What is the Open Lid feature?

Modified on Mon, 8 May, 2023 at 3:31 PM

This feature allows for quick to your desired cooking temperature point after the lid or door is opened. When the lid or door is opened the BBQ Guru control will detect the sudden, large fluctuation in temperature and hold off on continuing to cycle the fan until the temperature begin to stabilize again. This will result in a faster recovery time and minimal temperature disruption so your food will cook more evenly and taste better, while still getting done on time.


It is normal for the temperature to slightly overshoot when the door or lid is opened and closed, even when the fan is off, as oxygen will still be introduced to the fire.
