I just got a new Stoker and had to assign all the blowers/probes, etc. Once setup you almost never have to do this again but I can easily see how that happened to you if your were significantly changing your setup. Glad you got the save!

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...

This is the recipe I used for 2 fryer chickens cut up. Just remember to wipe the brine off the chicken before grilling. I let the chicken sit overnight before grilling. 1 quart buttermilk 1/2 cup chopped shallots 2 tablespoons chopped garlic 2 tablespoons kosher salt 2 tablespoons sugar 1...

I ended up wiping down the chicken and cooking it indirectly as Marc suggested. When the buttermilk dried a bit I switched over to low direct heat. Browned nicely without burning.

The buttermilk tenderizes the chicken. I add shallows, garlic, pepper and salt. Great taste but need to wipe it down before grilling and sugar in buttermilk burns easily.

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...

Looks great! I see you created your webpage via a Mac. Can you tell us which program you used to create this? Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestions!

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 use a drip pan but not the charcoal baskets. That way you can your charcoal can be spread out a bit more. Also to minimize the fat burning I put some liquid in my drip pan ahead of time.

FYI, just because you stop service on a smartphone doesn't mean you can't use it for monitoring or control. The smartphone will still be capable of browsing using your wifi connection. Also a lot of people focus on an internet enabled controller being able to be controller from a phone or PC but...

That is amazing! What did you use to remove the rust and how "rust free" did you get the pieces before seasoning again? I have a cast iron grill griddle that I have tried to clean up but it isn't anywhere a nice as those turned out...

Hopefully I can add a little insight. A long time ago I was hired to design a new toaster oven. The first thing I did was go out and buy the most popular models and measure how they work. I found these large temperature swings across the board. I figured these companies used cheap...

While your temperature is even the fan is on a lot. Perhaps close your top vent more? I only keep mine open about an 1/8". I find the most interesting graphs when you track the meat temp.

UPDATE - I sent an email to Rock and quickly got a response. It turns out the antenna inside the device wasn't connected. I popped it open, connected the antenna and I now have great range! Original Post - What type of WiFi range are people getting with their WiFi Stoker? My smoker is...

Well, I upgraded my Stoker to enable WiFi and then downloaded StokerX on my Mac for the first time today. I did a test run and everything worked perfectly. Unfortunately I wasn't cooking anything but that will be fixed shortly. Joe, thanks for the amazing program!

Hello! I upgraded my Stoker successfully using a laptop running XP and a spare router. My home network is an Apple Time Capsule and my home computers are iMacs. I was able to connect my upgraded Stoker to my Apple network via ethernet, access the <IP Address>/wifi.html page and setup the...

I would encourage you to do a cook or two without an automatic temperature controller first. It is good to know how to arrange the fuel, get it started and where the top and bottom vents should be for a steady temperature. It is a lot easier to make the smoker hotter than cooler so you want to...

Download the Stoker Wifi manual. It looks like once they enable Wifi you will be able to enter in your SSID and password. The current units are shipping with Wifi disabled (to be enabled with an update in the near future). Until then I believe you need to connect the stoker to your network...
