CyberQ Wifi (via thebbqguru)
Having a BBQ is a lot of fun, but there is a lot of pressure on the chef. The entire gathering depends on the person manning the grill, and if they overcook or under-grill the burgers that could very well dampen the evening. The company BBQ Guru is providing relief to all those unsure or beginner grillers that hold so much responsibility and also providing expert grillers with an invaluable tool that can only help them grill even better.
This device, called the CyberQ, has a wireless ad-hoc network which includes a built in server that relays real time notification of temperatures and offers remote control of the pit via its own Wi-Fi. To use, you simply connect to this Wi-Fi signal using your iOS or Android device. Then you type in your CyberQ’s IP address into the URL bar of your browser to access all the information being collected by the CyberQ as well as set pit temperatures.
The system comes with temperature probes that tell you the temperature inside the pit as well as inside three pieces of food. Since it has a server, it can alert you via email or text when the food is ready. The CyberQ is capable of regulating the fuel flow of gas stoves and also uses blowers to regulate temperatures in the charcoal pits.
The device comes with many features like a low and slow ramp down that assures no meat ever over cooks and open lid notification that minimize temperature disturbance to name just two. The list of extensive features is available on the BBQ Guru website.
This cyber assistant is powered via 100-200 V wall output or with 12 VDC from your car. The CyberQ can be yours for $295, which may seem steep but surely makes up in enjoyment of new recipes, good food and people at BBQ’s for endless summers to come.
