Barbequing Low & Slow
The Caldera Del Fuego Tallboy fitted with a
BBQ Guru temperature control is a slow cooking
miracle. Load the firebox with charcoal, set the
desired temperature and cook for hours; the BBQ
Guru assures that the temperature remains
absolutely stable at your setting. Overnight cooks
are a breeze; no pit tending is required.
The Tallboy’s shelves are exactly the size of a
steam table tray 13 X 22”, so that either of them
will fit on any of the 17 levels of the cooker.
Combining shelves and trays lets you set up your
cooker in an almost infinite number of possibilities.
• Place a cooking rack over a steam table tray.
The tray becomes a drip pan.
• Place a steam table tray on a rack for support
when cooking beans, rice, casseroles or just
keeping food warm.
• Place a steam table tray upside down over
meat on a cooking rack to tent the food.
The generous shelves will accommodate a full set
of ribs, or a large brisket with no trimming
necessary. Disposable aluminum half and full trays
offer further possibilities for cooking and holding
any food item.
The Tallboy is designed so that smoke is allowed to escape around the lid and the door. A
conventional 3” stack pipe can be installed to allow the cooker to be used in a walled tent, BBQ
trailer etc.
When burning charcoal, not much air is needed to produce and maintain the necessary heat for
cooking. Good charcoal burns like embers, without much smoke.
When burning wood, it is necessary to provide more air to avoid creosote deposition. The smoke
damper should be substantially open to carry away the smoke and gasses. Even dry and seasoned
wood will give off creosote when it smolders. Using too small a damper opening can over-smoke
and impart an unpleasant taste. Only a small quantity of smoke wood is needed for flavor.
