    Maverick Model ET-732

    I have the ET-73 thermometer. I do wrap these wires in foil if I use them on the grill but the specs for the new ET-732 say both probe wires are heat resistant to 716°F. I am guessing wrapping the new ones should not be needed for any smoking applications.One of these days I want to upgrade to...

    I Failed the Smokenator Test

    I have a Smokenator and LOVE it! My 1st question is did you follow the directions for lighting the charcoal? If so, I wonder if your lid is warped. I got mine for Christmas and have used it numerous times now. It works great. I actually deviate a bit from directions now. I use the water pan for...

    Smokenator ?

    Update to previous post - I got a Smokenator for Christmas. I have used it a number of times since then and my opinion is if you have been putting off buying one - DON'T! I REALLY like it! The only downside is the limited amount of meat that will fit on a Weber for smoking. The results were...

    Smokenator ?

    I think it would be worth the money. The only reason I don't have one is I am currently unemployed and the greenbacks are rather scarce! I do sorta the same thing with foil. I scrape all the charcoal to one side and then droop foil over the top rack down to the charcoal grate. I use a foil mini...

    Smoking with Weber kettle grill

       Have any of you used wood pellets for smoking in your Weber kettle grill? I was desperate for a way to add smoke flavor to my grilled food without spending the money for a smoker. So I bought some Traeger apple pellets and a few aluminum mini bread pans. I filled the pan about 1/2 full of...

    Question about rub on butts with mustard

    I want you to know I despise mustard! However when I smoke a butt, I slather them with mustard! I then use lots of my homemade rub. I bought the recipe from Jeff at www.smokingmeat.com. The bbq recipe is nothing less than awesome as well!! It is SO worth the money! My friends ask me to make...

    Traeger Paint

    I find this interesting! I had been determined to buy a Traeger till I found out they moved their manufacturing to China. To me that idea of having them made in China is SO not impressive! Is this the result of that? Makes you wonder! Sure hope they take care of your problem! I intend to go for...

    cooked shrimp

    I will tell you what I do. I buy cooked, peeled and deveined shrimp. Melt some butter and add powdered garlic and liberal amounts of Cajun seasoning. I then dump the shrimp into a wok and brush the seasoned butter on them. I do it over a hot fire on the grill just long enough to give them a bit...
