For indirect on the OTG, I move both baskets over to one side and fill both. If you're doing both parts of reverse sear on the OTG, I'm pretty sure that you don't want a charcoal basket under the indirect side.

Thanks for the ideas. I think I may mark my OTG for the reasons that Tim mentions. It's a pretty small range of motion to go from 100% open to 100% closed, and I can't see the vents when making the adjustments.

I do something similar to that when I do a reverse sear. I'll set one of my wsm's at around 225F for the first part of the cook and time it so that I have a good hot searing zone on my OTG when they're ready for searing. GrillGrates also help with searing and give me those cool criss-crossed...

I'm a fan of a foiled flower pot base too. Plus, I agree with the windbreak idea if it's going to be windy. Fluctuating winds make it hard to hold a steady temp.

The pics look good! Sorry it didn't turn out like you wanted. It looks and sounds like you're getting pretty close. I've screwed up more than my fair share of briskets as part of my learning curve too. I got a practice brisket today to smoke over the weekend. Hopefully we'll both get...

So THAT'S what that is. I like it! I got a practice brisket today to smoke this weekend. I think I'm going to borrow your garlic spiking idea.

It worked great. I screwed up and didn't get the lid seated well, so I overshot the 250 target. I made a quick trip home to see why it was running hot, fixed that, set it at 275, and it was holding 275 by the time I got back to the office. Before leaving the office for a 4:00PM appointment, I...

I figured out that the issue with the fan and adapter was definitely user error. I had the damper completely closed ... yeah, reading the instructions might've been a good idea after all. Anyway, I got into infrastructure mode, did the port forwarding, started a test burn (with the damper open...

Now THAT is a thing of beauty! Great job!

Now that I've un-boxed the CyberQ and played with it, I can confirm that it has great signal strength. While setting it up, you have it scan for WiFi, and at one point the scan found 6 networks from neighbors' houses. I had some problems getting it connected to my network, but BBQ Guru...

I want to give a BIG thank you to BBQ Guru for EXCELLENT customer service. I sent an email to their tech support late yesterday afternoon (after 5:00PM their time), and they called me this morning and fixed my problem. Chuck (with BBQ Guru) called and spent around 20 minutes on the phone...

I did a trial cook tonight on the 22.5 with the Cajun Bandit door & compression latch and with the CyberQ WiFi (in Ad Hoc mode). The CB door and compression latch worked GREAT! Not one puff of smoke escaped my door for a change. While watching, I even noticed a distinct patch where the black...

Sorry I don't have pics for this one, but I had a lot going on during this cook. I was giving the new Cajun Bandit door and compression latch AND the new CyberQ WiFi a trial run on the 22.5 with some ABT's just to have something cooking, while I did wings on the kettle. I've been inching...

Great looking plate! I love the cilantro lime corn. When I do that, I almost always get a request or two for the recipe.

I'm getting very frustrated with the infrastructure mode setup. I can't seem to get the CyberQ to talk to my network. Nakedwhiz has a very helpful walkthrough, and I have no doubt that I could do the port forwarding if I could just get the CyberQ connected to my network...

It was very easy to set up in Ad Hoc mode but very frustrating to try to set up in infrastructure mode. Chris, thanks for the heads up on the tech support service. I'll probably end up paying Guru the tech support fee to see if they can get it set up.

I finally got a chance to play with my new unit a little tonight. It's raining here, so I didn't use it tonight, but I powered it up, and was able to connect to it in Ad Hoc mode using my laptop, phone, and iPad (one at a time). I haven't been able to figure out Infrastructure mode yet. It's...

My new Cajun Bandit door & compression latch arrived today. The compression latch had no instructions, but someone here gave a link to them (and even told the right drill bit to buy to make the latch fit the door. With that guidance, it was a breeze to enlarge the hole, install the compression...

A fair percentage of OEM doors do not fit properly, let in a lot of unwanted air, and make temperature control more difficult, especially at lower temps. He'll appreciate a Maverick et-732 or 733 immediately. He may not have the background with a poorly fitted OEM door to truly appreciate a...

Congrats on nailing it! And yes, I usually get a bit nervous when I'm the one responsible for not screwing up an expensive slab of beef that will be the main course for a get-together.
