Looking at the BGE and want to see wheat I can spend more money on that might be worth it.
Anyone use a forced air system on a GBE??

Yes, although on a Kamado Joe. Found it useful when first learning how to control temperature, but hardly use it now - only on over night cooks.

I had the iQ110 from my WSM days, used it once and sold it, you really don't need it with a ceramic, it's pretty much set and forget, you can easily get a good 6 to 8 hours without touching anything

Yeah I have just grown used to overnight cooks on the WSM with huge chucks of beef or pork. I get that the BGE will hold the heat well but I would prefer to pay for a forced air system that maintains the heat through the night than on another Redichek that just wakes me to sort things out (these boyish good looks need their beauty sleep

If your heart it set on one look at the stoker, wifi control and expandable for multiple cookers and probes, not cheap but offers loads for BBQ geeks to keep the happy, hold the meat at a set temperature when it's cooked for example, plus hour by hour tweets on how your cook is going
