Hey Bob, Thanks for having a look. The only things I was concerned about was the amount of charcoal used in the recipe, and the amount of wood. Didn't know if it would translate well over to the 22.5" WSM or not. Only cooked on my WSM once so far. :D

I've had a PartyQ for a year or so now. I've noticed with mine that it can really start to act flaky when the batteries start to lose power, even before the "Low Batt" indicator is on. If you haven't yet, try another set of known good fresh batteries. Worth a shot at least until BBQGuru...
