    How close is the bottom of your skillet/chip pan to the black metal cylinder that the burner is mounted in ?  If it is too close it can hamper draft and affect temps.

    You could do that. IMO it might be a little hott at that level. I left the slots in mine, added an 8" skillet and put 1/4" bolts with nuts in the three legs of the flame pan to be able to adjust the height above the burner.  I have mine set about a half inch up off the smoker floor and get nice...

    Please elaborate on the heat shrinking the probes. I Got my ET732 last week. The probes read 210 and 212 in boiling water at 525 feet elevation. So I feel good with the accuracy. But I would like to do all I can to make the probes last as long as possible. Thanks, ATK

    Can I store pork and pull it later ?? w/Q-view

    Thanks for all the advice. I didn't know that microwaving leftovers was a bad idea. I guess we will boil in the bag instead.

    Can I store pork and pull it later ?? w/Q-view

    This is my second smoke with my MB XL gasser. Two nine pound "pork shoulder blade roasts," CSR's and spare ribs. Kept the temp at about 250 per my two dial thermometers. I now believe they may be off by 25-30 degrees. Fedex showed up with my new ET732 and I prepared it (but did not calibrate) to...
