Larry Wolfe said:Man O' Man, I thought I was very pessimistic about the Guru! Geez! I knocked the Guru more than anybody, but after more research and listening to Freds podcast. I believe it will work and it will work well. Keep in mind, if you load the firebox up with logs you are only lighting a portion of the pile, not the entire load at once. The Guru will then light and burn what's necessary, when necessary. So a 12 hour burn could be an overly optimistic burn time, I just don't know until Fred replies to my e-mail. But if I could go 3-4-5 hours without adding a log or monitoring the pit, that would satisfy me.
One point I'd like to make and I'm saying this because I'm the guiltiest of all. If you have never tried a product and don't know anything about a product, (performance, effectiveness, burn time etc.) you shouldn't comment on it in a negative manner. (ie., "It's just not going to happpen for 12 hours"). How do you know?
Listen i burn wood in my offset,do you?I cooked with wood in the boyscouts,I know how wood burns,i tried many a time to extend my burn time,now i'm adding small sticks within every 1/2 hour,i know if i just load up with wood and burn for long periods,which i have, the food will be unedible.
Now if your looking for something to double the burn time it's just not going to happen.
