May I politely suggest at least a remote read thermoprobe?
I have a few options including a heatermeater I put together with the help of the heatermeter section of this forum. I'd have liked the graphs & more certainty on the temps, that's for sure.
Those look great Clint. We do one brisket a year and that's on smoke day and we eat off of it for months. This year I made some great chili in October with the point. Also made some great sammies with the leftover flat in December. .
<chuckle> I did the opposite, I built a smoker to go with my HeaterMeter......
They look great! Man, that was a lot of wood!
Which smoker did you build? I don't recall......
A monster gravity fed charcoal smoker. 5 trays, 25"x28" each, capable of 10 full packer briskets and fully insulated. Runs just dandy at -6 F.
Looks awesome, Clint. How do you plan to reheat?
Nice! I could definitely see myself getting something bigger. I'll try to see yours in action if you post it.
http://chixjeff.dnsalias.net/smoker4 for a few shots from last summer. Unfortunately, what's not in that album is a full view shot of the smoker itself.
Building a trailer cradle for it to tow behind my g/f's Subie. It'll closer to load limits than most people realize.....
Clint, you did an outstanding job and man they look delicious. Come on smoke day, need to do a brisket for sure.
I'd like to see a pic of it as-is, if you don't mind! Looks good so far.
