1. SAFETY WARNINGS
INSTALLATION / SAFETY INFORMATION. READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS
USERGUIDE COMPLETELY BEFORE INSTALLING OR USING THIS PRODUCT!!
WARNING: FIRE HAZARD, BURN HAZARD!! Even quality electronics can
fail CAUSING THE BLOWER TO RUN CONSTANTLY, RESULTING IN EXCESSIVE TEM-
PERATURES! Power Draft Fans can get the temperature of your pit higher than
through natural draft, so use extra caution in opening your pit and determining
its placement. Always inspect your fan and probe wires for damage. Damaged
wires can cause the blower to run constantly causing your pit to become exces-
sively hot.
WARNING: FIRE HAZARD, BURN HAZARD!! FLAMES, SPARKS AND LIT
EMBERS CAN EXIT ANY OPENING ON YOUR PIT, CAUSING FIRES - Keep your pit
located a safe distance from anything flammable like buildings, walls, solvents,
cars, fuel, wood piles, furniture, etc. and always use caution when opening the
pit. Be aware that an ember that has fallen or is ejected from the charcoal cook-
er can be blown by a light wind into a garage or other structure, debris field,
woods, or grass field and cause a fire to start. Always have a fire extinguisher
and water supply close by. If the cooker is to be used on a combustible sur-
face such as a wooden deck, always 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 - BE SURE TO USE A REDUN-
DANT DIAL THERMOMETER AS A BACKUP TEMPERATURE SENSOR ON YOUR PIT
– This will allow you to verify your control’s temperature reading for your safety.
Even though the CyberQ Cloud Wi-Fi can be controlled remotely, allowing you
to cook while you are away, someone should always be present when your pit is
cooking to prevent fires.
WARNING: SMOKE CAN COMBUST WHEN OXYGEN IS INTRODUCED
AND PRODUCE SEVERE BURNS – ALWAYS USE CAUTION WHEN OPENING THE
LID OR DOOR OF YOUR PIT.
WARNING: KEEP YOUR CONTROL DRY – Allowing your control to get
wet can cause damage to its electronics and/or make it operate incorrectly
CREATING A HAZARDOUS CONDITION.

4REV 0.9.5
WARNING: Pit fires can occur when liquids are spilled or when cook-
ing at temperatures that cause surfaces inside the cooker to 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. This procedure may need to be repeated several times before the pit fire is
under control.
NOTE: Pit fires can be largely avoided if the cooker is kept clean and free from
fat buildup during or between cooks. Changing drip trays during a cook cycle
will help keep flammable fats in the cooker to a minimum. You are dealing with
an open fire when you are cooking on charcoal and wood.
WARNING: There are hot surfaces on all parts of the cooker before
during and after cooking. Always wear protective clothing when tending the
cooker or attempting to extinguish a fire or dumping a firebox in the proper ash
receptacle at the end of a cook. Always be ready to call your local Fire Company
in the case of an emergency before the situation gets out of control.
CAUTION: Fire danger is always present, even in the best of conditions.
There is no substitute for continuous safety scrutiny on the part of the user.
WARNING: SHOCK HAZARD, HIGH VOLTAGE!! The power supply for
this product is plugged into a 120 or 240 VAC Mains. THIS VOLTAGE CAN KILL
OR HURT YOU. KEEP THE POWER SUPPLY AWAY FROM WATER AND OFF OF THE
GROUND - do not let it get exposed to rain or snow and NEVER TOUCH THE
POWER SUPPLY IF IT GETS WET.
CAUTION: To satisfy FCC RF Exposure requirements for mobile and base
station transmission devices, a separation distance of 20 cm or more should be
maintained between the antenna of this device and persons during operation.
To ensure compliance, operation at closer than this distance is not recommend-
ed. The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating
in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

3. PROBES
The probes provided with your CyberQ Cloud Wi-Fi are stainless steel precision
thermocouples. The thermocouple wires have an armor braid with moisture and
smoke resistant teflon insulation that is rated for 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 intru-
sion). 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 CyberQ Cloud Wi-Fi will not control your cooker accurately. The
temperature may also read low, causing you 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.
If you decide not to use the food probe(s), they should be unplugged before
applying power to the CyberQ Cloud Wi-Fi, not during operation. This will allow
the CyberQ Cloud Wi-Fi time to sense how you are trying to cook and config-
ure its alarm operation to prevent false food alarms. You can also leave a food
probe plugged in and not use it.

