Hmm - didn't even think of this. I read the manual cover to cover as well as a bunch of posts on several forums and didn't read anything about it... so I guess not.

Well, I'm sure if it was necessary it would have been prominently mentioned in the manual. Actually, with a high-end product like that, it's not surprising that it's unneeded.

I ordered the new DigiQ II "Power Draft Control System" this afternoon: http://secure.thebbqguru.com/ProductCart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=49&idproduct=235

Went ahead and upgraded to the 10 CFM fan as several on their forums suggested. I watched several videos about it and it looks like its gonna be pretty awesome.

Welp, the cheapo pizza stone lasted exactly 2 times... it just popped in half while heating the EGG up a few mins ago. It worked in a pinch - will have to order a real BGE pizza stone here shortly...

Heh. It could hear Ed talking to it.

Man, I can't wait till Tax time... hope this year's refund is exceptional.... If so, BGE here I come! (I have to get a fridge too, so let's hope for a LOT of money. Otherwise, it's a choice between BGE and Kegerator!)

I've had my BGE pizza stones for years. I use my large for Pizzas and the medium for indirect cooking with the spider rig from www.eggaccessories.com. It works much better than BGE's plate setter.

My el cheapo pizza stone did the same thing a couple of years ago. I just use it that way anyway and it works fine.

Wow...I went and checked out the prices on these things. YIKES. Way out of my league. Am I missing something? Where are the deals?

Ed said that you can get a good deal on them during Eggtoberfest -but I wasn't going to wait that long.

Yeah, it was expensive but unless it gets stolen it will probablybe the last smoker / bbq grill I ever have to buy...

Got my Pit Controller in today. Its the new DigiQ II from www.thebbqguru.com with their 10 CFM fan. This thing is badass... It is their new model with Open Lid Detection (which seems to work pretty well).

I lit it up and set it to 225 - came back 15 mins later and it was stuck right on the money. Let it sit for over an hour at 225 and it held perfectly... Then ramped it up to 450 and cooked the only thing I had, fish sticks - heh - which turned out awesome but would have been a little better if I had set it up for indirect cooking...
