I'm trying to get everything together for the arrival of my new WSM. In shopping at Home Depot today I came away with a great deal on Kingsford charcoal (48lbs for $8.00) and some questions. First, I couldn't find a good mat to put down under the cooker (any suggestion on type and place to purchase). I found what looked like a good thermometer (at Wal Mart-created for grills and easy to mount), but the temps on 3/4 of them were showing 300+ degress already, Does that mean they are not working correctly because Im pretty sure its not that hot here in So. Cal. And lastly for now, at Wal Mart they have bags of Jack Daniels old oak barrel wood chips and I was wondering if anyone had anything to say about them as far as if they were a good replacement for white oak with ribs and if they added any flavor (good or bad) being they once held jack daniels.
As far as accesories go, what have you guys found to be irreplacable and would recommend I must have before that first cook. Do I really need fireproof gloves (where would I get them?) I would even like to hear about things you got and never use just so I don't make the same mistake. Thank you for all replies.
