I have both. The 732 has better range. My house is 3200 sq ft and my WSM is on my back patio. I can be in my front driveway and not have any issues. Even when I go in the house, upstairs to my office which is also in the front of the house - still in range. Also the on/off buttons on the...

I had the same issue the first time I used mine. My suggestion - get the Brinkmann Charcoal pan. It's shaped more like a pan than a bowl so it doesn't dip down so low toward your coals. And it still holds just a shade under 2 gallons of water. If you decide to go this route, make sure you...

I think most guys start off with briquettes - I know I did. You get the feel for the cooker and then go from there. I started out using Kingsford but now I use a mix of Stubbs briquettes and Royal Oak lump. Lump does burn faster than briquettes but you should be able to get more than 5 hours...

Now THAT is how you do some surf and turf. Looks very tasty.

I just fired mine up and cooked - made some chicken the day after I got it. It ran a little hot the first few cooks but then it settled down.

For you guys that run your probe through the top vent - how low do you let it hang?

It looks like based on the feedback from my first question, I will be moving my chamber probe from the grate to the top vent for better accuracy throughout my cook. Here is my second question. This is for those with a 2009 WSM with the lid therm that use a Maverick (or Podler or whatever...)...

I have used both the ET73 and the ET732 on my 18.5 inch WSM. My question is about smoker probe placement. I have always use the clip and put my probe in the center of the top grate. I know some guys like to drop it down through the top vent. I want to know what you guys think works best -...

I use both. I use Stubbs briquettes which can be found at Lowes. About 2 or 3 times a year they put it on sale and I stock up. And I also use Royal Oak lump which can be found at WalMart - which explains why I love using it, but I hate going to buy it. Anyway, when I first started out with...

Nice looking tri-tip. Nice plates too. I have the same set - got them from Target.

I don't sear. But like LarryR said, let it sit for a few hours before you cook - let it come up to room temp. I do mine low and slow and pull it off when the internal temp is 125 or 130. Let it rest about 20 to 30 mins and then its time to eat. I get a nice even medium rare from center to...

Under my patio cover. Sometimes I get lazy and don't clean it out immediately after a cook and don't put the cover on. I've been luck and never had any major issues when I've done that. But in 2012 I'm going to try and be more diligent about taking good care of my WSM. When I'm doing the...

The coffee can thing was one thing I never did. I thought that was going a little too far. There is one thing I do still do though thats kinda nit-picky...when I'm lighting my coals for the MM, I always count out EXACTLY 20 coals. And I only use whole coals - any partial chunks get thrown in...

My patio furniture still has the burn marks from my first attempt at ribs. That's what happens when you pull hot coals out of the smoker and put them in a plastic bowl and then set said bowl (while its starting to melt) on your furniture cushion. Lucky I didn't burn down my house. And I...
