mguerra Posted December 5, 2010 Report Posted December 5, 2010 Re: BBQ.About.com, Ultimate Grills, Best of the Best list And if you want to use a Stoker, does Rock's now have an adapter to fit in that Guru sized port?

Should the guru fan go in to the installed tube easily? I just bought one and have to really twist it to get it slightly inserted. I made sure all of the plug material was gone and even sprayed a little cooking spray on the fan insert but it's still really tight.
TheNakedWhiz Posted January 2, 2012 Report Posted January 2, 2012 Re: BBQ.About.com, Ultimate Grills, Best of the Best list Mine goes in a little too easily, FWIW....

The stainless tube is milled to the specs given to us by BBQ Guru.. I'll write them and confirm nothing has changed. I'm guessing your rubber gasket will compress and get smaller with age.

Syzygies Posted January 3, 2012 Report Posted January 3, 2012 Re: BBQ.About.com, Ultimate Grills, Best of the Best list I actually had an intermediate Guru, and gave it to a friend so I could buy the most basic model, which basically puts an oven temperature dial on your cooker. I generally have a plan in advance, and no desire or time to fret. Call me an old-timer...

Can we order one of the spring-loaded plugs w/ the teak handle for our existing KKs?

Thanks Dennis! I did notice an adaptor http://www.thebbqguru.com/products/Komodo-Kamado-Adaptor.html on their site. Not sure if that's applicable to my model or not (one of the sweet custom Kingsford OTBs made early last year). I also look forward to ordering one of those new plugs soon too!
mcsmoke Posted January 9, 2012 Report Posted January 9, 2012 Re: BBQ.About.com, Ultimate Grills, Best of the Best list Can't wait to take delivery of my new KK. In the mean time I will use my other grill in the top ten the TEC. The old RJ Kamado is hanging in there but not sure how many more heat cycles she can endure.
