What does BBQ GURU's DynaQ temperature control include?
INCLUDES:
- Bluetooth usable and configurable only through the app.
- 1 probe for the barbecue grill
- 1 food probe
- Setting mode to select barbecue temperature
- LED frame with blue or red color representation of the state.
- 5-in-1 support to place it where it best suits your needs.
- 12-volt rechargeable battery with 17 hours of operation and charger.
NOT INCLUDED:
- It does not include the Guru spiral cable that connects the fan built into the Guru edition Kamado barbecues with the intelligent temperature controller since this system also works for the Monolith kamado that are not Guru and that in the Pro 2.0 Series come with the input pre-installed to convert them to GURU by purchasing the blower that has the cable incorporated into the fan itself. If your kamado is Guru Edition, you can purchase it below.
In collaboration with our American partner BBQ Guru, we have created the most advanced Monolith barbecue on the market in which tradition and innovation come together.
The GURU intelligent complete system consists of:
- A smart fan, which comes by default in the GURU edition.
In all models of the Pro Series 2.0 that are not GURU edition, it can be purchased separately since they now all come with a pre-installed adapter for the fan.
- And, in addition, you can choose an intelligent temperature control device with a sensor that is available in different versions: DynaQ. and UltraQ.
The Kamado barbecue does not include but requires, to convert it to the GURU version, the temperature control system to operate together with the fan. If you already have your GURU edition kamado barbecue, this model is ideal and if not, we recommend that you study the different controls and choose the one that best suits your needs.
Combined operation: BBQ Guru fan + BBQ Guru smart controller
The BBQ Guru smart controller has a temperature sensor placed on the grill grate that monitors the temperature of the cooking space and then the digital control unit (BBQ Guru) regulates the temperature control. temperature.
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 you do not purchase it at the moment and therefore there will be no BBQ Guru control device connected, you can simply regulate the oxygen flow manually by opening the draft.
Manual control works very well even without electronic assistance, as long as the ambient temperature (e.g. overnight) 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 brain 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 you run errands, You work, you are in the office, with your family, watching a movie... that is, it gives you complete freedom. And this is where it makes the difference and is really worth it since it is capable of operating on autopilot for more than 24 hours with approximately 2.5 - 3 kg of charcoal.

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”, with the idea that the food is not overcooked.
This function gradually reduces the cooking space temperature to the set center 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 temperature of the cooking space slightly above the core temperature as long as charcoal (fuel) is available.
OPEN LID
This function allows the set temperature to be restored quickly after opening the lid. If “Lid Open” is set to (oLY) in the menu, lid open detection is enabled. When the lid is opened, the temperature is reduced. This sudden cooling can cause the fan to “force” the combustion of charcoal (fuel) and exceed the desired cooking temperature after closing the lid. This mode detects if the oven lid is open and minimizes fan operation during this time.
The temperature always increases if the cooking space lid is opened and closed frequently, even if the fan is turned off. In the factory setting, “Lid Open” mode is always activated. Disable this feature 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.
THE BEST FRIEND OF YOUR BARBECUE
Barbecuing well is knowing the right combination of time and temperature.
Uneven temperature fluctuations in the barbecue cause food to dry out or burn, so you must monitor the grill at all times and adjust the air supply again and again.
With BBQ Guru DynaQ, these problems disappear forever. The controller monitors and controls the temperature of the embers in real time, so you are well informed at all times.
Plus, you can measure the core temperature of your barbecue food to take it off the grill at the perfect time. Because only you are the owner of your own barbecue, so don't leave anything to chance.
THE RING OF LIGHT
Intuitive and ultra-modern design: the luminous Q status ring.
Although it is still something very new on the market, the Status Q ring light is already an absolute change in the barbecue field. At a glance, you are informed about the status of your food and DynaQ activities. so you can focus and see all the information quickly at crucial moments.
BLUE OUTER RING:
- The temperature of the coals is not yet at the desired level. The blue light indicates that the grill is still in the preheating phase.
RED OUTER RING WITH PULSE/FLASH INDICATORS:
- When the outer ring turns red and flashes on the sides, the DynaQ or UltraQ runs its variable flow fan to precisely maintain the temperature. In case something unexpected happens, the Status Q ring light will help you
immediately when flashing completely.
