I'm thinking of purchasing the digiq does it really handle the vents to keep the temp in check? I'm super interested in this thing but would like to hear some stories from the field

It really works well.
I have found after years of egging that I don;t have much need for it unless I am not planning on being anywhere near the egg.
DigiQ is great for low and slows. Often times I will light it up.. set the DigiQ and go to work for 10 hours. I would not do this without the Digiq

Get the wifi model. I have a digiq and have used it a couple of times with great results but would rather have the wifi model.

I have had the DigiQ for three years. Burnt one set of probes up, my fault!! I use it for certain cooks to allow me to turn my back and do whatever, while the unit keeps an eye on my temperatures. There are others that have wi-fi ?? I don't need that since i turbo cook and never cook overnight. It works for me.

I personally don't see the need for it. I just did a 15 hour cook a d the temp stayed at 250 the entire time. It did creep to 280 at the end, but not worth it in my opinion. When I first bought my egg I wanted a temp controller. The price kept me from buying one. This forced me to learn how to control the egg the old fashioned way.Mark Annville, PA

Sorta like learning to drive with a clutch before you get an auto trans

I too have been entertaining the idea of getting one...leaning toward the Wifi one. Curious as to what powers them, are the battery powered or plug in?If it ain't a CAT, it's a dog!!! 2 LBGE's & BGE Backyard Chef Edition Cart

Love mine Haven't had it long but did a boston butt on it and put it on overnight. woke up a couple times to check it but didn't need to. finally just went to bed for the rest of night and sure enough, temperature was just fine the next morning.
