Thanks for posting, I got 18 WSM off Craigs List and been looking at the Guru's. BTW that's a really nice shot of the countryside.

When you order your Guru, be sure to upgrade to the 10CFM fan. Well worth it

The 10cfm fan is the recommended fan kit for all WSM's. I ordered the kit and it came with the controller, WSM adapter and the 10cfm fan all in one. I'm doing a hot & fast with a 4 pound chuck roast right now and it's holding great at 350 even though it's very windy and 68 degrees.

I just thought I'd give my unprofessional experiences with a fascinating product. I've got a lot to do on weekends (maintenance around the farm) but also love barbecue. That's why I got rid of my Klose a couple years ago and bought my Traeger which I absolutely love. However, the WSM gives a "different" taste to the Q and I have more versatility with the type of wood smoke with the WSM as all pellets with the Traeger seem to taste the same. The only problem with the WSM is you still can't leave it alone for many hours like the Traeger. The Guru has freed me up like the Traeger has and I can now enjoy the stronger smoke taste the WSM gives.

Fresh off the WSM. The fatty was made with Jimmy Deans Mild Country stuffed with sauted onions, mushrooms and sharp cheddar cheese then wrapped in bacon. Pulled the roast at 137 and the fatty at 170. The chuck roast took 1 hour 40 minutes and the fatty took less than an hour at 350 degrees.

Thanks for the report!
My only less than stellar Guru cook was a hot & fast on my 22" WSM and I was using a whole 22lb bag of Kingsford with the Cajun Bandit expanded charcoal ring. In hindsight, and talking to Bob Trudnak and the BBQ Guru rep at the Evergreen Eggfest (forgot his name, but he cooks with Dizzy Pig) I have realized the errors in MY ways and they were not the fault of the DigiQ or the 10CFM fan, which performed admirably as it has with my Large BGE's and 18" WSM's! I just had too much compacted briqs and ash and too much of a heat sink in my dry waterpan. I am confident that the next cook on the big bullet will be as easy as any other. Great product and customer service!
