Yes, the top vent. 1/4 by 20. Thanks

What size is the hole for the vent retainer. I want to remove my vent, but not before I have a new screw in hand.

Indirrect, charcoal split on two sides, 2 5# birds. After two minor adjustments, this combo held 430 rock steady for 1.5 hours.

Thanks for posting that link, made a hard copy! That's on my BBQ Bucket List!

Mine will be in house Wednesday, can't wait.

Just wait! You do 3 or 4 in about the same time, then one will go 20 hours!

Any PID controller (I know the Auber does, I own two of them) can be tuned to their use. This would prevent the swings you talk about. PROBLEM, tuning for a rack of ribs would be different than 4 10# butts. SO pick a normal load and tune. Auber wil also provide custom setting depending on...

Liquid Smoke is great for BOILING RIBS! (and NO, I don't!)

Dab the pink area with a white, clean napkin. If it comes up clear, it's done. If it comes up with any red or pink, under cooked.

Sweet Find!

Ok, with smoe left over coals, and a chimley started and full of hot coals. Dumped and gave it 15 minutes. Side of my kettle peaked at 420F.

While every one is liking their wonds, did any one shoot the base with an IR Gun!

Ok, thanks all. I know it get hot. Guess I will stick to 1200F paint.

How hot does a kettle base or top get?
