    Lowes 2x14 sticks of wood sounds like camp fire wood. A hot campfire would burn  oak cut and split from a month ago. We hosted at a campground and cut walnut, oak as well as hickory, cedar etc., We cut split stacked in a shed and with in 2 weeks we might be selling that wood to campers. I have...

    OK Joe - cant get thin blue smoke

    I struggled for a time with my BTMLE  also! It seemed like  when I got everything sealed and heat distributed evenly across the grates, my fire would try to go out with good dry wood and opening the FB door for a minute to re-ignite the fuel! By the time I reached that TBS stage the fire would...

    Charcoal basket Woes...

    FWIW, I have done and un done mods to find the satisfaction I wanted. In the end I have removed the charcoal box and use the grate in the sfb! I have a BTMLE and have sealed it sufficiently and have used a welding blanket the last couple of smokes with great success! I felt the Charcoal basket...

    Heat shrink tubing size?

    Thanks for the info. I have seen other post on here about using the heat shrink but don't recall any sizes being mentioned. I have also seen some one used RTV sealant on the ends of the tube before shrinking. I need to fix the off brand probe as practice and then I might tackle an old Mav...

    Heat shrink tubing size?

    What size of heat shrink tubing for a maverick et732 probe? I picked up a pack of 3/16 and put it on what looks like the same size cable and probe from an old off brand therm I have and it all sealed well on the probe but looks like it doesn't tightens up enough on the cable. I had my hands on a...

    Maverick 733 in the rain/snow

    I used a small Tupperware  container and drilled hole in it for the probe, then I put a gallon baggie over the whole thing. Seems like over kill but the maverick was dryer than me anyway.

    What if...

    Thanks, that gives me some relief on what ever I decide on. Like I said, I have smoked with some drizzle and some rain drops. I have done turkeys for other family members the day before and no one knew it was made the day before except me and the family member!. It just seems like this would be...

    Maverick ET 732 wireless distance

    I'm not real sure that the signal will hold constant through a double pane window or patio door. I do lose the signal just 20 ft away but the remote is usually sitting on an outside corner wall where the puter is! I put it on a stool right next to the window and have no problem. As for me, I...
