    Smoking Smaller Portions

    I understand that low and slow is the method agreed to by most. I also understand that basically, the overall cook time is largely controlled by the size/weight of the piece. That said, would cutting the whole piece (boston butt) into smaller chunks significantly decrease the cooking time?

    Maverick XR Alarm Setting

    I can’t figure out how to turn off the alarm on the receiver. The transmitter shows all alarms off but the alarm indicator on the receiver stays on and the alarms sound when the temps are exceeded. That’s not scoring me any brownie points at 5am while the rest of my family is still sleeping...

    Newbie Help with Temp Variation Needed

    (Same) new guy here. Purchased an Old Country Brazos a few weeks ago. So far, I've run a couple chickens (during the break-in burn), a brisket (next day) and some ribs (yesterday) thru it. Results have been ok, nothing too bad besides rubbery skin on the chicken. I added a Maverick 2 probe...

    Opinions on Wrangler II and Pecos

    Looking to buy my first offset...Not looking for anything huge, just back yard family sized. Been reading up on the Old Country Wrangler II. I walked around it a couple weekends ago and it seems pretty well built. I've read decent things about the original Wrangler. Besides the upper shelf...
