I have to say the mind is blown. This thing is working amazing! First cook is just an ole Cook's Ham, 11 pounder so should take about 4 hours at 275. Been wanting some ham lately for some reason. For the first hour, I ran the pit viper with it's internal baffle half closed. But watching how the FireBoard works with its % fan speed, It dawned on me to open it up all the way! Let the FireBoard be the boss... And it is working wonderfully!
Bottom vent on the WSCGC fully closed, top vent set to 1/8" open using my taper gauge. Setup in the Minion Method. With the pit viper baffle half closed, it worked flawlessly, but seemed just a tad less reactive than with the baffle fully open.
The fan speed is keeping this thing within just a degree or two of my set point. It ramps very well too! It also seems to sense when the door is open, and seems to give you a 5 minute fan-off while the pit ramps up on it's own which most do after giving your pit a blast of air, then sets out to stabilize the temps again.
I am VERY impressed so far!
