    ~~~~Guess I better order the 6' probes...every time I use the stock 3' maverick probe wires, I wish there was extra wire length...I'm not sure why Maverick would send these thermometers out with the short wires, as I'm sure others have the same gripe I've yet to look into which position the...

    Jake's New Gasser, Broil King Baron 4 Burner

    I guess it's time to update this thread...first of all, I'd like to thank everyone for the tips on storing gas (LP), or should I say, not storing gas in an attached garage, as this is the type of garage we have, and I would have kept the gas under the grill, in the garage, and I can see that...

    I decided to try smoking a slab of ribs with the ribs cut individually first before smoking. FWIW, I initially cut the slab up St. Louie style, then decided to cut the rest of it up and smoke it, for the dogs. Waste not want not, and remember...if you're not hungry, your dogs probably are...

    ~~~Thanks Dustin, I'll do a dry run with the probe and grill cold, before I start my fire, and you're right, I use the Maverick ET-732, and it has a short probe wire. Does anyone make this size of probe fitting longer than what the stock Maverick probe wires are?...I could use more length here...

    One thing you can do to crisp the skin of the bird when smoking them in any of the WSM's is after the birds are smoked to your desired doneness (I put a food probe in the breast and go to 160 degrees), remove the center section of the smoker, then place the grill directly over the coals in the...
