BBQ Guru Case

What do you guys store your BBQ Guru gadgets in?  I have the Cyber Q and have kept it in the original box which is starting to wear out.  I've seen the $24 "pistol" case with the BBQ Guru badging on it from their online store--but I know there's folks out there that can do better for less...

    I still use the original box, might eventually move to a small pelican case :)

    I have a designated drawer in my kitchen that houses all of my EGGsessories including my CyberQ.

    I have an inexpensive plastic box that I use for my Buba Guru.  It serves as both a storage container and to protect the unit in case of rain.  The PVC fitting comes off the end and goes inside the box.  Also, have a second one for my Flame Boss.  Thank @NPHuskerFL for the original idea.

    I thought I could find a pistol case on Amazon or something for way cheaper... There are a few smaller ones that are about $9-10 but I don't think everything will fit in there.

    I have the 'Official' BBq Guru carry case, it works, kinda cheapish. If I had to do it all over again, I'd scour eBay for an aluminum case. I can give you length and depth dimensions if you want. Tim

    When I bought my Guru it just came in a throwaway cardboard box. I bought a pistol case and the only thing it doesn't hold is that fat power block. I'll post a picture of it but in the meantime it's a DoskoSport brand with hard exterior and foam inside. The approx dimensions are: 13.5 X 10 X 3.

    Darn picture wouldn't stick.  The one I like is the Sterilite 1805 flip top box.  Less than $5 at my non-local Shopko store.  The flip top keeps any rain from leaking into the box.  It easily holds all the accessories when the cook is over.

    Why aluminum over plastic?  Sturdiness?

    I almost thought that this would be overkill... I mean a pelican case for a grill accessory???..  But then I realized that I bought a pelican case for a pistol many years ago--which ended was LESS expensive than the CyberQ and frankly less likely to be in a non-temperature controlled environment.  You definitely have planted a bug in my ear...  Continuing the search to a legitimate, weatherproof case, like Pelican...

    I paid $525 Canadian for my BBQ guru which is huge and one drop and the controller is gone. That's an expensive mistake in my opinion and one I am willing to protect. Pelican cases go on sale often and for example here is one...

    @RRP - Like your case--just want to find one a little cheaper than BBQ Guru's $24 case.
