BBQ Guru Party Q

[essexsmoker]

I'm sure you will love it. Stokers really take the pain out of cooking.

I built my own. Not a complicated affair, but my the difference it makes. I had it for my UDS and the temp never varied by more than about 5C, if that.

Sounds good. As I mentioned previously my WSM is fitted with Nomex Gaskets so, once the PartyQ is installed I hope to see very stable temps. Looking forward to trying to cook Short Ribs (had them at Bodeans on Saturday evening and loved them)

Where did you get your nomex gaskets from?

You should get good stability with that fitted.

Short ribs are a doddle, so fatty and marbled you can't really go wrong.

Let us know how they go.

Ordered the gasket via eb@y and had two reels shipped over from the US. Have also used the same gasket around the rim of the lid on my Mastertouch. Since installing I see a lot less smoke escaping where each of the sections connect and they certainly help stop air leaking in.

It's the self-adhesive type (before choosing I viewed a couple of online videos of installing the type that comes with a tube of glue, and opted for the less-messy approach).

Had an update email: Guru should arrive today. Was planning on roasting a leg of lamb on the kettle on Saturday but I might have to switch the menu to Baby-backs on the WSM so I can try out my new toy

Wishbox usa do them too

Thanks for replys.

Good luck with the lamb.

Very tempted by a PartyQ for my WSM as well, but also wondering at what point. GMG Davy Crockett starts to make more sense? I might get one and I guess I can also sell it on if I upgrade in future. Look forward to hearing how you get on.

Update. have finally found time to use the Party Q. I really like it.

Temp swings over/under target were higher than people have described but i was only running a very small starting fire and limited unlit fuel (configured as a thick snake) because it was a ribs cook. I suspect the swings will be less pronounced with a bigger, more stable, fire as would be the case with my longer cooks.

Love the ease of it, looking forward to the next time I have a reason to throw a packer on
