First let me ask if anyone has found a good place to clip the probe, maybe my placement is wrong. What I am noticing is when the blower is running the measured temp value is dropping and not responding very quickly when the blower is off, so causing the blower to come on again, causing the...

I noticed that the clip that holds the probe to the grate when inverted, so the probe faces down is more sensitive to the draft produced by the blower. When I turned the clip over and had the clip body between the heat and the probe the temp swings where not so bad. Bryn

@Mike Had the same problem myself today, and came on looking for anyone else with this problem. I'm in Mid TN with 50° weather, gusting. I found that the Auber would run the temp down, if I set the temp below the measured point so the blower would not run, the grate temp would come backup and...

Ok, I know you have heard this one before, but it needs saying. The only Dumb question is the one you don't ask, and the reason people think I'm so smart is because I know the answer they don't, which someone else told me, which really makes me a parrot. Bryn wants a cracker. As you look at...

Thanks for the reply Don.

Education needed here, as I'm new to smoking. Does this brisket have the point and flat or just the flat? Thanks Bryn

You are welcome. Nice part of my first attempt is that it is high temp, no brainer. Full chimney of charcoal lit, dumped in the smoker, assembled smoker with vents open, put chicken on, put lid on and let it go. I did have a temp probe in the chicken so did not need to open lid. Took about...

Welcome to the forum and to WSM smoking. I'm also new to WSM and started with a high temp chicken breast without skin. Not the best place to start but worked out well. Should have gone with skin on, just seasoned with salt and pepper. High temp is all vents open, took about an hour to cook...

Spot on, extended to 7/8/2015 for Lowes. I'm just about to pick up 10 bags from WalMart. 2x15 for $7.94 each. Bryn

Where do you find the natural casings? Thanks Bryn

Try Walmart 2x15 for $7.??, works out to be a fraction lower than lowes. I also think the lowes ends today if memory serves me right.

Walmart still seems the best place with the 2x15 bags for $7.94 anytime.

Lowes 18.6X2 with a limit of two for $9.88 each. Bryn

Why the flipping Todd? I remember reading something about flipping or was that tipping cows.

Thanks for the replies. Bryn

Brand new 18.5, placed a full starter chimney of charcoal, all vents wide open water bowl in place but no water. Grate temp topped out at 412, and slowly dropped down to 300 after two hours, Dome temp probe read 30 degrees lower than grate probe most of the way down. Basic chicken breast no...

Man that has never made a mistake has never done anything. Also remember that someone will have read this post and you will have saved them from the same mistake, expect you will never know about it. :D

Have an 18.5 WSM. Does anyone have a preference on which way up the grate the charcoal chamber sits on goes? Smooth so the chamber can move around on the grate, or upside down so the chamber is restricted by the outer grate ring. I guess it makes not much difference but wondered if anyone...

Just placed order with WalMart for six 2x15lb bags for $7.94 each. That works out to be .2646 per pound before tax, compared to HD at .2655 before tax for 2x18.6lb bags (basically the same price). I tried to order 10 bags but was reduced to 6 bags.
