Looking to get a controller for my WSM 18.5" and currently looking at either the BBQ Guru CyberQ cloud and the Auber SYL-2615 WIFI BBQ Controller. I want a WIFI controller and these two are the top rated controllers on Amazingribs.com. Which one should I get and why, or is there another option?

I have the cyberq cloud. It wasn’t that difficult to set up really, I don’t get the "hard to configure" ratings. Share my cook (the cloud part) is a bit wonky, but you don’t have to use it (you can go ad-hock or direct to device no internet).
Anyhow it works. Can’t say about the other choice, but my guess is it works just as well. So it’s a wash there.
The cyberq can accept up to three food probes. This is nice if you ever cook more than one thing at a time. So points for cyberq there.

I have a Fireboard and Fireboard Drive/Fan for my WSM 22.5. Fireboard is selling an Auber 20CFM fan if you buy their fan. I like the setup, works very nicely on the WSM.