4. POWER DRAFT BLOWERS FANS
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 10 CFM Pit Viper fan is good for medium grills and smokers, including all
ceramic grills and bullet-style smokers. The 25 CFM Pit Bull fan is suited to offset
smokers and larger cabinet smokers; two fans can be used for large custom
built and trailer-based models.
All fans have an adjustable slide damper. This feature allows the user to make
fine adjustments on their own grill or smoker due to natural drafts that effects
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 tem-
peratures. Close it half way for smaller cookers or low and slow cooking. Close
three-quarters of the way for cold smoking. Close all the way to kill the fire.

control calculates everything for you. The factory default setting is off, so you
must enable this feature to use it. Note when using this feature, you may want
to start your pit temperature a little higher than normal to reduce cook time
and not overcook your food.
OPEN LID DETECT
This feature will allow recovery to the cooking temperature without overshoot
after you open the cooker’s lid. When open lid detect is set to off and you open
your pit’s lid, the temperature will drop. The inrush of oxygen can cause the
blower to over-fire the coals and cause overshoot when the lid is shut again.
When open lid detect mode is on, it detects when the pit’s lid has been opened
and minimizes the blower running during that time. Some overshoot will
always be present when your 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 ON, so
you must turn this OFF if you have problems with excess air currents in your pit.
When open lid detect is enabled during startup, the rate of temperature rise of
your pit will be limited to preventing over-firing. This will make a typical startup

8. PAIRING OTHER DEVICES TO THE CYBERQ CLOUD
IN HOTSPOT MODE
The most basic way to use the CyberQ Cloud’s features is by directly pairing it
with one or more Wi-Fi devices in hot-spot mode. While this method doesn’t
enable all the CyberQ Cloud’s features, direct connection can be useful. If you
are at a competition where there is no Wi-Fi or AC power, or if you are tailgating
or camping, for example, taking control with a portable device is handy. Nearly
any device with Wi-Fi capability and a Web browser will work.
If you had previously linked your CyberQ Cloud to another WiFi network in
Infrastruture mode, switch your device back to HotSpot mode. (To switch to
HotSpot mode, hold down the up and down arrows until you get the advanced
menu. Go to the WiFi settings, scroll down to“Load:”and change the setting to
HotSpot. Then unplug your control and plug it back in to restart it.)

1. Apply power to the CyberQ Cloud Wi-Fi. The following will be displayed:
2. On a smartphone or tablet, go to Settings > Wi-Fi. Make sure Wi-Fi is set to
on, then select “HS-MY_CYBERQ_####”
On a PC go to the at the lower right.
On a Mac this is the at the top.
Select the“HS-MY_CYBERQ_####”as the network. If prompted for a pass-
word, use the default password: 1234abcdef
3. Once connected, the CyberQ
Cloud Wi-Fi will display:
4. Open a browser window and type 192.168.101.10 to load the CyberQ Cloud
Wi-Fi Controller pages. From this browser window, you can monitor and control
your cook and make changes to the setup of the controller. Be sure to close any
applications that require internet access when using Hot-spot mode.
When a smartphone is paired to the CyberQ Cloud in hot-spot mode,
it cannot receive emails because it is not connected to the Internet. You can
either use another device to control the CyberQ Cloud, or periodically turn off
Wi-Fi to allow emails to be received. Texts and phone calls work normally, as
they use cellular transmission.
If you will be using a CyberQ Cloud in close proximity to others (at a BBQ com-
petition, for example) having several units with an identical SSID and password
will cause them to interfere with each other. This is easily avoided by going to
the Wi-Fi setup page and changing the SSID from“my CyberQ Cloud Wi-Fi” to
something more personal, such as “Bob’s BBQ Team”. In addition, you should
change the security key. In hot-spot mode, the CyberQ Cloud uses WEP40 secu-
rity, with a 10-character key made up of number characters and letters from A
to F (case is not important), such as 12345abcde.
9. CONNECTING YOUR CYBERQ CLOUD TO YOUR
WIFI NETWORK
Your CyberQ Cloud ships in what is called HotSpot mode. This will allow you to
connect to it with a Wi-Fi enabled device, like a laptop or smartphone.
Some of the best features of your CyberQ Cloud require you to connect it to the
