    ET-73 defect

    I used mine again this weekend. Cursed at it many times as it lost the signal or didn't update. I had it parked 25 feet away outdoord and was sitting happy in the shade with the temp. on target...I wandered over to the bullet to find the temps spiked a bit and the receiver didn't update. I...

    Turbinado Sugar vs. Brown Sugar

    Chet, I am as green as you when it comes to smoking. But I haven't bought turbinado and just used light brown and the results were great. I can't find the link now, but Chris posted one for a site that has a glossary of foods, and substitutes were included. Light brown was the sub for...

    ET-73 defect

    ET-73 defect

    It was indicated to me by someone at Maverick that it would be in the $80 price range for the next "improved" model and it would work with a jumper type unit to double the distance. There would be a transmitter sending the signal to the jumper, and then on to the receiver. But if we can buy...

    WSM versus exercise?

    You know I was thinking this very thing yesterday. I have put on a couple of pounds since I got my WSM. But I slowed down in general due to a physical injury and I think that has more to do with it. Confgats Keri ! 30 lbs ! A friend of mine who lost over 50 lbs last year told me her...

    ET-73 defect

    I got my new replacement from Maverick and used it yesterday....same old story. As soon as I hit the door the receiver stops updating. I made sure there was nothing within 15 feet of the smoker to block the signal too. I think my solution for an overnighter will be to put the receiver close...

    ET-73 defect

    I posted about Maverick last week, but I'll update here. I had a problem with the receiver getting the signal once the trans. was out of sight (ie. in the the house was no good) so I called them and they sent me a new receiver. So I used the new receiver through walls in the house (as a trial)...

    Flavor injectors

    Does anybody use flavor injestors ? I got 1 as a fathers day gift and have read a little about them. While I am on the subject I saw an infomertial and it was for a Ronco product that injests solid items into the meat. You can inject garlic cloves, sundried tomatoes, olives, etc and when you...

    Maverick is tops !

    I spoke too soon. I tried the thermometer through a couple of rooms in the house and it worked fine, but once I placed it outside next to the smoker I have trouble receiving the signal again. It seems like the transmitter is only updating every few minutes...I seem to remember every 5 seconds...

    Maverick is tops !

    I just wanted to post a quick note about Maverick. I purchased my smoker a few weeks ago and after reading the comments on this board about the Maverick ET-73 I decided this was the way to go since I could check my temps at bedside when cooking overnight. The thermometer was callibrated fine...
