found your video, as Im trying to update my old "partyq". one thought you mentioned on user error with overheting is that Ive found when you open the grill to add food, i have to turn off my partyq. reason is it loses so much heat with top open, once the top is shut it would easily get back to the temp it was, but the partyq thinks it is so low that it blows a ton of air on it to the point where it over flames the coals. once the coals are blazing it over temps and hard to bring down. So I just turn it off, then once the cover is closed again, i turn it back on after about 3-4 minutes, once the temp has stabilized with the top down again. happy smoking

Great video! I recently bought the Ultraq but still having troubles adding it to sharemycook.com! Did you also have these problems? I mean the purple light on the controller is on, but the wifi signal does not appear in the app and therefore no connection to sharemycook :-(

Thank you for this very comprehensive and honest evaluation. I am doing my research now on the UltraQ and this really helped me.

Hello from cold wet England. Thank you for the great detailed review but for those living less temperate climes, what are the weather sealing properties like? Do you think the device, fan, cables etc can survive a rain shower or two?

I've been considering this, but I've read it had issues keeping the bluetooth connection. Have you had disconnection issues?

Update on BBQ Guru Product Issues – 24 customer comments – they are not good. The ramp feature was bad – now widespread wifi issues https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jh8Gi71AIW4&t=5s

You need to leave top vent all the way open then use the adjustment on the viper that’s the way it works on grills
