Sounds good to me! Excellent thinking, Bob! Thanks for sharing!. Tom

Kevin--Should that be taken as a recommendation? Tom

Mine works fine on four or five small bags, but anything large it lays down and rolls over after about two bags. I don't know the relationship between Tilia and Jardene, but I'm wondering if Jardene(sp?) didn't buy Tilia and let the product and customer service go to down the drain. When I...

I just Googled "problem with FoodSaver" and it appears that we are two amongst MANY. One person said that he/she had "owned about six FS from cheapest to most expensive and NONE worked very long", that "the company has done a great job of hoodwinking the public". I've seen posts and ads for...

I have a FoodSaver model V2480 that I got soon after that model was introduced--maybe 2-1/2 years ago. Been noticing that the pump seems to get weaker the longer you seal. Last night sealed two gallon sized bags of meat fine, slow on the third one, and just would not seal the fourth one no...

The main reason I got the DigiQ II was because we like to boat and wanted to be able to set the WSM up and forget it until we get back 2-3 hours later. So-- I suppose I'll order the eyelets AND seal the bottom vents from the inside. I've read and performed (to the degree that I thought the...

Ed--I don't have it in ramp mode, and whenever I open the top vent back up, the smoker temp. goes 8-10 degrees above what I have the pit temp. set at. I had closed the top vent to about half or maybe a little more and that seemed to help, so will try the eighth or so open. I'm still not so...

I had just found them. Was probably so excited about ordering the DigiQ II that I overlooked them. I'll get them coming. Thanks, again.

I looked for those eyelets on the BBQ Guru website when I ordered my DigiQ, but didn't see them. I'll look again and then call them if I have to. Will also take your advice and cover the bottom vents like you did if the eyelets don't help to cure the problem. Thanks for the help. T.

That is probably it as I'm using my ET-73 with two food probes and the leads are running under the lid. Right now I've got the top vent about 1/2 open, which goes against the grain for me, but the pit temp. is stable at 225. Reckon I'll run into a problem leaving the vent that way?

Here is my setup: WSM water pan with 14" clay saucer. 3/4 chimney of charcoal. DigiQ II draft inducer about 1/2 open. Smoker set point at 225 degrees. Top vent wide open. Bottom vents closed. Ring full of charcoal with room left in center for hot charcoal from chimney. Temp. probe dropped...

I've yet to locate anything magnetic that supposedly came with my DigiQ II. Nor have I been able to find a picture of how it even looks.

DON'T hurt the kid's feelings about getting you the wrong cooker. Just politely tell them that smoking is apparently not for you, but you sure do need a tall Weber "steak cooker with a juice pan in the middle" -- and order yourself a WSM. Then tell them you can't believe what great barbecue...

When I cooked a rib roast during Christmas I pulled it out of the oven at 125 degrees. While the roast was resting, I opened a can of beef consomme, poured it in a shallow pan, seasoned it to taste, and brought it to a simmer. When we sliced the roast we dropped each slice individually back...

My DigiQ II arrived today but I haven't tried it yet. Looks pretty simple but I have a few questions: 1. Am I correct to assume that I still use the charcoal ring. 2. Using the MM and for low and slow, should I start with 1/2 chimney lit? Full lit? 3. What magnetic mount are they...

I ordered the DigiQ II with the 10 CFM blower in order to get up to cooking temp quicker. Now I am hoping that I should not have gone with the 4 CFM after reading in the user guide that the 4 CFM is for small/medium smokers. Can anyone advise me before it is too late to change my order? I...

I am seriously considering the BBQ Guru Competitor but have a few questions: 1. When the meat reaches the desired temp does the Guru Compeitor ramp the smoker temp down? 2. Does the Guru render my ET-73 useless or will I want to use them in combo? 3. Which 10 CFM fan should I get? ($12.00...

At Sam's that might be just for a flat. We bought a point (that we thought was a mis-marked flat) for less than that. It was still very good. Saw whole brisket in Walmart today for $1.68 and that seems to be their regular price around here.

The St. Louis style in cryovac is what we like to cook. Medium price, medium amount of meat, seem to be more meat and juicier than BB's. Getcha some Smithfield brand. They put them on sale all the time down here for $2.99/lb.

Sounds close to par-boiling(sp.) to me. I smoke on the WSM with beer--but I try not to let any get on the meat. Apparently he blew in, grabbed a few recipes, made up a few others, then blew out.
