Anyone have this temp controller? Never thought I'd be interested in one but it seems to do what the BBQ Guru does for about 1/2 cost.

    I have one. It's alright. Doesn't like the cold very much here in MN. It will read error if too cold outside. Works just fine if I wrap it in a towel when cold. Wires can be a little fragile but most are. I've had mine around 4 years now with no major issues. It's about as basic as it gets. Nothing fancy but wasn't looking for anything super nice. Found it for $99 and well worth it for overnight cooks and long smokes. It's a cheap babysitter for the price

    I liked mine ok for years but was a bit frustrated with it. It would overshoot the target temp and the fan would keep blowing, then it would drop below then overshoot. Like a yo-yo. It would eventually stabilize sometime overnight and would always be at 250 in the morning when I woke up, but it was still frustrating. Much prefer my Flame Boss, but it costs more. You do get more bells and whistles, but not as much as the really high dollar ones.

    I have the auber that cost about $150.  I have been very pleased with it on lo and slo, and even used on Thanksgiving turkey to free up time while doing other cooking tasks.  I have not had problems others have mentioned

    I have it and like it, also I have dealt with their service rep, great customer service.

    I usually get my egg at the temp I want and then turn it on with no issues.

    I have one and it works fine. You have to keep the dome shut or it might overshoot at times. The P/S got itermittent. Found replacements on Amazon for 18 cents. Bought extra probes for 5 bucksish each. But I've gone turbo now and don't use it as much.

    I have one and I love it for low and slow cooks that go overnight. I set it and forget it.
