Thanks for the update Mike. My DigiQ DX2 just arrived today. Hoping to try it out this weekend. The issue with these things getting too hot will be interesting here in AZ. I always keep my WSM in the shade of a patio umbrella while cooking. I'll make sure I keep this thing shaded too...

Yep... I reuse too. Mostly in my Performer or SJS. WSM usually always gets new (only because all old get used up for regular cooks) but sometimes have some used in the middle of minion pile on a few smokes. Nothing wrong with it IMO.

Mike, I'm curious to hear what you find out on this. I just ordered the DigiQ DX2. I hope these things aren't notorious for having problems. I chose it over the Stoker from Rock's BBQ because of it's compact size and price. Plan on using it on my 18.5 WSM and maybe fitting to my mini build...

Thanks Eric. i think I will definitely be trying this.

Did you use a full chimney?

Interesting idea there Eric. Look like a perfect cook to me. May have to give that a try. :)

Wow! that is looks good Chris! Looking forward to seeing that featured at Thanksgiving.

It was a great day. Here is pulled pork and ribs. Now it's time to kick back, pop the top off a few more cool ones and relax. Happy Smoke Day to all.

My First Smoke Day participation. So far so good. Can't wait to eat. Butt on the WSM And we're up to temp... Few hours later getting ready to put the ribs on A few moinks getting happy with the ribs Thumbs up !! Snack Time !

7 am in AZ. Smoker is fired up and butt about to go on. Will be putting some st louis ribs a little later. Happy Smoke Day !!

Got my Smoke Day t-shirt today. Got my 7 # pork butt today. Still looking for some ribs to also smoke. Thinking I may make up some ABT's or Moinks too. Can't wait. This will be my first Smoke Day participation. :wsm:

Made a 6# Brisket for Christmas dinner. My first ever Brisket. It didn't turn out too bad for my first attempt. Wife loved it. That's all that mattered. Also made Haselback potatoes and brussel sprouts. 8 hours in I was approaching my target temp of 170. Pulled the brisket and wrapped...

Those look good. I've watched a lot of the BBQ Pit Boyz. Haven't seen this one. I'll have to check it out. Thanks.

As always Mr Lampe, excellent looking cook.
