    Charcoal Smoker Controller

    Thanks for the response. It does seem like it’s got much better reviews than the Guru DynaQ (their Wifi controller). Both are pretty pricey though. I guess if I spring for a Wifi controller I’ll go with the Signals, and if not I’ll get the DigiQ. If I knew the Signals would last 10 years I’d...

    Charcoal Smoker Controller

    Does your DigiQ have WiFi? I guess if it works properly I really won’t NEED WiFi... just thought it would be nice to have for peace of mind and convenience.

    Charcoal Smoker Controller

    Does it control the temp of the smoker with a fan? That’s what I’m really after.

    Charcoal Smoker Controller

    Yeah I’ve looked at them. I think the Dynaq has WiFi connectivity but seems like not very good reviews? Also seems like the Dynaq and fan would be close to $300 as well?

    Charcoal Smoker Controller

    Hi everybody. Looking into getting a 18" WSM and controller. I've only ever used a cheap Smokey Hollow electric upright. The thing doesn't have a thermostat (just a low to high knob), and sometimes it won't get hot enough, but I've got to give the thing credit for some great food and getting...

    Signals vs. Smoke?

    Anyone else using Signals? I'm looking at getting a WSM and not sure what type of controller/fan setup to get. Have only ever used an electric smoker, but excited about the ability to have temp control for overnight smokes and great charcoal smokey flavor. Hesitant to get the...

    I do like my current grill setup (one gas, one charcoal all-in-one). If I was primarily considering the 560 for longer smokes to set it and forget it (Smoking overnight or while at work), would you recommend WSM or 560?

    So I love the idea of charcoal smokey flavor and a set it and forget it setup. I was thinking maybe a 18” WSM + temp control fan setup (Thermoworks Bellow and Signal?) would be better and cheaper, but it looks like that could cost $600?! Is there any reason I should opt for that other than...

    Smoking on a non-kettle charcoal grill?

    I took a screenshot of the manual showing the side vent on the charcoal grill. It’s not the greatest but hopefully it gives an idea as to whether or not the guru would be compatible?

    Smoking on a non-kettle charcoal grill?

    I feel the same way, looking for an option to set it and forget it. The pellet grills are big in my area but I find the flavor lacking compared to charcoal or even electric smoker with wood chips. I may pull the trigger on the 560 some day, but for me the verdict is still out on...

    Smoking on a non-kettle charcoal grill?

    I got an analog electric Smoke Hollow smoker for Christmas a few years back and have really enjoyed using it (except for its inability to reach smoking temperatures at times). I also have a Char Broil half LP, half charcoal grill like this...

    Has anyone replaced their gas grill with one and now uses this as their primary way to quickly grill burgers?

    Masterbuilt Gravity Feed

    So there have been a couple of you weigh in but now that there’s more activity I’d like to ask everyone - how many of you regularly grill hamburgers on this? I do think using a cast iron griddle sounds like good way to avoid grease fires from burgers. Also - anyone ever use something to...

    Masterbuilt Gravity Feed

    I was hoping to use it to replace my smoker and charcoal/gas grill combo. I was originally worried about how much charcoal it would use for quickly cooking some burgers, but hadn’t thought about all the grease going to the heat manifold... Would cooking the burgers on one of the upper racks...

    Hi guys, first time poster. New to the forum, but really like what I've seen so far, seems like a good group. Love the idea of this grill, and sounds like you guys are all happy with it, too. Currently have a (beginner econo model) Smoke Hollow upright electric smoker I use for pork...
