Chris,
I just spent a little time looking at different guru's and found one that sounded interesting. The DigiQ DX2? I read all the reviews posted and most were very pro on the product but........most of the customers were using a Webber Smoker, Big Green Egg and a couple of others. What I didn't read was any reviews from anyone using a Lang, Cadillac, ABS etc. off set stick burner smoker.
Now the comments that caught my eyes were, for low and slow smoking like I like to do for 12 hrs. or so on butts and briquettes, several people are saying, start your fire, get the temperature where you want it to be, put your food in.......early evening "set it and forget it" go to bed and get up in the AM and your food is done.....perfect..o..by the way.
Other comments are that folks load in their charcoal.....didn't hear anything about wood, smoke away and had charcoal not used and left over.
Now, I will shut up and listen to you having had experience with this product as it relates to an off set stick burner !!
One final comment though.......if I can smoke low and slow for 12-14 hours, load the wood into my Lang, get the temperature up to 225-230 keep it there all night and go to bed and not have to get up three or four times to put wood in...............they better get out of the way CAUSE I'm going to buy one of those "Puppies"
