Turbograte arrived! Question about it...
Options

Posts: 181
HA!...something new to try this week. I was going to do a low-and-slow on some pork butt to test out the turbulator grate.
Question for those with this grate: Did you still have to sweat over whether or not your fire went out during the night when using these grates?
I had problems on my first overnighter because the grate was bevel-side up and the small chunks of lump clogged the grate to the point that the dome temp hit 200 deg. The next overnight cook, I went with the wiggle rod and the inverted grate (bevel-side down) with much better results. Just wondering how much easier/reliable the turbograte makes these types of cooks.
In other words, I'm trying to save my dollars for a Small BGE instead of a DigiQ II, although I will likely have both before too long here.
Thanks for the help!

No problems. Just load it with lump and go. I did a 16.5 hr Butt two weeks ago no problems

Thanks, Ross. I see you also have the DigiQ II. Would you attribute the steady cook to that? Or the turbograte? I'll let you know how things turn out.

Mike,
I've had the Turbo grate longer than the DigiQII I think they both contribute to an uneventful
long low and slow cook.
My Best,
Ross
