OK, once I got home and tried again it worked. Undoubtedly user error so I will chalk it up to working too much. Thanks for the help. Once I got the cook going it went well until sometime in the middle of the night it spiked 2 times. They were quick spikes up to 266. is that a common one...

Yes, I used just the numbers. no http:. Is there something else I need to do when I open stokerlog to get it to connect?

I got the error when I tried to refresh the data from the stoker. It said "Can't Open Stoker web interface"

OK, this may be a dumb question: does the stoker log require access to the internet? Here is why I ask. I do not have a wireless bridge. In order to atleast be able to monitor from inside, I set up an old router(Dlink that can't be flashed with new firmware) and plugged the stoker into it...

I had been on the hunt for a used stoker. However, my lovely wife surprised me today with a brand new one! I am very excited to get the WSMs stoked. Looks like I may be breaking it in on thursday night to make some Q for tailgating saturday.

I like oak as well. My favorite oak is the old Jack Daniels Barrels that have been cut into chips -excellent. I find pecan to be a good "inbetween" of oak and hickory. Also, Thomas, just moved from Richmond. Good to know on buz. You are right they are the best in Richmond (but they don't...

Thanks for the replies. I have the Maverick remote but after reading everyone talk about being able to set it and forget it I love the idea.

I have been slapping around the idea of getting an ATC. It seems that it would remove some of my anxiety during the cook ( i am always checking temps and wondering if they are correct etc). Also, truth be told I love gadgets and toys. The thought of controlling the temp from a computer is...

not sure where to ask this but here seems like a good spot. Will the weber thermos for the new wsm be available from Weber? I just got WSM # 2 and want to start doing some mods. I want to add a thermo but thought the weber one might be cool to add

I have the same question. The superwalmart near me is the only place I can find whole briskets.

Excellent tip Pat! I tried it last night and it worked like a charm.

FWIW, when I used a Foreman, I found that the best way to clean it was to use the leftover heat to my advantage. I would fold up 3 or 4 wet paper towels and set them on the grill once my food came off. Close the lid and it steams the gunk right off. I use this method to clean the electric...

I have the cuisinart (I think it was $40). I love it. Its great for carving turkey and has a bread knife too which makes short work of french bread. Alton Brown uses one so I figure its OK

Tony, good stuff as always. About the CG, how does that hold temps compared to the WSM? Does it require much tending?

Great article! Its funny, my parents live in Durham and get the N&O. We all went to the lake house this past weekend and I brought the WSM so I could make ribs for the fam. When I got there my mom told me I had to read the article she brought me about smoking. I wasn't expecting much from the...

As my dad would say "the price is right". Worst case scenario is that it sucks and you are out...well nothing. I will say though I bought a wireless probe thermo on special that was made by Oregon scientific and it quit after 2 uses. Maybe that was why it was on special. However, I use a...

did i miss the weight on the cabela wood?

thanks and yes the hitch haul is basically a shelf that goes into the hitch receiver. I like your idea and will prob end up doing that since time is kind of limited these days. I would however like to make something at some point so that taking the smoker with me places is easier.

Has anyone found a good way to transport their WSM? I am going to my family's lake house for the 4th and really want to take my WSM so I can smoke some stuff for the family. I was thinking of trying to craft something that would protect and hold the smoker together if I put it on its side on a...

I may not be the smartest guy around (ok fine i know I'm not), but what is the purpose of the magnets in this?
