to be lazy and not drag it out and put it away again.

The only reason I'm asking is that I thought I remembered reading in their documentation that the CyberQ "learns" over time how much fan to use boost the temp, thereby making it more efficient at managing temps.

Any thoughts?

my thought would be is to call them and ask their opinion.

Dan, I say go for it. I have a CyberQ II and I have used it to control the pit with the food probe plugged up on the outside while smoking spare ribs. I don't see why you couldn't do the opposite.

may I ask a question? why use a $250 piece of gear to do the same work that a $15 "Polder" will do and not risk damaging the Guru? It's like saying use you can use a laptop for a doorstop, but why?
