its funny you say that. I constantly have about a 20 degree difference in DigiQ grill temp and Smoke grill temp no matter where they are positions. Did calibration on both and they were within a degree or two of spot on. No rational rhyme or reason for it. Never really cared because cooks go ok regardless, lol.

JimLinebarger I have found that the PartyQ can read crazy temperatures sometimes if the batteries are low. Could that be going on?

The response from Guru was " I apologize for any inconvenience you have had with our units. The unit tested fine here. All the probes tested fine too. Contact us with any further questions." Why am I not surprised?
Reminds me of past trips to auto repair facility and getting the dreaded "unable to duplicate customer complaint" response. I told them to keep it as I have no further use for it.

Update:
I was contacted on July 19 by Lisa Jo Goetter at BBQ Guru about my Party Q. She assured me "she wanted to get to the bottom of the problem and make it right". It is now mid September and not a word from Lisa Jo in spite of two email requests for an update.
I repeat, "Buy at your own risk".

I also had my problems with my DigiQ as a lot of you know. It went down after 4 months and I had not yet received the replacement when I went on vacation 8 days later. So hopefully it will be there when I get back when I get home around the 1st of Oct. When I had it, it was a great controller maintaining a Smokenator basket of briquets for up to 5 hours before I needed to add more coals.

I'm going to knock on wood that my PartyQ, bought last November on Cyber Monday, gives me a couple of years service. I can see replacing it and my Smoke with a Fireboard or something similar down the road, but for now its all working.
