Today I am doing a small brisket on the WSM.
Question I have is I bought an older bbq guru, model 0504 to be exact, from a member here. The first cook i did I ended up removing the fan because I didnt like it. This time I gave it a second try. After two hours of a solid 240 degrees the WSM dropped to 210.
First question, why didnt the fan kick in? I actually had the fan set between 225-250. When I turned the knob to 250 the fan turned on.
Second, when I opened the WSM door all the coals and wood that was opposite the guru fan were not burned. The outer ring of coals opposite the fan never caught.
Can you use the minion method using a guru? Should I do something else?
So I guess that's three questions.
After a second temp probe in the smoker, it looks like the guru is off by almost 50 degrees. is there a way to fix that?
