Oh ya, doing it again. Can't beat this one.

The Home Depot weekly ad came out today and has the usual Memorial Day Kingsford sale: 2-pk 18.6lb for $9.88 5 days only 5/24-5/28 Limit 5

While it would be nice to have a 5G adapter option, I don't see a real need for it unless your wanting to shutdown 2.4G in your realm. The 2.4G Edimax adapter has worked great for me except for the hiccup with V14 driver. No complaints on range or connectivity, and speed is a non-issue. Very...

I use this probe, it works great. https://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=20_3&products_id=619

Sounds like too much fan for the little cooker. I have sucessfully run a PartyQ and several Heatermeters w/Micro Dampers on a WSM 14.5, they truly are set and forget. If I don't dial back the Micro Damper Fan a bit, I can get it to drop the temp by blowing too hard, especially when the ambient...

Here are a couple ideas:

A cherry and maple combo is smoked nirvana for a rotisserie bird.

This was without doubt, the best turkey I have ever ate. My guests agreed. Cooked for 20 people this year and again made both a 19lb traditional oven roasted bird and a 19lb Maple/Bourbon brined bird on the rotisserie. Used fist sized chunks of Cherry and Maple smoke wood for the grill...

Can't wait to start this recipe again. Will be spinning a 19 pounder and soaking it in Jack Daniels this year. Happy Daze!

You can use one of your other probes by DISABLING the thermocouple port. The next enabled port/probe will control the pit temp. This will get you by til your probe problems are resolved.

If I remember correctly, the probe temperature floated high/low in jagged rolling arcs. It tracked the actual temperature if you averaged it out, but continuously floated +/- 30 degrees. It did periodically stop and read correctly for short spells, but it was a long cook. Happened when cooking...

I have seen this exact behavior. The problem stayed with the probe when swapped. The Thermoworks probe was only a month old and had been used once before. They replaced it with no problems. New probe worked fine.

Why not use 22-awg cable instead of standard cat 5e 24-awg? They make 22-awg cat5e cable for long POE runs. You could also use 22-4 solid as used in standard alarm house wiring. 22-awg has twice the current carrying capacity of 24-awg and should definitely clear up any minor voltage drop issues.

"Do I need a kettle?" Why of course you do. Where else would you put your 304 stainless charcoal baskets, your Vortex, or the other half a dozen Weber gizmos you have or will have?

I used a 45 degree offset on mine. It's worked great with no heat issues.
