    DigiQ DX2 question..

    Oh yes I'd purchase it all over again. That thing makes a world of difference. Its my preference to get it up to temp without it then just use it to maintain the temp.

    DigiQ DX2 question..

    Good luck with that. I've found its still better for me to bring my smoker up to temp without the guru then once I get it up to temp I plug the fan in to maintain the temp. The reason I do this is because the guru kept getting the pit too hot and I'd have to shut it down to get it back down...

    At 190° start poking it until a probe goes through it with no resistance. It will happen be patient.

    b-one is that the gasket kit I see? Just ordered that today and way wondering how it worked? I was having trouble maintaining temps with all bottom vents closed d the temp still climbed to over 250 verified by my 733. Wondering how you like it if that is the gasket kit?

    1st Brisket Help?!?!

    It would be tough. The reason you're cooking to such a high temp is to break connective tissues down. That's why there is no magical temperature to cook the brisket too. You should cook to 185-190° and start probing the meat as it raises every half hour to hour until your probe slides in like a...

    Regulating temp

    Your whole technique seems off. You don't want to "trap" smoke in you want it to flow over the meat. High temps could be too much gas did you have it turned down to low? If it was still to hot you can turn the knob past high and in between high and off to produce an even smaller flame. Go slowly...

    Mav 733

    I believe you're referring to after you have it set up? If so yes at the top it flashes between the two probes I can see individually like you said split down at the bottom. What I was referring to was when setting it up you didn't have to be quick about selecting meat/barbecue as pressing mode...

    Mav 733

    I think I'm confused. Are you talking about it automatically switching on the transmitter? I was talking about setting the receiver.
