    WSM 18.5" Controller - Which to choose

    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 not the cloud model. I love it not as hard to set up like a lot say it is, they are more than happy to walk you thru it if needed

      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.

          I have the Fireboard and the BBQ Guru Pit Viper fan. It drives my 22 and 18" WSMs and my 22" kettle. Works like a miracle.

            Nope always run it wide open. I had to learn fire sizing techniques to match temp profiles. I’m still playing with the SNS in my kettle. WSMs are dialed in.

            Do you have to buy the Fireboard control cable for $79 to run the fan or does the pit viper come with a control cable that will work with the Fireboard?

            You have to buy the control cable. It comes with a power source and plug in for the fan, then it plugs to the Fireboard unit. It’s a little pricey but well worth the expense. Get it !!!
