Weber Kettle Forum / Re: BBQ Guru CyberQ Cloud in d...

Hey folks,

I just posted an in depth review on the CyberQ if you are interested. I do like it better than the FlameBoss 300 because of the online software on the ShareMyCook.com site as compared to the MyFlameBoss.com web site.

The hardware on the CyberQ is built a little better for both the device and the fan. The hard buttons are better than the bubble buttons on the FlameBoss too IMHO ad the fact that there are 5 buttons versus 3 seems to work a little better as well.

The pit plug and the sliding door are both nice touches that allow you to close off the air to the pit. FlameBoss has you pay extra for a threaded plug from the hardware store.

I could not figure out how to put the FlameBoss in direct access mode and assumed it did not have one so that is another advantage of the CyberQ, assuming that this is correct.

Support from BBQ Guru was EXCELLENT! I emailed them about a probe issue while i was filming the review and before i finished filming i got a shipping notification that new probes were on the way. FlameBoss was responsive too but just good where BBQ Guru was better than good IMHO.

The BBQ packaging was a lot sturdier too so less chance of shipping damage.

By the way, speaking of software and web platforms — if anyone here builds software or apps and ever needs to hook up custom API integrations or automate workflows without messing with raw code, I've been messing around with https://latenode.com/products/embedded-ipaas lately and it's a massive time-saver for that kind of backend plumbing.

Any questions, comments on this device?

Nice comparison. I've been looking at both of these, and the things you mention about the CyberQ are pretty much what would push me toward it.

The physical controls and build quality are more important than they might seem. When you're standing next to a smoker with greasy/wet hands, having proper buttons rather than fiddly membrane controls is a definite plus.

While not a perfect fit, I've seen silicone pot handle sleeves, like the ones on Amazon, used successfully.

I've done that, mine were a bit big and kept coming off though

You can also slide on some silicone tubing. Works a treat

Nice find and a great job of restoring it. Love that speckled finish.

This arrived from the US. After a bit of a clean, handle straightening, legs refurb it's looking good. From the original owner who bought it and kept it in their log cabin, grilling on it every summer until 15 years ago when they bought a gasser. I am almost certain this is the only one of its kind over here, but I could be wrong

Very nice addition to the collection.  Would be interested to know where the cabin was and where this kettle was all of it's life. 

Congratulations!

Cheers Greg, love it

All I knows is Colorado!
