The 2011 Thanksgiving turkey was charred by my six year old Smokin Tex. Bummer, and created a joke that keeps on laughing.
The Smokin Tex folks said they would sell me a replacement thermostat for $28. Reasonable, but I figured if restoration was required, I preferred renovation to contemporary standards. Internet searches brought me to the BBQ Guru site. Compelling, but not my ideal. I wanted WiFi control. I communicated to the BBQ Guru folks who informed me they would be delivering a WiFi CyberQ in 2012. So I bought a pizza stone for my gas DCS grill to fill the gap, and waited. The BBQ Guru folks emailed me when they were ready to ship, and then I ordered without a pause. Glad I did.
Since the Smokin Tex is an electric, I ordered the CyberQ WiFi with the Power Raptor. Here I will post information and picts on the modifications I made to my Smokin Tex, my set up, and experience.
