Seasoned with Salt, Pepper,Montreal Steak

Now we just wait the Guru is holding my set temp of 235*

Had a spike in temp from a breeze took a while to get the temp back down

Readjusted the damper and all was good.Took 11hrs to cook not bad

Yea that can happen but the Guru will just shut down & the temp will come down by itself.

I usually run mine with the little vent on the Guru closed half way.

That way it's very hard to get extra air in the smoker, unless the Guru turns the fan on.

You probably can keep it at 1/4 all the time with the 18.

On mine I never change it from 1/2.

It doesn't take much air to keep the fire stable.

After the initial stabilizing, if you notice it cycling on more than about 3 or 4 times each cycle then you would want to open it a little more.

Mine usually just comes on 1 or 2 times or sometimes it won't even come on at all for 5 or 10 minutes.

When it starts to run out of fuel it will be on all the time trying to keep the temp up.
