And with folks dumping old microwaves all the time, you probably will never
face the "if necessary" part of the equation. Heck, you could even stock up
ahead of time. Sort of like having an extra shear pin on hand for the
snowblower or tiller.

th my Kamado. Also, you
can fine tune the amount of airlow with the fan damper, which is a small
sliding door that can close off the vent. It is useful when you want to kill
a fire after cooking.

How long should I be able to leave the WSM with a BBQ Guru unattended?

With the Kamado, I have easily gone 18 hours. With the WSM, using the minion
method of fuel stacking, you should get 9 to 12 hours. Of course, it may
take a bit of practice to determine what works best.

Thanks,

Glad to help.


I don't even use the Minon method, just light the lump with a mapp torch
and let the Guru bring it up to temp. -RP

Right on. It'll quickly start a handful of lump and then you're good to go.

My comment about the Bradley depends on something I'm not certain of,
wrt the WSM. It's my impression that one can grill on the WSM by
removing the center section (as with most bullets). If that's right,
it's something that I'd consider a serious plus for the WSM vs the
Bradley.
