Good morning all!
Questions as follows:
1. I have a BBQ Guru DigiQDX2 with a 10 CFM fan. I recently built a new UDS and utilized the curu to keep a temp of 325* cooking a brisket. It did a great job at that. I know there is a fan splitter the Guru sells to be able to hook up 2 fans, but has anyone used the 2nd fan for another pit? i.e. another UDS? Not sure if the DIGIQ can do 2 read outs.
2. I plan on cooking on the drop down gate on my new enclosed trailer. The gate is made from wood and the wood is exposed. If I put the little 2" metal casters on the bottom of the UDS, will that help in preventing any burning/scorching of the deck?
3. Can anyone speak on the reliability of the BPS temp gauge? Certainly looks cool, but we all functionality as well. I am concerned the probe isn't long enough. If not the BPS temp gauge, can anyone recommend a reliable one?
4. Can anyone explain if there is a difference in airflow if the intakes are extended upwards. I am a husky fella, so bending down can be rather tedious.
5. Diffuser. My basket sits about 13" off the bottom of my drum. I used to use a pizza pan that I wired to the bottom of the cooking grate that hung about 5 inches below it. It seemed to do the job well. Would it make sense to take a normal cooking grate and place it just above the basket with a terracotta plate, so even with a flat lid, I can have more then 1 cooking grate available? thus having even cooking temps? Make sense?
Now, before anyone goes into the "UDS's are set it and forget pits" I know, just trying to get more versatility out of them. Thanks!
