Thanks for the comments, everyone. Judging by whistlepig's thoughts, it sounds like the Inkbird is the best choice. It's also the most economical, so I'll go with that for now.
Hi! I had been using an ThermoPro TP-08 for the past two years, but the transmitter died today during my smoke (smoke is still ongoing as of this writing). So, now I need recommendations for a new one.
I suspect the weather was a factor in its demise. I'm in MI and it's currently 32* and...
Thanks for all the answers, everyone! Lots of good info, but the general consensus seems to be an improvement of flavor. I'm always trying to get more smoke flavor of my of my Smoke Vault or Weber, so an offset may be something I treat myself to in the future once I've paid off my debt. A...
I'm wondering what the point of offset smokers is. On the surface, it doesn't do anything a WSM doesn't do. It consumes more fuel and has to be tended to more frequently. What more would I get out of an offset that a WSM doesn't give me?
I don't have a Masterbuilt, only a Smoke Vault, so my advice may not work for you, but here are the changes I made. I get very constant temps unless it's windy or the air temp fluctuates wildly.

Mine isn't very dirty, but I haven't used more than 5 times. That aside, if you're referring to the temp probe that's physically attached to the smoker (I have a Smoke Vault), I don't clean it at all because I don't use it.
EDIT: Also, it's 5am on the US East Coast. Not a lot of people on...
Thanks for the replies, everyone.
What about in Flint? I lived in Swartz Creek and Flint and still go up there to visit family a couple times per year.
Hi, everyone. I decided that, this summer, I will learn to smoke perfect ribs. Been lurking the forums for a few weeks and pouring over reviews of grills/techniques. Finally decided to join so that I could ask questions and talk with everyone. I ended up getting an 18" Smoke Vault, then...
Hi! Just joined the forums today after reading a bunch of posts in preparation for getting my Smoke Vault. I'm in the Jackson area and work in Ann Arbor. Might move back to Metro Detroit one day; who knows.
My first smoke was a success: hickory smoked chicken thighs. Juicy as hell with...
Wow! There's a LOT of retired people here! I'm a long ways off from that. In the meantime, I'm working as a business analyst/project manager at a software company.
