1. SAFETY WARNINGS
INSTALLATION/SAFETY INFORMATION: READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS USER’S GUIDE
COMPLETELY BEFORE INSTALLING OR USING THIS PRODUCT!!
WARNING: KEEP YOUR CONTROL DRY!! Allowing the control to get wet can cause damage to its
electronics and/or make it operate incorrectly, causing a hazardous condition.
WARNING: FIRE HAZARD, BURN HAZARD!! Even quality electronics can fail CAUSING THE BLOWER
TO RUN CONSTANTLY, RESULTING IN EXCESSIVE TEMPERATURES! Power Draft Blowers can get the pit
temperature higher than natural draft. Use extra caution in opening the pit and determining blower placement. Always
inspect the probe wires for damage which can cause the blower to run constantly causing the pit to become excessively
hot.
WARNING: FIRE HAZARD, BURN HAZARD!! FLAMES, SPARKS, AND LIT EMBERS CAN EXIT ANY
OPENING ON THE PIT CAUSING FIRE!! Keep the pit located a safe distance away from flammable objects including
buildings, walls, solvents, cars, fuel, wood piles, furniture, etc. and use caution when opening the pit. An ember that has
fallen or is ejected from the pit can be blown by a light wind into a garage or other structure, debris field, woods, or grass
field and cause fire. Have a fire extinguisher and water supply available near the pit. If the pit is used on a wooden or
combustible surface such as a wooden deck, place the cooker on a non-flammable pad intended for this purpose.
WARNING: FIRE HAZARD, BURN HAZARD!! Even quality electronics can fail and cause the temperature to
read incorrectly. Use a redundant dial thermometer as a backup temperature sensor to verify the control’s reading of the
pit temperature.
WARNING: SMOKE CAN COMBUST WHEN OXYGEN IS INTRODUCED AND PRODUCE SEVERE
BURNS!! ALWAYS USE CAUTION WHEN OPENING THE LID OR DOOR OF THE PIT.
WARNING: PIT FIRES CAN OCCUR WHEN LIQUIDS ARE SPILLED OR WHEN SURFACES INSIDE THE
COOKER REACH THE IGNITION TEMPERATURE OF FATS!! Never pour or toss water directly into a fat fire.
Reduce the temperature by cooling the fire in the firebox with a water spray. Close the cooking chamber door and the
firebox while it is steaming to smother the fire. Repeat this procedure as necessary to get the pit fire under control.
NOTE: Pit fires can be largely avoided if the pit is kept clean and free from fat buildup during or between cooks.
Changing drip trays during a cook cycle helps keep flammable fats in the pit to a minimum. Keep cooking temperatures
low enough to avoid ignition.
WARNING: THERE ARE HOT SURFACES ON ALL PARTS OF THE COOKER BEFORE, DURING, AND
AFTER COOKING!! Wear protective clothing when tending the pit, attempting to extinguish a fire, or dumping a firebox
in a proper ash receptacle. Be ready to call your local fire company in the case of an emergency situation.
CAUTION: Fire danger is always present even in the best conditions. Continuously perform safety precaution
procedures.
WARNING: SHOCK HAZARD, HIGH VOLTAGE!! The power supply for this product is plugged into a 120 or
240 VAC Mains. THIS VOLTAGE CAN CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH. KEEP THE POWER SUPPLY AWAY FROM
WATER AND OFF OF THE GROUND. NEVER TOUCH THE POWER SUPPLY IF IT GETS WET.

