Daughter is bringing THE boyfrind over for the first time and the advertised menu is spares.

There I am, cleaning/setting up the WSM and I manage to separate the Guru's pit probe from the wire. (#@*!%**!!!) Oh, well, back to the old ways of doing things.

Started the fire, (Minion w/ 1 chimney, 2 chunks of pecan) one vent 100%, (down wind vent, pretty windy, and my WSM is not one of the tighter ones) and stabilized it at 220, with one vent at 10%. Excellent!

Ran my version of the 3-2-1, a 5-1-1. I pushed the temp up to 230-240 to finish.

After all these years of trying, the ribs were cooked perfectly, clean bones, not falling off of the bone.

I am going to have to try this again!
 
Sounds like you use the Guru all the time. I use the Guru as an adverse weather condition go to tool otherwise my WSMs are naked.

I swear the WSM works better without the Guru than with.
 
I've been saying that you don't need a Guru with a WSM - at a comp, in adverse weather, I sure can see it - but in my backyard in fair to nice weather - well thats why I don't have one

Nice going Vernon.

You definitely do not need and auto temp device on a WSM. BUT - I love my Guru. Especially for cold weather or for long cooks and as mentioned above "time management" when I can just hang around the WSM and drink beer during a cook (not that there's anything wrong with that
