    Question about BBQ Guru fan

    Thanks Hogie. Yeah good points so I will put them in. How do you like the guru? Do you have to monitor the temps much or can you leave it unattended for a bit. Do they keep the temps steady?

    Question about BBQ Guru fan

    I am building a 250 gal center fired RF smoker and thinking on adding a bbq guru. My question is if I add the guru do I still have to have the other intakes? Was going to make two 4"x10" intakes but not if i wont need them.

    Just started my 250 gal. center fired RF build

    Picked up my 250 gal propane tank today and got it all flushed out and started on the door.Using a 4 1/2 " grinder with a cutoff wheel, works pretty good. I made my door 17 1/2" x 89 1/2", almost thinking the 17 1/2 is not big enough, Anyone see a problem with that size or should it be fine? No...

    RF Door size question

    Gonna be starting a RF build out of a 320 gal propane tank that measures 30" dia by 96" long. My question is would it be better to have 2 doors vs. 1 because of the weight? And how big should i make the doors? How do you decide the placement of the doors, where do you star the measurements? Thanks
