Just thought I would update and throw out some HUGE kudos to the folks at Rocks. Sent in my unit and they fixed it and sent it back within a couple weeks. It works like a charm! Great customer service that stands behind their product, even when the problems are boneheaded owners :) Thanks...

Thanks everyone! I heard back from Rocks as well and they confirm the good news. Here's what they said: "Send it in we should be able to get the juice flowing again. There is an over voltage diode to protect the circuit board from exactly that" I'll send it on in and hope they can...

Thought I would throw this one out to the masses in case anyone has experienced this before and knows if I can salvage the equipment. In a rush to set up my smoker on the weekend I accidentally plugged the wrong power supply into my Stoker - less than 1 year old...new Wifi version :( The...

Hi Stuart, Safeway in Calgary carries the MTQ - maybe have a look at Safeway in your neck of the woods. I have also been pretty successful finding cure at a local refigeration/food supply store that specializes in all things sausage. I've heard that many butcher shops will sell you cure if...

Hi Stuart, Fellow BBQ nut from Calgary here. I stumbled across this thread looking for sources of pink salt in Calgary to make some of my own bacon. Then I saw the picture above and quickly added some MSM to my list as well :) Any suggestions on where I can find that stuff (curing salt) in...

Hi Amir, Yup - I have Mcafee antivirus running. I thought the error sounded like two applications fighting over the same file, but didn;t have a clue where to begin looking. I can try disabling the AV program next time I run this and see what happens. Thanks!

Hi Amir, I've been messing around with the Stokerlog version 6.9RC (installed this morning). All in all it looks good, but I have been running into frequent hang-ups where I revceive the following error message. I can sometimes get Stokerlog to connect again by hitting the stop buttin and...

You can use the WSM in any kind of temperature. The trick is that you have to build an enclosure for the unit - Mainly to keep the wind out. I live in Alberta and I've used my WSM in the -20 F range in the middle of a blizzard no problem. I built a little shed for my WSM out of a sheet of...

Shawn - I'm interested in how you made the connection inside the unit. I saw you mention a nipple in your original post, but I'm not sure what excatly that looks like (I know, I know...there are a thousand jokes that you all could throw back at me for that one). I really like the looks of the...

The patient is in post-op right now. The exploratory surgery is complete. Patient was found to be missing an antenna. I would have thought that this would be an essential piece of equipment in a transmitter/receiver tandem - but hey...what do I know? All I had kicking around was some 24...

Very good thread folks! I too have been very disappointed with the performance of my Maverick ET-73 Probe (there I said it ). I caught this thread a few months ago and it peaked my interest, but I did not want to go into the guts of this thing and mess around until a few more folks had a kick...

Hi Colin, I had the same problem. I'm in Calgary and I had a heck of a time finding someone to ship up here. But I have my Maverick now! I ordered through Smarthome.com They ship to Canada via FedEx. I think it cost me about $85 Canadian for the unit by the time I payed the exchange and...

I also have the Maverick and have had similar issues. I BBQ on my back patio with the transmitter pointed directly at my sliding patio door - maybe 15 ft away. I can get reception from the cooker to the patio door on the outside, but as soon as I go inside (with the patio door closed) - nada...

Hey James, Where about in Canada are you? I'm in Calgary. I agree about the rub - I would leave it out for the first smoke. I did this recipe for the first time on Easter and I must say, it was ther best turkey I've ever had in my life. I used a mix of apple and cherry for this smoke and...