4. PROBES
The probes provided with the DigiQ are precision stainless steel thermocouples. The thermocouple wires have an armor
braid with moisture and smoke resistant Teflon insulation that is rated for steady-state temperatures up to 500 degrees F.
The user can pass these thin wires under the lid of the grill or through a small hole without creating a large gap which
would allow air to get through (air intrusion). Be careful not to kink these wires or let them come in contact with flames.
These probes are user-replaceable and are available at www.bbqguru.com; we recommend having a spare set for
unforeseen emergencies.
Important Note: Be sure to fully insert your probes into the control. Push the plug into the receptacle until you feel
and hear it snap in place. If you do not plug the probes in securely, you may experience sporadic temperature readings
and the DigiQ DX2 will not control your cooker accurately. The temperature may also read low, causing your cooker to
get excessively hot.
Important Note: The pit probe must be placed in the pit for proper temperature regulation. If the pit probe is not
located in the pit, proper control will not take place. This can cause the blower to run constantly causing your pit to
become excessively hot.
Important Note: The Big Green Egg and other ceramic grills present a special-case situation that can lead to early
probe failure.
If you use the plate setter heat diffuser, you need to run the probe cables over one of the ceramic legs. The heat coming
up through the gaps is intense and focused, and if the cable is exposed to this heat, it “bakes” and begins to break down
much more quickly than usual.
Even if you do not use the plate setter, any heat or flame “event” inside your Egg can send a blast of heat – even flames –
up the inside of the smoker, sometimes ruining a probe instantly. In this case, we recommend placing a disposable pan
inside the Egg to create a “safe zone” for your probes. This can be done with or without the place setter.
It is the very efficiency and insulation that makes the ceramic cookers so versatile that makes special steps necessary.
Follow these steps and you can experience the 2-3 year probe life that is common with other types of smokers.
4.1. FOOD PROBE
If the food probe will not be used, it should be unplugged before applying power to the DigiQ, not during operation. This
will allow the DigiQ time to configure its alarm operation to prevent false food alarms. The food probe can also be left
plugged in, but not inserted into the food.

5
5. POWER DRAFT BLOWERS
All blowers are equipped with an adjustable damper and an aluminum nozzle. The blower housing is constructed of
stainless steel for a clean, durable, and long lasting finish.
The slide damper can be completely closed to kill the fire or can be adjusted to a small opening for cold smoking. This
feature allows fine adjustments to be made due to natural drafts that effect cooking temperature during the blower’s off
cycle. Testing on different settings is recommended. Open the damper fully for quick start up or grilling at high
temperatures. Close half way for smaller cookers or low and slow cooking. Close three-quarters of the way for cold
smoking.
6. KEY OPERATION
FOOD – shows the food temperature when pressed
PIT – shows the pit temperature when pressed
UP – indexes the setpoint up
DOWN – indexes the setpoint down
FOOD + PIT – powers the unit on or off when both buttons are held
UP + DOWN – enters the setup menu when both buttons are held
PIT + UP – invokes the Scan Mode
PIT + DOWN – invokes the Diagnostic Mode
KEY PRESS CHIRP
When the beeper intensity is set to above 0, any key press will cause an acknowledge chirp. Setting the Beeper Intensity in
the menu to 0 will disable the chirp.
SILENCING THE BEEPER WITH ANY KEY PRESS
Any time the beeper is sounding, press any key to silence it and clear the alarm condition. To turn the beeper off, set the
Beeper Intensity in the menu to 0.
7. POWERING UP
Upon applying power, the DigiQ will show to test the display and then shows the version number.
If there is a brief or sustained power interruption at any time while cooking, the DigiQ will automatically restart and
continue to control the pit at the same settings that were originally set.

6
8. THE DISPLAY
The DigiQ’s three digit LED display has three status indicators.
BLOWER STATUS INDICATOR
The Blower Status Indicator and Blower Display Warble will help determine how the fire is being controlled. When there
is sufficient fuel in the pit, the blower will gently puff the fire, feeding it little bursts of oxygen. When the blower is
energized, the display will blink about once per second (blower warble) and the blower status indicator will turn on. When
the pit starts to run out of fuel, the blower will run almost all of the time.
DETERMINING THE OUTPUT PERCENTAGE FROM THE BLOWER WARBLE
The Blower Warble is designed so that the output percentage of the blower can be determined by counting how many
display blinks (warbles) occur in a given cycle as per the table below:
TIP: If the output percentage is around 80-100% for a long time, the pit may be running out of charcoal. If the output
percentage is around 10% for a long time and the temperature is oscillating, close the blower damper adjustment slightly
for better control.
8.2. FOOD DONE MESSAGE
When the food temperature reaches or exceeds the food setpoint, the display will scroll and the beeper will
sound.
8.3. OVER/UNDER RANGE TEMPERATURE
If the temperature goes below 32 or above 485 degrees F on the food or pit probe, the display will show

