I was wondering what percentage of the people who cook with WSMs use an automatic temperature controller. I use a BBQ Guru and do so to focus my time on improving my cooking skills and finding and trying new recipes rather than tending to the fire. My son in California uses a Stoker for the same purposes.
I clearly understand that lots of people enjoy tending the fire and find it a pleasant part of the BBQ process, so I am not trying to convince anyone that using an automatic controller is the best way to go. I also have a sense that people who compete use controllers more than backyard cooks, but I have no information to back up this assumption of mine.
