Guru question

MEGAHUNT · 06-05-2013, 10:08 PM

All, I have built a 6ft rf smoker with a 30" x 18" firebox. I want to add a guru type control. What would be best? Thanks for your help!

BBQ Guru's Digi-Q with the big fan.

Yeah I don't think the standard fan is going to be enough for that, I would recommend the larger fan (25 cfm) and the DigiQ DX2.

Can't help with a suggestion but let us know what you decide and how it works on a couple of cooks. I would really like to know how one would work on a RF stickburner.

From experience with my stick burner save your money. The 10 cfm just isn't big enough. Also you can't control the burn rate of wood like you can with briquettes or lump. I don't want you to be disappointed.

I ran a lang 84 on a stoker 25 cfm worked great.

I would call the folks at Guru and discuss it with them - they have been very helpful to me with my Tucker Cooker.

Thanks, I will give them a call and see what they say. I will advise once all is done. Thanks to all!
