I've been quiet tonight because I've been doing a dry run with the new Stoker that arrived.  I started a fire in the Bubba Keg and set the Stoker at 250.  For the past two hours the temp has not varied more than 2 degrees (either way) from the target!!!  To be able to control the unit from my phone is too cool.  This seems to be a dream come true for geeks who enjoy Bubba Q'ing ;D

I've downloaded the "StokerLog" software and am figuring out how everything works.  I'll post pics and a review once I've had ample time to form a final opinion. I probably won't have time to do an actual cook until after the holiday when I get back from Texas.

New car, caviar, four star daydream, think I'll buy me a football team.

An app for controlling a Bubba Keg?  Maybe I should have kept one of those I delivered to CRG?

Yes, it has a built-in web server so you can control the unit from any web enabled device.

Very nice!

My Bro-In-Law ended up biting the bullet and picked up a Big Steel Keg last week.  I'm still holding out hope for a deal but it sounds like it's a lost cause at this point.  I'd be happy to find a $300 Bubba Keg and pay shipping to have it sent here but it seems like the supply is finally running out.

Get's expensive in a hurry either way because I HAVE to have one of them Stokers too!  Keep us up to date on how you do with it and the StokerLog software.

Controlling your smoker from your phone or over the internet.... wow, thats pretty cool!
Is it bad if my wife refers to the smoker as "The Mistress"?
