Hello all you 'Mokers, Got my new DigiQ the other day. Took it and the smoker to Gainesville, gonna do an all night smoke for everyone. Set it up, got the DigiQ running with no problem. Working with the blower damper. Got everything running nicely in just 30 minutes or so. Pretty amazing how easy it was to hold 225. Came up to Gainesville to see 7 and 5 yr old grandbabies in ballet recital. So, took off for that around 1730, never gave the weather a thought....It was blue skies and sunny when I left. During the recital huge thunderstorms roll in from the west, wind, it was bad. I new it was toast, but I was hoping. Got home and it was all messed up. So, I'll call them Monday and send it back for repair or replacement. Dried it for few hrs with hair dryer but the food button won't work now. No sweat. I was totally pissed last night, but I'm cool now. Wont make that mistake again. The Maverick was fine and suffered no ill. Finished the butt and brisket in the oven, over night and they were fine. Came out good, considering there was water right up to the coals in the bottom of the WSM 18. So, live and learn. Never ever thought it would rain... Kevin PS Sure was cool how it worked though. Real nice set up. Can't wait for the next smoke! kev
