Beddie Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 This may be a silly question, but do the Guru, Polder and rotisserie holes let the heat escape? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisLinkletter Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Holes There are no silly questions and this is actually good question. The Guru faceplate comes filled with a soft plug that can easily be broken and removed when you purchase the BBQ Guru. It is then closed when not in use with the supplied by Guru high temp silacone plug. The polder tube comes from the factory with 2 plugs, the roticerie is not open it has a closed socket like fixture inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Air" escapin This may be a silly question' date=' but do the Guru, Polder and rotisserie holes let the heat escape?[/quote'] Heat escaping is NOT the problem here... My experience is that any openings aside from the upper damper will allow more air to flow through the cooker and therefore will contribute to the cooker getting HOTTER, not cooler! My OTB supreme did not ship with a plug for the polder hole... but I leave it open since I can keep the temperature low with it open (smoke does pour out of this hole).

rorkin Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 No poldor plugs on mine either but I don't know if it really has all that much effect on temp.. It could be easily plugged during use.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidS Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 No plugs with mine. I just use one made out of foil. Works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
