IQ110 BBQ Temperature Regulator Kit for Pit Barrel Cooker

Very good product. The adapter plate for the PitMaster was very easy to install. Light indicator works well and agrees with my accurate digital thermometer, but seems to lag slightly compared to the temp setting on the unit (probably so the pit doesn't get over heated).

Turned my pit barrel smoker into a “set it and forget it” smoker. Temp never varies more than +\- 10 deg F entire cook time. Only problem is temp setting on controller does not match actual temp in smoker. Need an additional temp probe to monitor temp. Instructions are also vague. You’ll need to play around with vent settings to dial it in, but once you do that it’s fine.

Overrated barbecue smoke barrel. This barrel is improperly, made, cannot get enough airflow without buying another device that pushes air through the bottom of the barrel. Purchased the airflow device that they recommended, and it still was too small and now had to use special tape to maintain airflow for system to even work. Would not purchase this barrel, a waste of time and money.

I used this today on a Pit Barrel Cooker and it is working beyond my expectations controlling very well. It took some adjustments and I did start the coals with less which took the IQ100 some time to get to set point but I am very happy with it. No more large temperature swings. I give it a TEN.

Easy to use, but I hope you don't mind the fact that it will not hold a precise temperature. According to my ThermoPro, the temperature will vary +/- 20 deg of your actual setting throughout your cook. Not a huge deal as I wrap based on looks & take meat off based on texture & internal temp rather than a cooking temperature/time formula. It would be nice if it held a precise temperature, but it's a huge upgrade from manually adjusting vents all the time. Update - took one star off because the temperature probe is junk. I have a drum smoker with a notch cut into the side so wires aren't pinched. Despite the fact I am very careful with the wires, I've had to replace the temperature probe numerous times. If you buy this temperature controller, make sure you buy an extra probe and be prepared to buy a new one every three months or some. I also have a Therm Pro that monitors smoker and meat temp. In over two years, I've never had to replace one of their probes, so it is possible to use reliable probes. For some reason, Pitmaster IQ chooses to use low quality ones though.

Loving it, no more standing next to the infernos of hell watching gauges. On third round, has kept temps within 10 degrees for 8 hours of cooking. Don't use to much fuel, add every few hours. Great product for a beginner like me

Awesome product. I love that it keeps the temperature perfect and I don't have to continually check the temp or add more coals or wood. Wish I would've been ordered one of these a long time ago!

The temperature is almost accurate but it having a second thermometer you can be almost accurate.
