I ran mine in 10* weather and it ran like a champ. Woke up the next morning to dump out the ashes and burnt my finger.
And how cold does it get in Tucson anyway?
Hey Deebo, mind sharing how the guru hooks up to the PBC? I saw on their site they recommended the universal weber connector, but a previous post by seasalted mentioned an XL Grill Dome Adapter.
I have one of the newer PBCs and have had issues with temps as well. Thinking the CyberQ really makes things easy and doesn't completely tarnish the PBC concept. Still hanging meat over coals... just with a little more O2 control?

Here's how it sits in PBC. The top is secured by the same screw used to secure the intake cover and the bottom sits in a seam that is created from the construction of the PBC. The adapter is the Weber (Universal) adapter and it fits as perfect as possible. You'll notice the staining on the sides of the adapter. A little bit of smoke does leak out from the sides. I'm sure it's not enough to affect the cook but I'm a stickler for little things like that so I'll be adding a high-temp resistant weather seal to the edge of the intake so seal it against the adapter. Let me know if you have any other questions.
I drilled two holes, one bottom left and one bottom right to secure the bottom of the adapter. Then, two small nuts and bolts. It prevents leaks and prevents the adapter from bending when you insert the PartyQ.
Drill the adapter at 3 and 9 o'clock, close to the PBC hole, and use fender washers on the outside to pull the adapter tight.I don't know if I've gotten to the point mentally where I'm ready to drill into my PBC. LOL! I may have to attempt a couple drill-less solutions first.
