Just thought I'd post a quick update on progress. I've run four cooks with the setup now. For the first three, I used water in the pan and I never felt that the IQ was in control of the temps at all.

For cook 2 I filled the basket with ...

Just a line to say Hi. I'm living in Bolton which I don't think is the centre of the BBQ universe I'm new to BBQ but have managed a few semi decent cooks from my ProQ Frontier. Looking forward to learning and sharing with you lot.

All the best
