Guru and Spicewine.

[Mo-Dave]

Has anyone put a Guru on a Spicewine? If so do you think it was worth the additional investment? Have not orderd a Guru yet but thinking about it.

I want to put a stoker on my smoker... it can be added onto very easily, with dual fans, and multiple food probes, and also be hooked up to my wireless connection at home so I can sleep until an alarm sounds. It would be nice... and at comps, I can run an ethernet line from the unit to a tent/cot and get some sleep, too.

I have a Guru on my Bandera and it works great. Because the Bandera leaks like a sive and has no insulation, it took some tweaking to get the Guru doing what it needs to do. Because the Spicewine is so well constructed, the Guru would be a great add-on. You would need to customize the plate that attaches the fan to the smoker and drill a hole for the temp probes.

I like the Guru because it's pretty simple to operate. If I was more technically minded ( you computer geeks know who you are), I would explore the Stoker, but at this point I'd rather focus on the Q, not the pit controller.

We used a Guru on our Double Walled KingFisher... worked like a champ.

We'll be testing out the stoker this season. I've already got the wifi router to hook up to it... so I can check temps from my pocket pc by the margarita machine. I could boost the heck out of it... and really get some distance!!!:twisted:

We just had our annual Cal. BBQ Assn. get together last weekend. The guy who invented the Stoker and his partner who wrote the software for it did a demo on a Stumps gravity feed for us. It was quite impressive. He can monitor several cookers at the same time with just one unit. I don't know enough about the Guru to say how the two compare, but he seemed to have overcome some of the issues people have with the Guru.

Here is a pic of the stoker from Qfest:

Looks like that poor smoker had a heart attack and is hooked up to a bunch of monitors. Get Well Soon!

So true! But while trolling the links on a particular site, I noticed a drum smoker with a Guru attatched to it, must be a heavy sleeper!
