BBQ Guru love letters

I did try to use the BBQ Guru this weekend and I have to say the results were fantastic. The Guru came through on the first try in very difficult conditions (windy, a hard rain, and an outside temperature drop of at least 20 degrees over the 4-hour cooking period and all on a leaky weber grill). Like a nervous parent, I would check the guage only to find the Guru keeping the temperature steady. The results were babyback ribs that were moist and smoky. Quite simply, the best I ever made. I can't wait to try to do more.

I finally did my first cook on my new #7 "K"Good golly miss molly - can this thing cook. I fired up the Kamado and set the pit temperature for 225 deg. Man, did you catch that, I set the temperature. Talk about set it and forget it. I installed the BBQguru temperature controller on my rig and bingo, your "what's the fire doing worry days are over". Then I put a 6 pound boston butt with a dry rub on the rack with a heat deflector and drip pan underneath. 13 hours later I'm shedding the greatest pork butt I've every had. Tender, moist, falling off of the bone. Ok, so it was midnight when I was having that pork sandwich, but it was good. I'll need to work my timing.I can't rave enough about the temperature controller gizmo, for a low and slow bbq rookie like me this gadget levels the playing field with all the old timers.


BBQ Guru - Won't cook without it. This little commercial quality device gives you absolute control cooker temperatures. The draft door is super quality, seals well, and it allows you to take the BBQ Guru off the Kamado and use a piece of foil with a small slit to control the air if you want. You can see how big the hole is which for some of us is easier then judging how open the draft door is. It is very accurate. When I want 200 degrees at the grill I put the grill probe on the grill and set the dial to 200 degrees. As long as there is charcoal in the firebox the Kamado will stay at 200 degrees. And if you want to bump it up to 250 degrees all you have to do is turn the dial to 250 and walk away. When you turn it down it shuts off the air until the temp hit your goal. How simple can it be? The fire won’t go out because when the temp drops below set point the fan turns on and keeps the fire burning until all the charcoal is gone.Think about this: You want a beef roast ready when you get home from work. In the morning you put in the meat probe and set it to you desired internal meat temp. You then put the grill probe on the grill and set the cooker temp. When the meat internal gets close to the setting the BBQ Guru brings the cooker temp down to the meat internal temp and holds it until you get home.I now sleep at night and my Kamado’s cook all night - and they do it perfectly.
