dpuryear, I also sold my ABS Pit Boss Rotisserie for this smoker. I hope you can get a good price for yours. Great smoker, just eats a lot of charcoal/wood per smoke. This is much more efficient.

Second cook. Smoking a Boston Butt and a brisket flat.
The 25 CFM Pit Bull fan is Soooo! much better. Really moves a lot more air.

Guru Question
I've been smoking a long time but am a newbie to the BBQ Guru, having only used it 3 times.
I notice that early in the cook the Guru pit temp is significantly higher than the Tel Tru temp - 20 to 25 degrees on the Lone Star Grillz. After everything equilibrates, they are within a few degrees of each other - this takes a couple of hours. Of course the Guru locks on if the pit temp is within 5 degrees of your setting. I guess they don't want you diddling with it too much. If you set it at 235, it will show 235 if the actual pit temp is between 230 and 240. I'm not sure why the temps are far apart at first. Do you guys experience the same thing and do you have an explanation?

Also, placing the guru probe within close proximity to food will influence it's reading as heat circulation can be influenced by crowding and food temps... |

Ya I am using the the 25cfm fan, and it's crazy fast (i am used to 10cfm on my wsm). It stoked the fire to 225 in an hour. I had to close vents a little to keep temps down. I managed to bring temps back down to 225 from 245, it's holding at 225 for the last hour. The guru is amazing, and this smoker is awesome. I can't wait to cook a meat orgy in it Last edited by darkoozy; 04-26-2014 at 04:15 PM.. |

I have an 11.75 lb butt in mine right now and have a 7.5 brisket flat ready for about 9:30 PM. I have 4 rack of ribs for early in the AM tomorrow.
Do you guys pull off the membrane on the bottom or do you just let them go with the membrane on?

Membrane off, ribs rubbed, and sitting in then fridge to rest.
Light rain and windy outside right now. But the smoker is sitting at 225! Ribs will go on about 8:30 AM.

My cook today wasn't the best. My temp ran up until I added water. Any tips running dry to get 235 to 250. I was getting 280 with a stoker and valve almost closed, and exhaust 1/4th open.
