Pit Viper BBQ Guru blower

Pit Viper BBQ Guru Blower.

Introducing the new, updated and completely redesigned Pit Viper Fan Blower, a 10 CFM (cubic feet per minute) blower.

It is waterproof and high temperature resistant and includes an easier to use dampening system with precise adjustment capabilities, allowing you to create the perfect temperature and maximize fuel efficiency.

Compatible with all Kamado Monolith Pro Series 2.0 barbecues with pre-installed adapters and BBQ Guru DynaQ and UltraQ temperature controls.

In collaboration with our US partner BBQ Guru, we have created the most advanced Monolith barbecue on the market where tradition meets innovation.

The complete GURU smart system consists of:

- A smart fan, which comes as standard with the GURU edition or by purchasing this for your non-GURU edition Monolith kamado.

- On all non-GURU edition Pro Series 2.0 models, this can be purchased separately as they now all come with a pre-installed fan adapter.

- And, in addition, you can choose an intelligent temperature control device with sensor which is available in different versions: DynaQ and UltraQ.

- The Kamado barbecue does not include, but requires to convert it into a GURU version, the temperature control system to work together with the fan.

Combined operation: BBQ Guru fan + BBQ Guru smart controller:

- The BBQ Guru smart controller, has a temperature sensor that placed on the grill grate, is the one that monitors the temperature of the cooking space and then, the digital control unit (BBQ Guru), is the one that regulates the temperature control.

- If the temperature of the cooking space drops, the fan blows air (oxygen) into the combustion chamber and causes the charcoal to generate higher temperatures. Once the target temperature has been reached, the fan only blows air in batches so that it maintains the target temperature previously set on the BBQ Guru smart device.

- The device is available in 2 different versions but if at the moment you do not purchase it and therefore there will be no BBQ Guru control device connected, you can simply regulate the oxygen flow manually by opening the flue. The manual control works very well even without the electronic assistance, as long as the ambient temperature (e.g. during the night) does not change significantly. This means that once the draft has been adjusted, the temperature remains constant for many hours.

- The main difference is that with the brains of the system (the BBQ Guru control), once connected to the fan, it will give you remote access to your cooking session and once you are connected, you can adjust the temperature and receive alerts while running errands, working, in the office, with the family, watching a movie... in other words, it gives you complete freedom. And this is where it makes the difference and is really worthwhile as it is capable of running on autopilot for more than 24 hours with approximately 2.5 - 3 kg of charcoal.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND CYBERCLOUD:

- With the UltraQ device, synchronise your Monolith with the cloud and with the complementary functions of the ShareMyCook.com website. Join our online community; create and share recipes with other barbecue and cooking enthusiasts, see how other experts use the kamado, upload photos of your best dishes, and meet and encourage others to share your love of cooking.

TEMPERATURE INCREASE MODE:

- This function allows you to reduce the temperature of the cooking space before the core temperature of the food is reached. If the temperature ramp mode is set to (rAY), it is activated at a low temperature (approximately 110°C). This mode is used for "long cooking", so that the food is not overcooked.

- This function gradually reduces the temperature of the cooking space to the set core temperature of the food as soon as the difference between the temperatures detected by the cooking space sensor and the core temperature sensor is approximately 10 °C. The control unit maintains the cooking space temperature slightly above the core temperature as long as charcoal (fuel) is available.

LID OPEN:

- This function allows the set temperature to be quickly reset after opening the lid. If the "Lid open" option is set to (oLY) in the menu, the lid open detection is activated. When the lid is opened, the temperature is reduced. This sudden cooling may cause the fan to "force" the charcoal (fuel) combustion and the desired cooking temperature is exceeded after the lid is closed. This mode detects if the oven lid is open and minimises the fan operation during this time.

- The temperature is always increased if the lid of the cooking space is opened and closed frequently, even if the fan is switched off. In the factory setting, the "Lid open" mode is always activated. Deactivate this function if you have problems with excessive airflow. In order to avoid false alarms, when this mode is activated, no alarm sounds when the temperature is reduced and the lid is open.
