Product Information

The BBQGuru DigiQ DX3 looks entirely different to the previously mentioned 2 models, it being from a previous generation of BBQGuru products. BBQ Guru has many useful products which aren’t related to temperature management, FlameBoss’ tunnel vision is only on making superior ATCs Some users have complained that the temperature runs away and way over the setting, despite following instructions. If your vents are all but closed, and the controller cannot control temp, it’s usually that your smoker isn’t sealed correctly though and is not a fault of the temperature controller. And so many things can change the temperature: Diminishing charcoal, external air temperature, quality of smoker (e.g., does it leak?), or trouble figuring out the air vent settings.

Some ATCs are very basic, others are capable of being their own network. These super-tech ATCs enable really remote monitoring.It is also Wi-Fi and Bluetooth enabled, and can be monitored and controlled via a well designed and feature rich smartphone app, available for both Android and iOS. Help is needed for your smoker or grill to have the steady, consistent temperature required for consistent cooking, because temperatures can fluctuate by 10s or even hundreds of degrees, depending on the grill and the environment.
