How many use a controller for other than low and slow?

Love using the stoker easy and accurate

I am about 6 months into Egging and am enjoying getting proficient at just using the vents and dome temp's...Now in saying that I am sure I will get a controller esp. when I start with the big packers and over nighters..

Low and slow is the only time I use a controller.

+1 for what @DMW said...

Just bought the BBQ Guru (New model). I tried it a couple of times and it worked well but unless I have a long slow and low cook I'm going to do things manually.

Only use my DigiQ except for low and slow.

I just got mine and was wanting to try it out. I set it to 400 grid temp and cooked burgers. It worked like a charm. I didn't have to worry about a spike when I walked away for a few minutes.

Higher temp cooks - greater than 320 or so are easy to maintain without a controller. Because of the shorter time frame, small excursions don't have a negative effect. Higher temps are harder on the temp probe wires too. Once you learn to control your temps, setting a certain vent opening will give you very close to the desired temp every time. The controller isn't necessary for high temp, short time cooks.

I use it if I am not hanging around. It keeps the temp right where you want it

I use my mine for low and slow only.

Low and slow only here.

+1 That's the only time I use it.

I don't have a controller, other than myself keeping an eye on things until the egg settles in +-10 degrees.
I've had my eye on a Flame Boss though. Looks like a good controller.

Stoker on L&S. Manually for everything else.

mcmac · July 2014

Just ordered a stoker, but I can't see where I would use it for anything other than low & slow. I hope the ability to monitor it remotely works as advertised. Should have it by the 3rd.

I use my cyberQ wifi when I do whole chickens. Mostly for the meat temps but I use it to maintain the pit temp too. It's peace of mind in my book....

I have found it difficult to set and maintain temps below 300. I have two different LG and both cook a little different but if I close openings any further than I do, it snuffs out the fire. I have checked both for cracks and found none.

YukonRon · July 2021

I have tried a couple of controllers. Both had decent control, but I have been able to control 225ish°F with the vents.

Below that, it is a crap shoot at best with mine.

Maybe check your gasket seal? I changed mine recently, then the bands, it made a significant difference.

Only use a controller for low and slow.
