I have a large Egg and would like to get one of these devices but I'm not exactly sure of what all I need.  The website is a little confusing.  Seems like you have to order all the parts individually?  I have seen pictures on here where the digital display has the BGE logo on it.  Where would you get one of those?  Any advice is appreciated.  Thanks!

    Just give them a call (800-288-GURU (4878)). They have great customer support and will set you up with exactly what you need.

    The DX2 version, with the BGE logo, can be purchased from your BGE dealer. The only difference is the logo. It contains the 10 cfm blower, which works for medium thru XL eggs.

    Honestly they're pretty pricey and the egg is very good at maintaining solid temps. I bought an IQUE 110 temp controller. $150 shipped with the egg adapter, works like it's supposed to. Set the temp once you have the egg going, and it does the rest. Look into them, I'm very happy with mine. www.pitmasterique.com

    I bought the dx2 from my local dealer, talked them down to $279, it came with the pit viper (10cfm) and the ceramic adapter as it was packaged for the egg. I told them $279 was the online price, and they matched it without hassle.

    Also have the DX2.  What a gem.  I have no regrets paying  that kind of money for how well the thing works.  I can understand why some may call it cheating.   lol

    War Eagle,  I have reviews on my website of all the major controllers except for the PartyQ, the Wireless Stoker and the Wireless Cyber Q from BBQ Guru.  They may help you decide.  Here's a link to my product review page: Product Reviews


    Good luck!
