I'm planning on a temp control system for my birthday present (another year rolls by in May).
As seemed common on this board, I started with the comparison of Stoker and DigiQII and settled on the DigiQ since I wouldn't ever use the computer access of the Stoker and the Guru product seemed simpler and got good reviews here.
Well now, I have real questions about whether or not I even need the "bells and whistles" of the DigiQII.
I primarily want the system so I can have good sleep during overnighters or be able to comfortably leave the smoker for several hours to go golfing or something. I want to still be "in control" of my cooking for the most part. I don't think I would care for the ramp feature of the DigiQII...I plan on always being there towards the end of a cook. Also I have a good NuTemp remote thermometer with 3 transmitters for meat temps so I don't see why I need a meat probe with the temp control system.
With the significant price differential of the PitMinder and the DigiQII, I'm thinking the PitMinder is all I really need.
Is that a mistake? Any info is appreciated.
