Awesome father's day gift. I had an old apple airport sitting around doing nothing. I plugged it into the Stoker and hooked them up (really way simpler than the FAQ and discussions make it seem) and we were off. In virtually no time I was checking the status online. I used it only for a quick cook of some salmon, but kept messing with the settings just to see it work.
Really cool. I suspect the real cool factor will come when I am sleeping through an all night smoke!

Well I'm jealous.
I want one soooo bad. Just have to figure out how to slip the expense by the boss.. -
You are one lucky guy!
I have been wanting one, but haven't been able justify the funding for it, yet.
I also need to figure out how I'm going to power both it and the wireless bridge, given I don't have an electrical outlet near the eggs.BJ (Powhatan, VA) -
May I ask when you ordered it and how long it took to arrive? I ordered one on the 16th as a Father's Day and Birthday combo gift. I know it says that it will ship in two to three weeks, but one can hope right?
FYI, I purchased one of these for my net connection:

When using the stoker to light the egg, what are the setting for the DFMT? Is the top supposed to be open or closed during lighting and cooking? I have never used mine. Dont seem to need it cause the egg is so easy to dial in temps but another gadget is always fun.

Call them! I've called twice and have been very happy with their over-the-phone service. And, talking to them, you can get a good idea of when they will be able to ship.

I usually don't install until after the egg is lit and below target temperature.
The DTMF settings are slider closed and the pedals open about the width of a round toothpick. The same setting I use when not using the Stoker or DigiQ.

Thanks Mr. Grub

I stuck the airport and the stoker in a plasitc box with a long extension cord so it is one kit that i pull out for use. i'd imagine you could do that with a really long extension cord too.

i think it was just under 2 weeks. not 100% sure as I was only slightly involved. the kids and wife did the actual ordering. delivery time should not be THAT much longer to Kennesaw than metro Atlanta.

I received my Stoker package yesterday. The end result was about 10 days from clicking submit until it arrived at my door (using the most basic shipping option).
