Partyq or digiq?

since my life seems to be getting busier it’s harder to setup for 6+ hour smokes on the wsm so I’m wondering which controller I should go with.

I have both of the above. My favorite by far is the digiq.

I have the DigiQ. I pretty much only use it only on overnight smokes. I'll set my vents for 225-235F, let it stabilize, then turn on the DigiQ at 220F and the slide about 1/4-1/3 open. It catches any temp drops and doesn't over-stoke the fire. I sleep and don't worry at all.

The in the morning I open all the vents and crank up the DigiQ for a hot n fast finish.

It kind of reminds me of a long road trip where someone else is driving and I'm sleeping. I wake up and we're almost there!
