Party Q battery operated controller??
Just wondering if any of you have this little battery powered party Q device, and what kind of luck you have had with it?
Thanks,
Tex

I have the Q and love it. I have a large and small adapter and the small works on my small and my mini. Word of caution. If the low battery indicator comes on it really does mean it is low. Duh!When in doubt add more pepper.

I had the same logic you had and it's been perfect. I've done numerous overnights or throughout the day while at work with no problems. Just finished two Butts this weekend with the Party Q. The key is getting the temp stabilized with the top vent in the normal position to hold a low temp.

Texbagger, I have had a Party Q for almost a year and I love it. I have used it for over 20 hours on fresh batteries. Any of the Guru product pretty much make the BGE a set it and forget it cooker.Thomas Bubba's BBQ and Harris Family Catering Pigs on the Run Competition BBQ Team Medic-Que BBQ Team, LBGE, Party Q

Thanks for the comments and feedback. I'm hoping it gets here quick so I can start using this little party Q! Sounds like a useful investment.

I absolutely loved it when I did my review. Still do, for that matter, :-)

Holy Smokes! Checked the snail mail box here and the little Party Q arrived! It will get a good workout this weekend and I'm dying to try it. Put in the batteries, and have the adaptor on the egg already. Time to shop for some meat and get this going! Thanks to all, and to the Naked Whiz, love your website! I have spent hours on it reading to my hearts content! I appreciate your comments and thanks for testing and all that you do.
More to come later.

I think Naked Whiz covered this in his write up .. but do bring your egg up close to temp before putting the party Q on .. will help on battery life. that said - I like it a lot.

Had a Digi Q and sold it as I (me) just could not work it. Ordered a Party Q...........
Have it and used it once (not good / I am sure it was me). It's in a box somewhere. Seems EVERYONE but ME can use the thing. Yep, it's me.....

Good to know. I was wondering last week if there was a controller for a small or mini. Can't remember anybody ever saying anything about one.Rowlett, Texas

Well, I love this thing. Cooked 2 racks of St Louis style ribs Sunday morning, and they came out perfect. The Party Q kept my XL at a perfect 250 for hours on one of the windiest days of the year here in South Texas. It must have been gusting up to 35 mph! Them ribs are the best Ive ever cooked and a lot of it has to do the the steady temps I experienced. The Party Q is amazing. I cooked 2 spatchcock chickens later that evening and same results, steady as a rock temps on the XL BGE! Anybody considering this little controller, just do it! Wish I had bought it sooner.
And no I don't work for them Guru guys either! I just love being able to control the temps like it does for me. Frees me up for other important things like football and beer!!!!!!

Just got mine and used it this past weekend. It worked like a charm. I cooked an overnight brisket. For the first two and a half hours I held the temp at 200 before bumping up to 240 and then to 265. The brisket was awesome and the Party Q worked flawlessly. the brisket cooked about 13.5 hours.
NOTE: figured out the key is to make sure your daisy wheel is dialed down very low...it was nearly closed holding at 200 and 240. Once I opened the wheel up it had a tendency to overshoot.
All in all I was very impressed!

I used it on a large BGE

The Cen-Tex Smoker I thought about it this morning and pulled it for you. Give me a call and you can pick it up. I only have the Large adpter as I forgot and I gave the small with the DigiQ I sold last summer before buying the PartyQ. Get it and try it to see if you like it.Salado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now).
