Thank ya'll for your replies.

Is a BBQ controller necessary for low slow cooks, I was think maybe the monitor would be nice but not sure the fan is necessary As far as MFG what seems to be the preferred model, BBQ Guru has a high percentage of poor review on Amazon, Flame Boss has fewer poor reviews Thanks

Anybody try Hasty Bake Lump

Thanks again all ya'll, as for color Yellow Goldwings are the fastest, wrong forum I really like the Cobalt Blue Pebbles, as for the grout vs tiles could go either way concerning the coefficient of thermal transfer depending on the grade of the grout, amount of Al vs s SI, etc. But it is an interesting conversation concerning the delta of the heat transfer between the too, especially with the more exposed grout. Would be an interesting test. Maybe Dennis will pony up 2 units and i can arrange the necessary equipment to monitor it over the course of time. Might be wishful thinking though. Haven't pulled trigger yet but pretty sue will be the big bad 3

Thanks to all ya'll for your responses, as I live in Tornado Alley the aerodynamics of the tiles are definitely of importance and I had not previously considered that Tryus, that was probably the best explanation of why the pebbles cost more and makes that cost seem low considering the extra labor to create the pebbles, hopefully Dennis wont catch on to that. Also seems you may be prone to hyperboli when recalling the details of your travel. I think it boils down to liking the look of the pebbles better for us

Is there any durability difference between the tiles and pebbles. Is there a difference in maintenance Thanks