7
8.4. FOOD OR PIT TEMPERATURE DISPLAYS
The DigiQ can display either the food or pit temperature. The default is pit. Press the Food button once to display food
temperature, then press Pit to return.
8.5. SCAN MODE
Pressing PIT + UP invokes the Scan Mode. In the Scan Mode, the display will flash between the pit temperature and the
food temperature about every four seconds. To turn the scan mode off, unplug power. If an alarm occurs during scanning,
the display will show the temperature causing the alarm condition until the alarm condition goes away or is acknowledged
by pressing any key. Pressing the UP or DOWN keys will change the setpoint of the temperature that is shown on the
display.
9. SETTING THE SETPOINTS
To display the pit setpoint temperature, tap the UP or DOWN key while displaying the pit temperature. To set the pit
setpoint simply press the UP or DOWN key.
To display the food setpoint temperature, tap the UP or DOWN key while displaying the food temperature. To set the
food setpoint simply press the UP or DOWN key.

8
10. SETUP MENU
Press the UP & DOWN keys simultaneously to enter the setup menu. The screens below are shown in the order they
appear as the UP + DOWN keys are pressed again. When the F/C select is reached and the UP + DOWN keys are pressed
again, the setup menu loops, so the pit temperature will be displayed again.
ALARM DEVIATION SETPOINT
If the temperature of the pit deviates above the setpoint by the alarm deviation setpoint, the alarm will sound and the
display will blink . If the temperature of the pit deviates below the setpoint by the alarm deviation setpoint, the
alarm will sound and the display will blink .
The alarm will not sound when the control is first powered up and the pit is cold. The alarm is only allowed once the
temperature gets close to the pit temperature setpoint. The alarm deviation is settable from 20 to 125 degrees F and the
factory default is 50 degree F.
If the ramp feature is turned on and the pit is actively ramping, the only time that the low alarm will become active is if
the pit temperature drops 20 degrees below the food setpoint temperature.

9
RAMP MODE
When the ramp is set to (ramp yes), the low and slow ramp mode is enabled. This mode is used for slow
cooks so the food never overcooks. This feature will gradually lower the pit temperature to the food setpoint temperature
when the food is within 30 degrees of being done. The controller will hold the pit temperature slightly above the food
setpoint as long as there is fuel.
The factory default setting is (ramp no), so ramp must be enabled to use it. Note: when using this feature,
the pit temperature can be started higher than normal to reduce cook time and not overcook the food. If the food probe is
not plugged in and the ramp mode is turned on, the ramp LED will be on but no ramping will take place.
BEEPER INTENSITY
The beeper intensity can be adjusted from 0-10. 0 is off, 1 is a small, infrequent chirp and a 10 is a frequent, loud beep.
The factory default is 4. If you have multiple pits, this feature is useful for distinguishing one pit from another, by giving
each one a unique beep duration.

