Big Red Egg (pic)

A digi q is a great solution as long as you do not want wireless.
I wanted the ability to control the Stoker via wifi.

The bge branded controller is a bbq guru digi q 2 device so I am sure both the bge and bbq guru brands work great.

Stoker is my choice....I have had mine a few years and I love I it. Sleeping all night and having to worry about the pit temp was my reason for buying the Stoker but being able to monitor the meat temps and the ability to change the pit temp remotely with my phone or iPad is a big plus for me...if you have a need for controlling more than one Egg, no problem with the Stoker

It may not necessarily be a ceramic cooker at all (although for the price it should be).  The Base Exchange on Hill AFB sells an Egg-looking cooker, around $300, that's actually a steel shell with some kind of insulation in between the walls.  Haven't talked to anyone who owns/uses one.

Why not cut the Gordian Knot.  @Thailandjoh can you call your buddy and ask him what it is

That looks identical to my Son's KJ

@Botch‌ - you could be talking about a Big Steel Keg or Akorn. More likely the Akorn, if it grey and has a side table/cart sort of setup. But those aren't red AFAIK.

The nest sure looks like KJ's to me..

They are Komodo Joes....I was very impressed with quality and price.....included are several extras....my next ceramic cooker will be the Komado Joe 24" model to go with my current XL Egg I really liked the hinge on the 24" model Komado Joe will be doing roadshow sales all around the country at Costco's

A Joe Costco has had Joes on a travelling show like they have done Traegers in the past. The visions they carry are black & that is not a vision nest
