    Would this thermometer work?

    I have an extra dome thermometer from a 22" Performer Platinum and was wondering if this would work in the center section of my 18.5 WSM to monitor grate temperature? The stem is about 1.5".I have the step bit to drill a hole from when I added the grommet recently. If not I plan on getting...

    Advice on first kettle purchase

    Now that I am completely addicted to my 18.5 WSM,I feel it is time to add a kettle. Have always had a gasser and have my eye on a 22.5 OTG in Copper.My question is it worth the extra $ to go from silver to gold? Does the ash catcher work well or affect performance ? I like that the gold has a...

    Charcoal chute/Ash scoop

    Reposting photo of my charcoal chute idea and thought I would add my take on an ash scoop.The plastic conforms to the shape of the charcoal bowl nicely and scrapes it clean with minimal effort.You can also use it to cover your wireless thermometer setup during inclement weather after a quick...

    Brisket or Butt on top?

    Getting ready to smoke an 11.5 lb whole brisket and a boston butt of the same weight (before trimming) with my 18.5. Does it matter which piece is on the top/bottom grate as far as drippings go?

    Need thermometer help

    I am considering getting a digital thermometer to monitor meat/grate temps. After much research on this site and others it appears that the Maverick ET 732 is the way to go.However,it seems durability of the probes is an issue,and after reading reviews people either love it or hate it. I have an...

    Hello all. Wife volunteered me to smoke a turkey for her family this year. It will not be the primary bird as there will be a 28 lb oven roasted and possibly a deep fried.