10
OPEN LID DETECT
This feature will allow quick recovery to the setpoint temperature after the lid is opened. When the open lid is set to
(open lid yes), open lid detect is enabled. When the lid is opened, the temperature will drop. This can cause
the blower to over-fire the coals and cause overshoot when the lid is shut. This mode detects when the pit’s lid is open and
minimizes the blower running during that time. Some overshoot will always be present when the pit’s lid is opened and
closed even if the blower is off, because it still introduces oxygen to the fire. The factory default is , so
disable this feature if there are problems with excess air currents in the pit. To disable this feature, set it to
(open lid no). To prevent false alarms, the alarm will not sound when the temperature drops and the lid is open.
OPEN LID DETECT – OVERSHOOT ELIMINATOR
When the open lid detect is enabled, the rate that the temperature rises in the pit will be limited, preventing over-firing.
This will make a typical startup to a temperature of 250 degrees F take a minimum of 20 minutes and will help to
eliminate startup overshoot.
11. ADAPTIVE CONTROL STRATEGY
The DigiQ’s Adaptive Control Strategy is designed to operate with a wide variety of pits by continually learning what the
pit is doing and adapting to many factors such as outside air temperature, amount of charcoal, damper settings, etc. For the
DigiQ to work properly and determine how to adapt, the temperature inside the pit cannot oscillate up and down and the
lid must stay closed. If the lid is opened often, especially on startup, the control cannot be expected to maintain setpoint. If
the lid is left closed for approximately 10-20 minutes, the temperature will become stable after the control adapts. If the
lid has been shut for at least 20-30 minutes and the temperature is going up and down significantly (+/- 10 degrees or
more), the fan damper needs to be closed more. The pit may run a few degrees high or low due to various conditions but
the control will bring it back to the setpoint. Pit temperatures of 20 degrees high or low rarely have an effect on the quality
of food.
SNAP-TO SET POINT
Air currents in your grill or smoker can make a sensitive and accurate instrument like the DigiQ read actual temperatures
rapidly (ie: 223, 224, 223, 225, 224, 226, etc. when the pit temperature is set to 225°F). The DigiQ control is programmed
to snap to the pit set point temperature when the pit is within +/- 5 degrees of the temperature set

11
12. CONNECTIONS
From left to right: Power Input, Blower Output, Pit Probe, Food Probe, per the diagram below.
13. BUILDING A PROPER FIRE FOR GOOD CONTROL
How you build the fire in your pit is critical for good control, especially at low cooking temperatures. Stack the charcoal
inside your pit so it’s shaped like a pyramid, small at the top and large at the bottom. Light the fire by lighting a few coals
at the top. Do not over-fire the charcoal or light it at the bottom, because this will only cause your pit to over-fire during
startup. Some overshoot is normal; try setting your cook temp 15-20 degrees low when starting and raising it after your
meat is on and the temperature has stabilized.
ELIMINATING LARGE FLUCTUATIONS IN THE PIT TEMPERATURE
Normally the DigiQ will be able to adjust the airflow via the blower to deliver precise control and no damper adjustment
will be required. If the pit has become over-fired or if the fire was built too big, large temperature swings (+/- 10 degrees
or more) may occur. To eliminate this, restrict the airflow by adjusting the blower damper. Try closing the damper to half
the current setting and the pit should stabilize within 10-15 minutes after adjustment.
EXTINGUISHING THE PIT
If there is fuel left over from the cook, save this fuel by closing off any open dampers, removing the blower, and plugging
the fan adapter opening with a kill plug. This will put the fire out in approximately 30-45 minutes.

15. FAN DAMPER
With a fan-controlled firebox, you need to be able to adjust the amount of air being blown into the firebox. In addition,
natural draft may affect cooking temperature when the fan is off. While arriving at final settings requires testing and
experimentation, as a general rule it is good to start with the slide damper fully open on offset and large cabinet smokers,
halfway open on medium-size vertical or cabinet smokers, and one-third to half open on kettles, bullet, and ceramic
smokers. This should support cooking from 225° F to 275°F. Note that it is more efficient for the fan to provide enough
air to raise the cooking temperature a few degrees high than to labor consistently a few degrees low.
The top damper functions differently with a fan-controlled system than with a natural-draft system. Where the fan damper
controls the amount of air flowing into the smoker, the top damper influences the amount of air flowing out. We
recommend keeping the top damper as little as possible in order to retain heat and smoke in the cooking chamber,
consistent with reaching the desired cooking temperature.
Close the damper completely to extinguish the fire after cooking (you can also remove the fan and insert a silicone “kill
plug” into the adapter).
