    How to prevent top grate in 18" WSM from falling down?

    I'm not sure if this problem is unique to me or not, but the top grate on my 18" WSM doesn't seem to  be quite big enough. It seems like it is 1/8"-1/4" too small to fit on the brackets properly. This is a bit of a problem as if I shift the grate too much during a cook, it can slip off and the...

    Cheap replacement probes for ET-733

    Just wondering if anyone has a line on a cheap source for replacement probes for the Maverick ET-733. I already killed one of mine, and I do have a spare on hand, but when the next one or two inevitably die I would like to not have to pay $25 for a new one.

    First fatty and my first Q-view

    It tasted great, I think the poppers/ABTs went quite well with it. I think it would have turned out better if I had used plastic wrap to roll it, I've seen others do it that way, but I think I just forgot at the time. I only used parchment paper, it did a pretty good job, but it wasn't too...

    First fatty and my first Q-view

    Made a few things, but posting here as the fatties were what I originally planned to cook I wanted to do one last BBQ of the year, but realized that I still had a big long list of things to make. I figured that if I was going to go to the trouble of firing up the smoker, I might as well make it...

    Sorry if this is the wrong forum, I thought this would be the best fit. Anyways, I'm just wondering what the best/recommended way would be to get rid of the waste grease/water from the water pan after a cook is done? I am hesitant to just dump it down the kitchen drain, as I'm concerned that...

    First pork butts (with pics)

    Just got my WSM about a week ago and finally completed my first big cook. Having a big family dinner on Sunday and decided to cook today and reheat in order to make sure there were no issues and to ensure that I had enough time to get everything done without too much stress. I went with two...

    Maverick ET-733 thread

    Is it pretty common for the probes to die on the 733? I just bought mine abut a week ago, I've used it only a few times including today when I was using it to monitor a couple of 7lb butts, and the probe in the meat seems to have died. It was never submerged or subjected to high heat. For a...
