Tips for WSM 22 + iq120 ?
Love my WSM 22" and the iq120 but I've noticed it creates a significant 'hot spot' on the side where the standard adapter is connected. Anyone got any tips/ideas for dealing with this? Thanks!

how significant is this hot spot up by the meat?
|
Do a biscuit test to see if there is an issue at rack level. I use a digiq and have no issues as the fire creeps.
|
Take it off and try it, no need for a controller ...

How hot is the hot spot? I use one on my 18.5 and haven't had any noticeable issues. One idea to try is to light the coals on the far side away from the intake, this way the coals heat up and move towards the intake and spread throughout the cook.
I have also see people use some sort of deflector shield or adapter to force the air under the coals a bit better to get a more even distribution. |
I'd recommend ditching the pid.
Were you having temp issues with the WSM without the controler? I typically set my vents and walk away (even before it's up to temp), and don't even lay eyes on the pit for 6-8 hours. It's just one of those things in life I don't worry myself with. The key is having confidence in your equipment. |
^Agree with this. As long as you have set it up correctly, there isnt much you have to do to it.
