I have 18 lbs of pork butt on the smoker since last night. 11 hours into the cook so far!

I recently inherited a Digiq DX2. It seems simple enough but after I set the pit and food temperatures, the fan never kicked on. Does this suggest that the pit probe is bad? To make sure I could get my cook done, I pulled out an oldie but a goodie - anyone remember these? BTW, my fan works...

A neighbor with some health issues bought the meat from half a pig and asked if I could help him out cooking/smoking some of it. He showed up yesterday with a 19.2 lbs. bone-in pork leg roast. He said he would prefer to slice the meat (vs. shredding, pulled pork). I'm going to smoke it so it...

I used to use StokerX version 1.0.2 on my iMac but since upgrading the OS on the iMac, it stopped working. I have set up a Mac Mini running macOS Sierra, but I don't have a clean version of StokerX version 1.0.2 to use on it. The version of the app I have has my old Prowl Authentication tied...

I purchased a dry rub from a local grocery store that I really like. I'm hoping to create something similar and was hoping that this group could guide me with typical ratios for rubs. The ingredients in order are: Brown sugar Flake salt Ground ancho chili Pepper (not sure what this would be...

It looks like the Stoker Systems are no longer being sold - which is too bad, as it is a great ATCS. They will continue to support existing customers with probes, blowers and adapters. From their website... "We have discontinued selling Stoker Systems. Due to high cost of manufacturing it is...

I have always used a weber chimney for lighting coals but have just stopped delivery of our newspaper as we generally read enough news online. I am looking at other ways to light my charcoal without a supply of newspaper. I have an electric loop somewhere but dragging out an extension cord has...

I love brining chicken in buttermilk but it burns so easily on the grill. Has anyone put chicken brined in buttermilk on the smoker to cook and the finish it off on the grill for a crispy but not burned skin? If so, temps and time? I have two fryer chickens cut up and brining now...

In the near future I'm going to have to cook baby backs in one location on a smoker, drive 1.5 hours with them and finish them on a gas grill. I was thinking 3 hours on the smoker at 275, foiling them and putting them in a cooler and then... How do people recommend I finish them? Open to other...

I did a search but couldn't find anything that exactly fits my issue. To start this is a BBQ Galore Turbo STS that a friend gave to me. It is approximately 3 years old and he had BBQ Galore rebuild it last year so the burners and ceramic rocks look brand new. The issue is that it works well with...

Does anyone have a Stoker temperature probe (meat or fire probe) with a damaged wire that they would be interested in selling? I'm looking for one to "experiment" with the 1-wire technology. If so, send me an e-mail at the address posted in my profile. Thanks!

When I setup the Stoker to be used with my smoker and Amir's logging application, I need to bring out the Stoker, my wireless ethernet adapter, a power strip, an extension cord, the blower and various temperature probes. When I do overnight smokes I'm always paranoid about dew settling on the...

I was thinking about picking up a second fire temperature sensor for my Stoker and wondering if anyone has the high temperature sensor version that he sells. I'm thinking that the metal jacket on the wire might be a good thing in case I ever leave the lid off the smoker and forget to put it...
