I got a Maverick ET-732 for my birthday today and no one seems to understand why I'm so excited about it. I figured I would come and share in my joy with you fine people. I can't wait to use it!!! Sorry if this is in the wrong place!

But a little guidance from the wealth of experience on this forum doesn't hurt.

Thank you all very much for the advice. This is definitely a learning process. I understnad that you can cook ribs at a higher temperature, with more monitoring, but I just want to master stabilizing temperatures for longer cooks. If I can't manage to stabilize low temps for shorter cooks...

Thanks for the reply. When there were 20 in the chimney (I counted as well), it didn't seem like enough so I added more. I will try that next time. Thanks again!

Smoked 3 racks of BB today but couldn't get the temp low and stay there. By the end of it, 2 vents were 100% closed and the other was barely (~5%) open. My target temp was 225° but it stabilized around 275°. Not sure what I did wrong but here are some specifics: Weather: Avg 60°, cool breeze...

I seem to use too much charcoal on my cooks. Today it's about 52° right now with a high of 59° predicted. Light cool breeze. I plan on cooking 3 racks of BB for our company tonight which makes me ask: Do you feel the "mini" Minion method would be enough charcoal for today's cook?

Chalk me up as a diehard Keurig lover. I would be completely lost without mine. Believe or not, we bought 2 in case we had problems with one. One of them lives in my office at the school. While not the cheapest coffee on the market, we find the lack of wasted coffee a big plus as well as the...

We have a Red, Hot, and Blue around here that I've been to twice. First time it was excellent - the second time it was so bad that I vowed never to go back (and I hadn't started q'ing yet). Everything was so dry and flavorless. My wife and I have an agreement - we each get something different...

Well, I followed (most) the advice given. Thanks! I apologize first because I didn't think to take pics until the end. I prepped the meat last night and wrapped it in plastic wrap. I pretty much followed the Mr. Brown recipe except that I added the Chris Lily Pork Injection. I put the...

Since I use a Mac, the published Excel version had some formatting issues. I figured that I would just redo the whole thing in GoogleDocs. I avoid printing anything (if possible) and love "cloud computer" so I figured that it works well. I am not a GoogleDocs pro so the only way I know to...

Thanks for the replies. The wifey picked this up "because it was on sale" and she "figured I'd enjoy cooking it." While not ideal, it's what I have and the advice so far is helpful. As far as a finishing sauce, I tend to not use one though the wife does.

So, I was given an 18" WSM a few weeks ago and I've been having a lot of fun with it. The first weekend, I did 3 racks of ribs and they turned out great! Last weekend, I did 2 whole chickens and they turned out great as well. This weekend, I'm jumping into a longer smoke and going to attempt...

Beautiful. If you don't mind my asking, how much would you estimate this to cost? If you'd rather not say, I understand.

I can think of so many that bring tears to my eyes, most of which are based on memories (are they all?). #1 - Cat's in the Cradle (Harry Chapin) #2 - You've Lost that Lovin' Feelin' (Righteous Brothers) #3 - Runaway Train (Soul Asylum)

Small restaurant / Big Flavor. I don't know the story but I'm pretty sure they are into competition (at least locally). They are known for their brisket which is all I've ever had there. If you ever go, let me know and I'll come too! The BBQ Joint

I am a middle school band director/music teacher. I love being able to make music with eager youth.
