Sooooooo I bought this like 2 weeks ago, and it seems that the grate temp and food temp are really off balanced. I WAS using my maverick and it was accurate for me.
For example if dome red 225 grate was a solid 250-255ish. The digiQ on the other hand stokes the fire along at 250 and dome reads 180....not cool. I know my smoker pretty confidently because my briskets got done on time using the maverick.
Now time is taking wayyyyy longer than expected. Like....guests are awaiting for food tapping their knees long...luckily only family and friends but still. Oh and food temp is unreliable. 200 on a brisket, maverick is 212, regular temp is like 194-195.
I LIKE MY DIGIQ...for $300 u bet your butt I'm gonna like it, ANYBODY encounter the same problems?????
Recalibrating work??????
