I got my DigiQ DX last week and have been anxiously waiting to try it out. Well, today was the day.
I have two smokers; a 2009 18 WSM and a Char-griller Super Pro with the SFB. I purchased the 25 CFM fan for the guru and both adapters for my smokers.
Today, I smoked two racks of babybacks. I was somewhat nervous and didn't know what to expect with the guru, but went ahead and gave it my best shot. I used my Char-griller for the ribs since it is much larger and the BB's I was smoking were pretty long. I hooked everything up and powered it up. I only used the pit probe, as I was planning on using the 3-2-1 method for the ribs. I set the guru target temp for 235. It quickly brought the temp to target temp. I should mention that I had the damper wide open. However, the temp kept rising all the way to 260. I am thinking I put too many lit coals in my minion method basket. The only thing that puzzles me is that the fan kept blowing every so often after the temp was way higher than the target temp. I figured it wouldn't blow at all until the temp fell back down to target temp. What did I do wrong? Why did the fan continue to blow every so often when it was way too hot?
The ribs came out fair. I believe in the guru technology, but I realize I still have lots to learn.
