Not at all! I have a Maverick and an IQue 110. For the past several months though I have been using the Maverick (and the Thermapen for that matter) less and less. I love the IQue for my UDS on busy days when I don't have time do what I love, which is fark around with the fire in my offset all day. I put the post up in a moment loving how simple and effective it is to use the firebox door to regulate temps. You can cool off yer fire and keep it burning clean - something I learned here, of course. :thumb:
I'm happy to cook on anything, but I think the stickburner will always be my first preference - nothing like it!
I just realized that the crack on the wall looks like a wire, and that may be what some folks are responding to.
The device I'm referring to is the firebox door. :laugh: It stays put real good!
