The BBQ Guru, maker of the world’s most accurate temperature controls for competitive BBQ, announces the release of the PartyQ. Comes complete with a 5 cfm fan and battery operated. The easy-to-use PartyQ controls the temperature of charcoal or wood burning grills within a few degrees of accuracy. This gives backyard BBQers the taste of charcoal cooking with the control of their kitchen oven. Even a novice outdoor cook can make competitive-quality, low and slow BBQ with the PartyQ.
The PartyQ’s Adaptive Control Strategy is designed to operate with a wide variety of pits by continually learning what the pit is doing and adapting to many factors such as outside air temperature, amount of charcoal, damper settings, etc. For the PartyQ to work properly and determine how to adapt, the temperature inside the pit cannot oscillate up and down and the lid must stay closed. If the lid is opened often, especially on startup, the control cannot be expected to maintain setpoint. If the lid is left closed for approximately 10-20 minutes, the temperature will become stable after the control adapts. The pit may run a few degrees high or low due to various conditions but the control will bring it back to the setpoint. Pit temperatures of 20 degrees high or low rarely have an effect on the quality of food.
