Tel-Tru's are pricey indeed. I have an Old Country thermometer in the pre-drilled location in the center of the lid. The temp on that thermometer vs the ones I had placed on the grate were about 15-20 degrees apart. I'm very weary of buying a maverick because I've read a lot about the probes...- john0091

Looks really good Jburn. I just finished my first brisket on my Wrangler and it was a pain in the butt. Over the course of 10 1/2 hours, I had to add a stick every 20 minutes to keep the temp at 250. I too think my fire was too small and I cut my wood pieces too small as well. I had the stack...- john0091

Ok, here's a couple top shots. It's hard to tell in these pictures, but if you are looking straight down into the main chamber, the first plate has a 1/2" gap. And here's the side door. I was able to peg 250 for about 50 minutes to an hour this way before adding another stick. These are...- john0091

Yes, and 1/4" thick. I had 4 plates in there, but the one by the stack got too hot and made it 50 degrees hotter on that end. Good luck today.- john0091

Clean smoke here: And three tuning plates (4 made it too hot on vent side) I moved these around until I got it to 250 on each side That link to stickburning 101 really helped.
