Like others, I've found that battery life on the Party Q is less than desirable. In my limited experience, Alkaline batteries will do an entire cook but are not reliable for a second, and rechargeable batteries don't like cooler temperatures. I am a functionalist, more concerned with results than appearance. I'm sure the wires coming from the battery pack could be tapped into fairly easily and would make a better looking setup.
I found a AC power supply in my bag full of old units that supplies 5V at 2.6A. I cut off the end, figured out the positive and negative and installed alligator clips. With the back removed from the battery compartment I can clip on the adapter and run the Party Q on AC.
I'll be doing a cook this weekend and will be doing further testing then.
