    Smobot arrived

    I've just finished my second brisket cook using the new Smobot. It's an amazing tool! The first cook was a dead calm day. The Smobot held within 2 degrees of my target temp the whole way. The second cook was a gusty day with wind speeds ranging from 10 to 30 mph. It was within 5 degrees of the target temp the whole cook. My KJ can be pain to keep within 20 degrees when the wind is gusting at different speeds. Yes I can turn out a good brisket without it, but this is like having an automatic transmission in heavy traffic. It just makes things better. I don't know if I'm getting smarter or lazier, either way I'm good with it.

        Oak Smoke thanks for your post. I live in Dallas and the gusty winds are chronic. The Smobot has stoked my MCS in the past, but I think your post may have pushed me over the hump.

          I don't think you'll regret it. It just simply works. The 2 food probes were a welcome addition.

        Sometimes being smart involves a degree of laziness

          That's definitely one of my mottoes. Along with Mose Allison's "Moderation in all things; and moderation's the first to go"!

        I love the automatic nature of thermostatic controllers!

          I picked up a smobot a few months ago. It's been a fantastic new tool--I'm totally on board.

            "Work smart, not hard" By George I think you've got it!

              And it only took a bit over 60 years to get to that point!

            If I didn't already have a DigiQ, I'd get a Smobot. But I have other things I could do with the money.

            Smobot has one huge advantage: everything happens at eye-level. No bending down to install a fan adapter on a vent where everything is gunked up, no tapping a lower fan vent to get the right amount of "choke".
