Automatic damper controls and monitors

[Bluegrass BBQ]

Has any one had any experience using any of these? There is a web site
called BBQ garu which sells these. My main concern is when you have a smoldering fire will it give my meat a foul flavor. It sure would help on a large cook to not have to check the fire every 30 minutes. Once I get the smoker up to temp it takes a very small fire to keep it going.

By the way Summersville, WV has a Summersville Lake. Some great class five white water rafting. Not for me I can't drink all that water.

I have seen them in action. They do work well for WSMs and Big Green Eggs. I have not seen them in action on offset smokers. They are pricy.

The guru is a fan system adding air to control temp. Real popular for tight and small smokers like 101 said but the concept works for larger smokers if the guru is large enough.
