There are many more settings that are customizable or able to be turned on or off in the Controller Settings in
the menu. The user manual is also located in the BBQ Guru application menu.
When the device first connects to Bluetooth, it will prompt you to name your control. The name can later be
changed in this section. From here, you can also turn off the LEDs. Touch the Apply Changes button at the
bottom to apply any new settings.
From the application’s menu, there are advanced options for the DynaQ. The control can be disconnected and
updated. Follow the prompts in the application to complete these tasks.

Building a Proper Fire
The fire built in the pit is critical for good control, especially at low cooking temperatures. Stack the charcoal
inside the pit to be shaped like a pyramid, small at the top and large at the bottom. Light the fire by igniting a
few coals at the top. Do not overlight the charcoal or light it at the bottom as this may cause the pit to overfire
during startup.
Normally, the DynaQ will be able to adjust the fan airflow accordingly to deliver precise control so no damper
adjustment will be required. If the pit has become overfired or if the fire was built too big, large temperature
swings of ±10°F or more may occur. To eliminate this, restrict the airflow by adjusting the fan damper. Close
the damper to half the current setting and the pit should stabilize within 10-15 minutes after adjustment.
If there is fuel left over from the cook, save this fuel by closing off any open dampers, removing the fan, and
plugging the fan adaptor opening with the kill plug (included with the purchase of an adaptor). This will put the
fire out in approximately 30-45 minutes. Failure to not close off the cooker may allow it to heat up, potentially
damaging the fan or other equipment.

I want to use the DynaQ, but my Bluetooth-enabled device is lost/broken/unavailable.
Upon powering your control, it will automatically begin to regulate temperature based on the last settings that
were set. You can use the settings from your previous cook or reset to factory default by holding down the
button on the left side for 4 seconds. When the control reboots, it will automatically start controlling using the
default pit temperature of 250°. Use a thermometer to ensure your food has reached its proper internal
temperature before consuming.
The BBQ Guru mobile application won’t open on my device.
