I have a BBQ Guru but I've never tried to go that low.

Maybe try a test run with a pan of water. If it doesn't go to 180, turn off the guru and adjust the settings manually

You can use both racks or hang the bellies.

I like to cold smoke bacon and smoked sausage for a few hour before I raise to finishing temperatures. But to each his/her own method...

Thanks!!

Try Restaurant Depot, or local slaughter houses.
