Did you adjust temp knob up to 250? And then remember you need to push the temp button once more to lock it in. As soon as I turn the temp knob my fan kicked in. I did have an issue with my lid sensor not shutting down the fan today but haven’t looks into it yet.
Just ran mine through it’s first cook (ribs) and absolutely love everything about it.....to the point I had my son and his buddy haul my Weber gas, Traeger and Bradley down off my deck. I don’t see any issues with leaving it on your wood deck, that’s where mine is sitting and I played with it...

I am going to do some tri-tip and prime rib this weekend.........can anyone tel me what desried temps are for both? foil both? Any wood suggestions? Thanks for the help!!!
Nice job!! Just my 2cents on a couple things........with the gap in your door, get a roll of Big Green egg gasket that you can buy at any egg dealer, it handles heat well and will seal up your gaps. I also was told to use tender quick, available by the salt in the grocery store, to obtain a...
I agree on the cost of the temp rigs but appear to be well worth the money.........just had the turkey, incredibley juicy and flavorful but did not take the smoke like i was hoping for but as i said first time smoking with it so it was kind of a quick run through. Will wait to make judgement on...
Fried steaks Friday night.....turned out great! Have a turkey on at 225 as we speak!! I have learned it is going to take some time to learn the tricks on getting temps set on this thing. One other thing i dont know if i am going to like is the lack of being able to add wood chips mid to late...
Thanks for the replies guys! I will definitley let you know how it works. By the way I have checked out the BGE sites and they are nowhere near as informative and helpful as smoking meat is.
Hey Carpet I live about a mile form Spitfire and love most everything they have but I do agree on the Raspberry gazed ribs, not bad just not for me. Did you by chance try the little spitfires? They are fantastic......i posted about them today
We have a lcal Q restaurant that makes these as an app. and they are INCREDIBLE!! I have not done them on my own but figured I would pass along what they do, hopefully this isnt a repeat post, anyway they take the half Jalapeno and put a piece of smoked chicken along with a piece of onion...
Thanks for the input guys........I am going to check my Therm on my smoker and see if it is on, theonly reason im believing it at this point is because the meat was so tender and juicy..........I like smoke flavor and lots of it, next one i do im going to really pour it to it hard and see what...
I used hickory with some apple wood mixed in used a combo of the really fine chips, regular chips and actual chunks, the packer weighed 9#'s my total on smoker time was about 10 hrs appr.
I was wondering what im gaining or losing by going with a packer over a flat brisket, i just smoked my first brisket and used a packer, seems like all i gained was alot of extra trimming, am i missing something? Thanks
I attempted my first brisket this weekend, turned out incredibly well thanks to everyone here EXCEPT it did not take on the smoke i poured to it???? put smoke to it for approx. 5 to 6 hrs at 240 to 250 got it to 180 foiled it and put it back on.........got it to 200 and wrapped it in towels and...
First Thanks for all the input and advice......had 20 plus for dinner Sat. Pork loins turned out fantastic, 321 spares were perfect, brisket was incredibly tender and juicey BUT tasted like roast beef, it was like it did not take any of the smoke, used Hickory and apple wood......?????? Whats up...
Thanks for the input everyone!!!! Josh I have a couple questions, IMHO wont the searing seal up the pours in the meat and not allow the smoke to penetrate? I like the foil pan idea but again doesnt it impede the smoke from the meat? Suggestions for the brisket juice? Thanks so much guys im...
