DIGI Q II -- What do I need for a Large Egg?

kbone

Looking to make the investment in the DIGI BBQ II for my large egg. Was on the bbqguru website and want to make sure I order the right thing -- Can someone help this rookie egger out?

i am with morro bay rich.... the people at bbqguru are great people and stand behind their product... i have the bbq competetor with a 4 cfm fan... i have a large egg... i got mine about 6 months before the came out with the digiQ... so i really can't be much help..... although there are several people who go with the 10 cfm fan... proabably most but the 4 has always worked for me

You only have two choices what color and what size fan. I like most went with the 10 cfm.Of course you have to tell them what size egg you have to get the correct adapter.

I agree. An adapter, fan size. I have a 10cfm. I'm sure a 4 will work fine also. And color. Thats all you need to get started. I have a probe tree. I hardly use it.

Before getting my DigiQ2 I called and talked with Fred. I was advised to get the 10cfm fan for my large or medium.

The nice thing with the Guru is that the air flow is adjustable. The air flow can be closed down. Therefore the airflow is from 0 cmf to 10 cfm. I often will run my 10 cfm fan at 1/3 open about 3 or 4 cfm.

I have the DigiQ with a 4 CFM fan for my large.

Works great. I have never ran the fan wide open,
usually have it a 1/4 open for 225 - 230

SpacemanSpiff,

Either would be a good choice and I am sure hte 4cmf works great as I do close my 10 cfm down to 3 or 4 cfm.

Folks around the forum seem to end up with multiple eggs. If one were to get an XL it might be nice to have a fan that could push something above 4 cfm.

I do open my fan up all the way when I want to get the fire going hotter quicker for whatever reason.

Nevertheless, I did call the Guru folks and talked with the owner. Fred advised me to get the 10 cmf fan for my large. He said one can always cut the flow down, but can never go higher than the full output of the fan.

That sounded like good advice and I thought it wise to follow the advice of the owner of the company I was buying from. If I recall there was no price difference, so why not have the capibility availible.

Sound advice is to call and ask for one's self.

Save yourself shipping down the line. I purchased mine at a convention, and it shipped with the following:

DigiQ II
Pit Viper 10CFM fan
stainless steel bracket/stand
duffle bag
drawstring bag for the "Q"
curl eze wire holder management thingys
long pit probe
long meat probe (sorry, I had to laugh out loud when I wrote this...)
rubber stop plug
SBGE adaptor door
LBGE adaptor door
XLBGE adaptor door
--I only own two out of the three cookers mentioned TODAY, but hope to have the XL at the end of the day for the TX Eggfest.

Don't delay getting one if you're planning lots of low-and-slows. It's really great to have around on those types of cooks.

Sounds like a great deal.

I just got my new DigiQ last week. Cooked 8 slabs of ribs on my large this weekend. That thing worked great! It kept my temps right on. I also purchased the turbo grate, seems to work but I can't tell any difference.

PS: Get the 10cfm for the large, med, or xl

I got my DigiQ II last week and smoked two pork butts on Saturday. (14 hrs) Using the DigiQ freed me up to do other things like working in the yard, take the wife out to lunch and shopping. She was happy so everyone was happy. It worked flawlessly. Temp was dead on the whole time. I check the calibration Friday night before the cook. It was dead on from the factory. Didn't need to calibrate. It is very easy to do if you need to do it at a later time. If it rains out side just put a Zip Lock bag over the controller and your fine. I got the 10 cfm fan just in case I want to use it on a larger smoker later. You can't go wrong with this unit!

I have had mine about 4 months now, must say it is as good as advertised. The probes are heavy braided cords unlike any others I have seen for meat probes. You might see about getting an extra set, they seem like they would last a while but would hate not to be able to do a cook down the road because my probes went bad.
