British BBQ Society Forums

Don't think it ever got followed up on. If there is enough interest, 10+ then we should give it a go

I contacted them for another forum member and the price was as advertised, no harm in trying again if there was 10 required.

Even if we don't get a big discount you will save on shipping so worth looking in to, that is unless we can swing a Stoker group buy

I don't know the price of the Stoker, but at $139 I'd be up for an iQue

Just to let anyone know that I recently aquired one of these and once you get used to the device they are worth just over £100. There seens to be a difference in using lumpwood and brickets, as lumpwood runs hotter and takes at bit to calm down. Been using it all day, taking readings and was glad to say that I had a constant temp for 7 hours.

Sorry a bit slow this morning, was that with lumpwood or briquettes?

A basic Stoker system will set you back $295 to $365 depending on the size of the smoker, the major advantage of a Stoker over the iQue besides web based control etc... is the ability to both monitor the meat temperature and set it to hold once your chosen temperature is reached a real bonus if you need to get on with other things besides BBQ

Undecided about grillstock, It's not that I don't want to, it's about getting time away from work. Went to grillstock last year and I thought it was a great event.

The first time I used the IQ I used lumpwood and it was running too hot. Because I had food in the Pro Q, I had to turn off the IQ. so latley I've been teasting the device without any food. ( I know, I live a exciting life ) Yesterday I used the menion method and had lumpwood in the chimmney starter and heatbeads in the basket. To me, that seems to be the best method.

With the iQue the minion method is a must, if you're finding temps are running away you need to try less lit to begin with and get the iQue controlling things ASAP. I find the BGE method works really well with the iQue so maybe give that a go if you want to use lump.
