BBQ Guru Monolith Ceramic Grill with WiFi CyberQ Temperature Control - Most Hi-Tech Charcoal Grill

I dreamed of owning this grill but convinced myself that it was just too expensive. Reviews of this grill were great, almost too good to be true and affordable because of all the extras that comes with the grill. I am so happy that I have made this investment. Right out of the box, I was able to successfully grill a roast. Great!!!! Would buy again any day. Thanks BBQ GURU

Got sick after my purchase. I did not open the box until almost a year later. Found the top was shattered and I was not sure if it came that way or damaged by me. BBQ Guru replaced it No Charge. Awesome Company... Awesome Grill... Highly Recommended!! Best Flavors I have ever had from a Grill and I Grill Year round!

Beautiful product when matched side by side with other grills. Cannot be beat.

The Monolith BBQ Guru Edition is elegant and functionally well designed, built of high quality materials. For BBQ, I found that the Monolith is, in many respects, superior in performance to my offset smokers. Offset smokers can lose significant amounts of heat due to a lack of insulation, which causes heating inefficiency and therefore difficulty in regulating the cooking temperature. Maintaining a consistent temperature in an offset smoker during a lengthy cook is generally a tedious effort. The Monolith blows this problem out of the water. The design and construction of the Monolith is inherently a highly efficient insulated cooking chamber in which the temperature can be easily controlled making the Monolith capable of producing very reliable and consistent results with remarkable ease. To aid in providing this capability, the Monolith system includes the CyberQ Cloud device and BBQ Guru Temperature Control Fan, which are indispensable features. The CyberQ is a sophisticated temperature control and monitoring device and when combined with the temperature control fan these features support achieving exceptional cooking results, especially under low and slow conditions. The CyberQ is easy to setup and operate by reference to either the included quick-start instructions or the more detailed instructions available online. As the temperature fluctuates, the CyberQ turns on and off the fan to regulate the air supply to the burning coals and in-turn raises and lowers the temperature of the fire. The temperature control is very accurate and can be adjusted and monitored during the cook remotely via connection to any Wi-Fi enabled device. The CyberQ can be connected via a Wi-Fi network or directly via the CyberQ Hotspot (when no Wi-Fi network is available). The initial cook was a BBQ brisket flat that was brined and rubbed. The brisket was smoked at 225 degrees for about 5 hours to a final internal temperature of 202 degrees. The system maintained a consistent 225 degree temperature throughout the cook without any dramatic deviations, this would be otherwise difficult to achieve without the aid of the CyberQ and the temperature control fan. The Monolith system made this very enjoyable cooking experience and produced a tender and moist finished brisket. During the cook and while logged-in to the ‘ShareMyCook’ web site the CyberQ the cooking parameters can be remotely controlled and monitored. The web site provides a useful temperature graph that plots both the cooking and food probe(s) temperatures over the entire cooking period. The next cook will be 16 pounds of Boston Butt - can’t wait.

To start, great packaging. Freight company delivered it INTO my garage. I’ve been looking at “egg” type grill/smokers for more than 5 years, but finally decided on this one. Why? Because first of all, the quality & everything is included. Most of the others I looked at, BGE especially, everything is an additional cost. This Kamado includes the pizza stone, second layer rack, deflector stone, etc. I like the charcoal basket that comes with a divider. Plus the Monolith has a wood chip box that allows you to add extra wood to the fire during a long cook without taking everything apart. It’s fairly pricey, but when you consider the BBQ Guru controller (which you would want to add to any other option out there, probably $400 by itself) it’s really a great value. I use the BBQ Guru controllers on my other smokers, and they are top notch. This smoker will last a lifetime. Assembly time was less than an hour (i did it myself, but would recommend, as they do, 2 people because it’s solid). First cook was using it as a grill, steak turned out great. Second cook is going to be ribs, later today, so I get to check out the controller with the WiFi. Love it.
