Pit Viper smart blower for kamado Monolith bbq-guru

Description

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

It is waterproof and high temperature resistant and includes an easier to use damping 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 adapter and with BBQ Guru DynaQ and UltraQ temperature controls.

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 or by purchasing this for your Monolith kamado that is not a 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.
  
  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.

What smart temperature control can I choose to combine with the blower and turn my Kamado into GURU?

Features Monolith Dyna Q vs Ultra Q

FOOD PROBE

High quality digital thermocouple for food temperature. It is inserted into your food and measures the internal temperature.

OPEN LID DETECTION FUNCTION

Detects if you open the grill lid, causing large temperature fluctuations. This smart feature helps compensate for this, avoiding unwanted temperature spikes.

RAMP MODE

When enabled, this mode identifies when your food is approaching the desired “food ready” temperature and turns off the fan, helping to prevent food from overcooking.

RING OF LIGHT

DynaQ and UltraQ are equipped with a patent-pending state-of-the-art ring light feedback system. The ring changes color depending on the temperature of the barbecue and will flash to show fan activity or flash for warnings.

SCREEN SCANNING

The “Q-Tail” on the UltraQ's status light ring employs an innovative screen scanning function. The Q-Tail will illuminate in one of four colors, one at a time, and display the temperature of each digital temperature probe.

BLUETOOTH APP

Bluetooth App DynaQ and UltraQ connect to the BBQ Guru app on your phone via Bluetooth, so you can monitor and control your cook right from your pocket.

WI-FI AND SHAREMYCOOK CONNECTIVITY

The UltraQ can connect via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. With Guru's companion website ShareMyCook.com, you can graph your cooks and recipes and then share them online with friends, family, and fans.

VOICE CONTROL

With an Amazon Alexa-enabled device, you can control and monitor your controller with just the sound of your voice.

SMART COOKING

Smart Cooking Choose the ideal SMART COOK setting and the variable fan flow will automatically adjust and customize based on grill size and type.

VERSATILE 5 IN 1 GURU MOUNT

Configure your controller in five different ways with the versatile Guru mount. Now you can place your DynaQ or UltraQ on virtually any surface, or even nail it into wood or concrete, giving you maximum accessibility to your temperature controller.
