Thanks Ron. I always keep the top vent open 100%. I followed the instructions closely as far as how much charcoal and so on, but I think I am going to go back to the Minion Method as I can get those temps easily. I think I can make the wood burn like they mention, but this is ALWAYS an experiment

Ron, I did follow the directions for starting the charcoal and had the vents closed. This is the step I am questioning as I did get it up to temp but then it kept falling and I never got it over 220. Even at the end when all vents were wide open.

I did the BRITU for the first time today. I had problems using their method on the WSM for lighting all of the charcoal and as a result, I could not keep or get the temp high enough. Anyone have similar problems, or did you just use the Minion Method anyway?

I have a 10yo genesis and still use it for quick things. We have a Q220 in the RV too. Gas has its place along side my 4 charcoal burners...

Yup, I got one of those auto cleaners too! I just toss them on the grass and they are clean in no time at all.

Hi all, I am at my moms house and she is at 6700 feet and I live at sea level. We grilled T-bone steaks last night and they were very dry, especially for being medium to meduim rare. I would expect well done to be this dry. Does high altitude affect this? If so, how can I adjust for this? I am...

I met Shaun just south of san Jose Saturday morning before we headed south on 101 to Riverside. Shaun is more of a gentleman in person than he is on this board! Here we both are standing behind my RV, me leaning on the SJP Shaun and I traded my unused WSM middle section. My WSM is secured for...

Morrey, Thanks for the update. I was planning on doing a butt or two on Sunday but packing got in the way. My next chance will be the 16th for my sons 14th birthday down in So Cal. I will try and update then. I need a Guru...

Morrey, Mine cam the other day but I have not had time to test it out. Been busy working and packing the RV. I may do a butt Saturday night for an overnight smoke as I work swing shaft over the weekend.

Well, Maverick emailed me back that they shipped me a new one out, so I guess something was wrong with my old one. I should have it by next week, in plenty of time to do a smoke before our trip. I am having withdrawals, so I picked up some ribs on sale at Albertson's... I am going to try the 2...

Thanks Tony. I probably will not be ready to purchase until next Spring, so I have plenty of time to decide what router I go. Who knows, maybe a third option will be available by then...

Stoker also has the ability to monitor more than 2 pits. If I decide I actually like Comps, I may want 4 WSM's some day. If I was only going to use this on one pit, I would get the Guru unit as it is a few bucks cheaper and does what I would want.

I may have to install some sprinklers next spring...

Thanks for the update Morrey! I got a reply again and Maverick said they will rush mine back to me and try and get them to me before our trip. They have been very helpful so far.

Morrey, Now that you mention it, my spike problems only started after I installed the grommets. Before that I was running them through the vent holes on the lid. Anyway, I just wrapped it up and will drop it off at the post office on my way to work. Sent Priority Mail Flat rate, they should...

Morrey, I got a reply to my email already. They want me to ship my unit to them. I am going to do so, but timing is bad as we leave for vacation and I was planning on taking my WSM with us... I may just order a second unit. I am also using the guru gromets on my WSM. But I do not have the...

I love automation myself! I am a recovering X-10 junkie... I use to control just about everything from my PC. My wife rebelled and made me remove all modules and wall switches. Now I have this new hobby of slow cook BBQ! That said, I think I am going to go with a Stoker instead of the Guru just...

There was an unknown number on my caller ID the other day, but no message was left. I have no idea if it was Maverick or not. But on your good luck Morrey, I just sent an email to them. I am keeping my fingers crossed!

I have not yet heard back from Maverick. I left voice-mail Monday. I will call them again.

The boiling water test showed the same 1 degree difference. I let it boil for at least 5 minutes with no change. I left voice-mail with Maverick for a call back.
