Great! I like the smoke ring you got and the meat is cooked to perfection. (We are working on 52 and 1/2. You can make it there too!)

I plan to have a local sheet metal shop make an extension ring to fit into the rim of my 22.5" OTG that will be 9-10" tall. The purpose is to make an oven for wood smoked pizza. I will have them cut an arc in the ring for a door. My plan is to make the arc with a chord of about 17" which will...

Drilling a hole in the Weber kettle is not difficult; however, you MUST avoid chipping the porcelain. Here's what I did. First, I used a spring loaded punch to make a small starter hole. This punch came from Harbor Freight and was not at all expensive. It has countless other uses. Second, I...

For those of you who have the iGrill, can you tell me the maximum temperature for which the probes and cables are rated?

I like that Husky toolbox. Looks a lot better than the Plano tackle box I was considering. Now to see if I can snag one . . . As for storing my remote thermo's right now, I have a cast off kitchen plastic container that the Finance Department gifted me with. I have several different...

Howdy, John! I looked for such a unit about 6 months ago before I bought a Maverick. Wish now that I had waited. If you don't mind my asking, did the unit you bought come with 2 probes or did you have to buy the second one separately? Also, can the probes be used interchangeably or are they...

I was wondering if anyone has tried to smoke cheese on their mini-WSM. Of course, one would not use any heat source of any size; so using chunks of wood for smoke would probably be out of the question. I have the SJS with only the one set of lower air vents to use for control, but I could use...

Got handles from Brian in today's mail. They are awesome! Look him up in the member directory. The email addy there works. (don't want to trigger a lot of spam for him or I'd put it in the post.)

If you've been hesitating to order some, take it from me that you will be thrilled with the product. Mine came today and they knocked by socks off. Can't wait to get them on the OTG and the SJS. Thank you, Brian! You da man!!!

Isopropyl alcohol is very inexpensive. I keep several bottles near the grill and smoker because I use a soda can stove to light my briquettes. Just squirt enough on a paper towel to wet it and wipe down your probes. If alcohol doesn't kill it, you probably ain't gonna get it done with...

Just sent an email to address shown with your Profile.

I'm getting much better results with the 12" terra cotta filled with water and less charcoal - certainly less lit to start. I'm going to use it this evening with a 10" saucer with water because I want to see if it will get a little hotter without running away on me. Yes! I can snuff it by...

Howdy, Anthony! Congratulations on finding the SJ and the tamale pot in the GWN! Here is a link to the charcoal basket I fashioned for my set up. The diameter is roughly that of the charcoal grate. I put unlit around the perimeter and lit in the middle in a modified Minion approach. I...

Add my "Thank you!" too, Chris! Well done!

For the record, I have done the modified Minion method with my charcoal basket (same diameter as the charcoal grate) crammed with unlit and only 7-8 lit in the middle, but without the 12" saucer and water, temps shot past 300* and climbed over 400*. I honestly cannot tell whether the water was...

Thank you, Greg! The 12" saucer covered in foil and filled with water did the trick. I cut back on charcoal by about 50%, too. Temp - measured with my ET-73 - reached about 205* and stalled so I added about 10 briquettes. Temps came up to about 220* and have stayed there consistently for...

Howdy Greg! I use a metal pie plate wrapped in foil. I have a 12" ceramic flower pot saucer. Thanks for reminding me. I'll use it on my next smoke to see if it makes a difference. If I might ask, how long do you let your coals burn down before starting your smoke?

Has anyone done a post (if so, I can't find it) on techniques for controlling temp in a Smoker Joe? I posted my build (SJS and Imusa) in the mega-thread but thought that this would be the best place to post my question about controlling temps. I'm having trouble keeping temps at smoking level...

How does one contact Brian? We don't have PMs here; so I went to the member list and found his name and email address, but I've had no response. I'd like to buy a handle for my SJS and handles for my OTG.

I'm not Greg, but I bought 3 extra cooking grates for my Smokey Joe/tamale pot smoker. At first, I just placed them on short bolts through the pot walls. After using a stack of 3 and finding it difficult to take them out, I bought some eye bolts and used fender washers to attach them with the...
