    A Rookie’s Look at the Maverick ET-733 Redi-Check Thermometer

    With a few cooks under my belt on the top rack of the 18.5” WSM, I quickly realized that I was going to need/want a wireless thermometer to monitor the meat and grill temps. I had previously purchased a ChefAlarm from ThermoWorks. With an upcoming cook (yesterday) of two large pork butts on...

    WSM 18.5 First Light... EVER!

    (I have pictures, but am not allowed to post them.:)) I'm an avid, amateur astronomer. In astronomy forums when we "Light" a new scope, a "First Light" report is expected. So, I figured I'd better do the same with my new WSM 18.5 smoker. I am about the biggest rookie ever to come along and...
