Brother... the Digiq worked as advertised. I woke up at 4am to check it and it was sitting at 225. Pork temp was 174.

Went back to bed and got up at 6:30 ish. Sitting at 234 (not sure why) pork temp was 184.

I just pulled it off the grill and foiled it. I'll pull it at 9am and head off to work.

This frickin' RULES!!

those things (draft controllers) are great.

Does yours have feature that will decrease the pit temp in case you aren't around to shut it down???

I really like that feature and have used it once or twice.

I'm not sure. I had the top vent damn near closed to keep it at 225-230 and then when I got up at 6:30 it was 234 and the fan was not cycling on and off... maybe next time I should remove the clay saucer?

if you are using a clay saucer in place of the water pan, then leave it. You still want a barrier from direct heat and also a place for drippings.
