I use the "non-food" BBQ tongs (similar to the image below) that are relegated to handling charcoal. Specifically I use the handle end to hook the tab on the damper and adjust it as needed.

Everyone has said it already... Great looking cook!

Looks great! I'm sure it'll taste as good as it looks!

Yikes! I'm sure you can recover, but dang it if that wouldn't shake my confidence in the temp controller. Is it a billows issue or a signals issue (is that fan just being weird or is the thermometer giving false readings too)?

wait. . . you're supposed to clean these things? hahaha. . . in all seriousness, I keep my WSM and kettles covered or stored in the shed when not in use. My cleaning efforts, such that they are, are typically limited to the cooker interior and usually only consist of dumping ash, scraping...

Fantastic looking cook @Rich G! Makes my mouth water! Great job.

The wife and I just paid to share a tomahawk at a restaurant the other day that wasn't cooked as perfectly as this one. Great job @ChuckO!

I figured either a dog or a Searwood XL; nevermind this thread is posted in the gas grills & griddles section!

This is the kind of feedback I was looking for. I saw these at Costco (they were not on sale at the time) and got curious. May just have to pick myself up one (or two) for father's day... That is still a thing right? hahaha One question though... In what way do you prefer the TempSpike...

Sure you can Richard... by having three (3)! hahaha! To be fair though, I typically don't cook with more than 2 at a time. There are occasions though.

I continually find myself on the fence when it comes to rotisserie. I've always liked store-bought rotisserie food, and am genuinely intrigued by the concept and how well fellow TVWBB member cooks come out. But at the same time I worry that it is more gadgetry and complications that I have the...

Looks amazing!

Beautiful grill & good look cook too. Congrats on both.

I kind of agree. . . Knowing how unhappy he was with the Smokefire and how much he seems to like the Searwood definitely makes me more interested in the Searwood. That said, I'm not currently in a position to acquire one. Plus, since my very old Traeger used to belong to my late father-in-law...

Mighty good looking plate! Well done!

Looks tasty! Very intrigued by the rib pieces... Never would have thought to do that... not that I have a WSK or vortex to work with. hahaha

How big were there butts? Do you not use a water bowl (empty or otherwise)? I've cooked 4 butts at a time on my 18" WSM and have never seen this type of issue. Regardless, looks like you got everything figured out and was able to salvage the cook. Great work!

Aside from the (fully expected) complaints about the veggies and beans from my youngest everything went down well. And even with the complaints I think the kids ate at least half of the sides that were put on their plates. They have to at least try everything before getting more ribs, and...

This year for Smoke Day I had big plans... but laziness/business got the best of me and I ended up pulling 2 racks of spare ribs from the freezer for Memorial Day Dinner. Did a simple SPOG rub augmented with a little chili power, paprika, and a hot sauce binder. After a few hours on WSM...

Well I guess it's a good thing it's a 3 day weekend! Beef ribs Saturday, brisket Sunday, pork ribs Monday... problem solved!
