  • All eggs come with two controllers, one on top and a little sliding gate on the bottom. They work just fine. Even overnight.

    Most who have the controller sing then praise, you will enjoy it.
    you can also cook on a weber , you don't "need" an egg.

    So, why is the BGE brand cheaper than the guru? I thought it was the opposite.

    Also, looking now, it appears that the guru probe reviews are just as bad as the maverick probes? Unreal.

    Really contemplating just getting a ThermoWorks 8060 and not have remote monitoring.

    Quality is important to me and i believe TW will in the long run be far cheaper since they use industrial probes and a more accurate reading product.

    Why did you decide to go with the DigiQ over the Pitmaster? I see it is at least $270 on Amazon right now.

    @Ladeback69

    Here is the link that shows the BGE DigiQ is $250..it's the cheapest I have seen and it has 2 day shipping....heck the apply for a Amazon Credit Card and get $40 instantly. ..once shipped I paid the card off and cancelled it.

    http://www.amazon.com/Big-Green-Egg-Guru-DigiQ/dp/B00A3BQ6EU/ref=aag_m_pw_dp?ie=UTF8&m=A262TPPYXMWGNT 

    I got this because I don't have a Maverick and I want to keep things as organized as possible without a bunch of wires from 2 devices. The housing is aluminum, the fan and connection to the grill is metal not plastic like some with hose barbs, all around a good solid pit controller. Not WIFI or anything else but all I need is a set it and forget it..

    I was thinking of getting the Pitmaster IQ 120. It does the same thing, less wires and $50 cheeper, but now you have me rethinking about this. I would have to sell the wife on it.
