Most of the time when the temp got out of my desired zone it was too high and I'm not sure a guru would have helped. Bottom line, I think controlling it manually is better.

Agreed, the long cook is the challenge and the Guru does assist with keeping the pit in the 250-275. I will most likely omit on short cooks going forward.
