Digi Q II--praise and problem
Petunia
Posts: 110
We just did our second pork butt last night using the Digi Q II for the first time. Pork butt was the first thing we ever cooked on the egg [yes we dove right in before testing the water ] and it was a learning experience. :S It was so much easier with the Digi Q. No adjusting everything every hour or two. It was truly a great early Christmas present.
I do have a question for those of you who have also used one. When I removed the fan assembly from the mount, water came out of the mount. :( The temperature all night was probably right around 60 [we live in northern Illinois]. Is there something that keeps this condensation from getting in the fan assembly? The damper was half closed since it was a slow cook. What if the damper were all the way open? I would hate to have water get in there and ruin everything. Any help will be appreciated.

I have had the same experience for the year or so that I've been using one. So far, no bad results.

Give the people at BBQ Guru a call.Maybe they have an answer.They are pretty good with customer service.

I've noticed the same thing on some of my cooks. It hasn't been a problem so far. Keep your fan opening down and you should see less water in it. Here is a link to their site and your question may have been answered there already.

Mine always does that on low & slow cooks. I never open the lid for hours at a time. I guess the moisture has to go somewhere. I keep my fan turned up a just little. No problem here!

Thanks to everyone who responded to my question. I did email bbqguru and received a reply from Bob Trudnak. He said there is nothing to worry about. They have used the unit in the pouring down rain at cook-offs with no problems. Just be sure to shake out any water that may be in unit before storing.

I have never had any issues with moisture forming with the BBQ Guru.
I have also run the fan in pouring rain ( 2 inches per hour) and the fan still works but now takes about 5 minutes to "warm up". Also did not at the time put the computer part into a baggie and the food temp only will not work but works with both temps alternating without any problem.
