Greetings, As you may have seen in other threads on this forum, i have created a series of YouTube videos that describe setting up and operating the Stoker in various configurations. I hope to get 1 more in (accessing it over the internet). Anyway, here are the videos: HowTo Calibrate...

While I was at Harpoon I got to talk to Fred and Bob about their new products. Specifically about the new pit they got coming called the Onyx which looks like a Fatboy but is much more lightweight. Fred whipped out the latest replacement for the "pitminder" which is called the Guru Nano. It's...

I was in Lake Placid last weekend competing in the I Love BBQ Championships (managed to get 9th overall) The stoker ran my main pit and I did ribs on the WSM with a Guru competitor. The Guru told me the pit was running at 225 but I thought it was running hot so a placed a thermo along side the...

*** Updated with final info *** This is a real cheap auto drafting circuit that uses a Polder replacement probe to control a DC motor (CPU fan or Guru blower) that mounts onto the front of your smoker and controls airflow to the fire. It’s meant to be used with another thermometer, perhaps your...

I was unaware of these devices and how cheap they are. ($35): http://auberins.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1 Seems to me that you could use the universal model to toggle a DC blower on/off instead of switching on a heating element. For $40 and the cost of a fan you'd have a pitminder. rob

Looks like Kingsford developed a briquette that burns as hot as lump: http://newsblaze.com/story/2009010706280200002.mwir/topstory.html When I get some I'll chart it but I haven't seen any around here yet. I'm in Vermont. rob
