I find the Maverick ET-73 thermometer to help a lot with over night smokes as it has both high and low temp alarms which you can set for the smoke chamber. If you use a water pan, get the larger Brinkmann Charcoal Pan which will not run out during the night thus preventing a temperature spike...

I am in the school of foiling butts once they reach 160, so if the charcoal starts to run out, I simply put the foiled butts in an oven until they reach 195 or so. Don't think the butts know the difference and it sure makes the last part very easy. Once you have foiled them, you aren't...

That should produce some great smoked pot roast. I haven't done it myself, but the pictures I saw had some onions and carrots in the crock pot too. Looked really tender and even had a nice smoke ring. Let us know how it turns out.

I would consider just pepper and kosher salt as the rub. Let the smoke be the spice. Many famous BBQ joints in Texas just use a pepper and salt rub on their beef. Don't know what sauce meets Kosher standards, but if you do want to serve one, serve it on the side.

Another idea is to buy a package of Wick Fowler's 2-Alarm Chili Mix -- Each ingredient comes in individual packets. You can just eliminate the cumin packet. I find this mix to be pretty authentic, but their recommended amounts to add to make chili way too strong, so beware. Seeing the...

The ET-73 has two probes from the transmitter -- one for the meat and the other for the grill temperature. I like this ability. From what I understand, The NU-701 has only one, but you can buy multiple one-probe transmitters which gets expensive and cumbersome. Also, the high and low temp as...

Ahhhh, that could explain it. The Brinkmann is pretty large. Thanks

I did a Google search regarding grilling at high altitude and came up with a Weber Beef Grilling Guide which talks about differences with high altitudes http://www.weber.com/bbq/pub/recipe/grilling101/guide/grilling/beef.aspx I bet if you call Weber's help line they would give you some good...

I have both a Brinkmann offset Snp Pro, and a WSM and must say that I am surprised that you have found the WSM to use more fuel. I have had the opposite experience with the WSM using less than half the amount of fuel for a long cook? I wonder why we differ so much on this?

With the price of 4 racks of spares these days, you are a braver man than I using "mystery wood" Hope it turns out great. Good luck.

They need a few marketing suggestions

Their 800 number is 1-800-443-6450 Could give them a call I suppose.

Onion and garlic sounds like a great way to get some more moisture in the foil at the same time you get great aroma. Gonna try that next time. The balsamic-honey glaze sure sounds interesting too. Thanks for the report and keep us up to date on the progress. I'm not smoking tonight, so this...

Looks like you have to drill a rather large hole. They say "Mount fits 1/2"-7/8" hole" Seems to me better suited for other smokers. They make the eyelets for the WSM which work great with the Maverick ET-73 remote thermometer.

I too made these to rave reviews -- even from my wife who came prepared to NOT like them 'cause they weren't the normal pinto beans she is used to. Also had to give the recipe to the company, darn it, so they can see it wasn't my magic. Now I have this urge to try the recipe with dried...

You didn't say whether you used lump or briquettes. I find that Kingsford briquettes produce much more ash than good lump. I use a good quality lump and have very little ash after a 6-8 hours. I believe others report the same results.

I got a chance to shoot this before she got ready. http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w147/HeSmellsLikeSmoke/MaverickMount.jpg Works like a charm, but not my idea. I got if from another board.
