Digital Temp Controllers for Gravity Fed Smokers

Digital Temp Controllers for Gravity Fed Smokers

A digital temperature controller for a Gravity Fed smoker helps manage airflow to the fire while monitoring pit temperature throughout the cook. DDR BBQ Supply’s current collection includes 20 products from BBQ Guru and FireBoard, including complete controller-and-fan kits, standalone controllers, blowers, probes, adapters, battery packs, and mounting accessories.

These systems are especially useful for brisket, pork shoulder, ribs, and other longer smoking sessions where steady airflow and consistent pit temperature matter. The controller monitors the smoker and adjusts a compatible fan as needed, reducing the amount of manual vent adjustment required during the cook.

BBQ Guru DigiQ DX3 for Straightforward Temperature Control

The BBQ Guru DigiQ DX3 & Full Fan Kit for Gravity Fed Smokers combines a digital controller with the components needed to manage airflow on a compatible smoker.

The DigiQ DX3 monitors pit temperature and automatically adjusts its fan to help keep the smoker near the selected cooking temperature. DDR BBQ Supply currently offers the full kit with a 1.5-inch adapter configuration for compatible Gravity Fed smokers.

The collection also includes supporting BBQ Guru components such as:

• Pit Bull 25 CFM fan
• Pit Viper 10 CFM fan
• 6-foot replacement probes
• 1.5-inch fan-system adapter
• Rechargeable 12V battery pack
• DigiQ DX3 replacement controller when available

A controller-only listing does not include the fan, probes, adapter, or power components, so check exactly what is included before replacing part of an existing setup.

BBQ Guru UltraQ for Wi-Fi & App-Based Monitoring

For cooks who want wireless monitoring, the BBQ Guru UltraQ Full Fan Kit adds Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and app-based control to a compatible Gravity Fed smoker setup.

The UltraQ is a better fit when you want to monitor the smoker from a phone rather than relying only on the controller display at the cooker. It still works by monitoring pit temperature and adjusting fan-driven airflow, but adds remote connectivity and additional monitoring features.

DDR BBQ Supply also lists the UltraQ controller separately for owners who already have compatible BBQ Guru fan, probe, and adapter components.

FireBoard 2 Drive & FireBoard 2 Pro

DDR BBQ Supply also carries FireBoard controllers for cooks who want multi-probe monitoring, wireless connectivity, cook logging, and integrated fan control.

The FireBoard 2 Drive includes six probe channels, built-in Drive technology, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, cloud cook tracking, and three included probes. It can directly control a compatible FireBoard blower without requiring a separate Drive cable.

The FireBoard 2 Pro uses three Type K thermocouple channels and is designed for cooks who need a wider temperature range. DDR BBQ Supply lists it for Gravity Fed smokers and offsets, with readings up to 1200°F and integrated Drive fan control.

FireBoard Blowers, Probes & Adapters

A controller needs the correct fan and smoker connection to manage airflow effectively.

The current collection includes the FireBoard Drive Blower G3, a 20 CFM variable-speed fan designed to work with FireBoard 2 Drive and FireBoard 2 Pro controllers. The controller adjusts blower speed automatically as the smoker approaches or moves away from the target temperature.

Additional FireBoard accessories currently include:

• Five-probe packs
• Competition Series short probes
• Silicone probe pouches
• Blower nozzle adapter
• G3 ball-valve adapter
• 10,000 mAh rechargeable battery pack
• Reducing fittings and smoker adapters
• Magnetic controller base when available

Check Smoker Compatibility Before Ordering

Not every Gravity Fed smoker uses the same fan opening, valve, adapter, or fitting.

Before ordering a controller system, confirm:

• Smoker brand and model
• Fan opening or ball-valve size
• Required adapter or reducer
• Controller and fan compatibility
• Number and type of probes needed
• Whether you need a full kit or only replacement components
• Available electrical or battery power at the smoker

DDR BBQ Supply specifically positions these systems for Gravity Fed smokers including compatible Myron Mixon and Old Country setups, but fitment should still be verified for the exact smoker before ordering.

A digital controller does not replace good fire setup, fuel management, or proper smoker operation, but it can make airflow and temperature management more consistent throughout long smoking sessions.
