    Smobot help

    The DigiQ DX2 died and after reading a number of posts here, I decided to purchase a Smobot. I'm asking for any tips, tricks, and pointers on set-up, settings on the LBGE, what-to-do, and what-not-do and anything that I should know that's not in the directions help. I read that EdF is the current go-to person on the subject and I would appreciate your advice. Thanks much!

      I'm assuming they still ship with a high-quality, external power supply. That's essential. The wifi setup is easy. Check their site for firmware upgrades (though they generally mail you to let you know if you register with them). Other than recharging the power supply in between uses, not much else to say. It's a low-maintenance piece of equipment. I generally don't put it on the cooker until near the desired temp. Bottom vent ~1/4 - 1/2".

    Mine runs off of electric, and make sure you set it to auto. Also, if you start too large of a fire it can be hard to keep it within the low set temperature. If you follow their procedure you should be fine.
