New WSM - Overcomplicating?


 
Dan, you nailed it!!! That is a great first cook! And the family loved it, that is the most important part!!! I can't wait to see your future cooks.

I'm using a Meater Plus for monitoring temps and it works well. Nice because it also monitors the ambient air temp inside the cooker. The app can set notifications (alarms) for both high and low temp points. Easy to use with the WSM because there are no wires to mess with.
Alan, have you found the ambient temp on the Meater+ to be accurate?

Yes... I compared it to readings with my Thermapen Mk4 poked through the grommet and they matched.

Only thing I notice is when the meat is real cold at first the Meater ambient reads a little lower (ten or so degrees) than the actual temp I think because of its proximity to the cold meat. After ten minutes or so as the outside of the meat warms up, the reading comes up and matches the Thermapen.
