Ramp mode on the cyber q

kevinstaggs · 02-08-2018, 11:47 PM

Anyone experienced with ramp mode? I understand that pit temps are lowered as the meat gets within 30 def of its setpoint. How much is the cook time extended? Does using ramp mode make holding in a cooler unnecessary? Should you tighten up the 30 def window - seems like it would add tons of time to a cook.

All experiences and tips welcome.

Not certain if it's 30° but I suffer no extension of cooking times in any manner. Not certain if you can adjust the ramp settings on a Digi-Q.

No, I still use a Cambro or a cooler as required for holding the meat.

Here is what I found.

Important: The Ramp Mode does NOT ramp the pit up in temperature. It ramps the pit temperature down proportionally as needed when your "meat done" temperature reaches within 25° of DONE, therefore your meat will NOT overcook. Consider this a "Cook and Hold" feature.

I dont use it on my CyberQ with the Pint. Havent found a need yet but might try it out after reading this.

You control where it lands with a cyberq, however it will not work well on insulated smokers. They hold heat to well.

Hi All How does one set the ramp mode?

The easiest way is to log into your CyberQ from a computer by typing the IP address into a web browser. It is under the setup tab.

Bummer I'm NOT tech savy.
I just found this? To activate the low-and-slow Ramp Mode, with The BBQ GURU powered off, set the meat setpoint to any temperature (other than off). Then press the power button.
So I'm guessing for brisket or a pork butt 200*+ should work?
How have others handle this? Is worth the trouble?
Thanks DanB
