I've had my Wrangler for almost a year. I've done about the same mods. Sealed doors and made 4 tuning plates. My temps hold between 10-15 degrees from one end to the other. Cook with door open and adjust temp with amount of fuel. I love mine!

Picked up several choice packers at Wally World yesterday. 1.97 lb

Yep. If you look at the last post with pics that's what I came up with. The firebox side always was cooler. I have digital thermo on each end and a Tru Tell mounted in the lid. I've been real happy with this set up. Most of it was just getting used to my smoker. Im amazed how each is a little...

Here's the current setup. Three tuning plates, the charcoal pan used as a diffuser and a water pan. This gives me temps within 5-10 degrees after about one hour. So by the time my fire is ready and the CB to temp it's pretty even. It still gets hotter on the exhaust end in the beginning but...

Welcome. You will get plenty of great ideas here!

IN addition, go to utube and search "wrangler smoker." You'll find a lot of good ideas! Smoke On!

Thanks DB!

Well started the day with a 91/2 pound packer. It looked and felt really great in the cryovac. Was trimmed pretty well before I opened it. Trimmed just a bit. It really looked good! Soaked in Dr. Pepper over night the rubbed with Salt Lick rub. Put her on the Wrangler, 250 using mesquite. 4...

I was lucky. I got mine in December. They still have several at my academy. I love mine.

Ok...I know this is an old thread but I only hot my wrangler a couple months ago. Here is how I used the tray from the fire box as a tuning plate. It works great! I have done about 3-4 cooks this way and get temp within 10-15 degrees after about 45 minutes total. Have some tuning plates I made...

3.89 for select packer at Lowes Grocery in San Angelo, Tx. Wow that's high!

Awesome! Can't wait to see some product!

SAMS packer from 1.97 last week to 2.59 today! Flats 5.50 plus. Those are for select! Hello chicken!:drool

Did another split only cook today. Used a little lump to get things going, added two splits and the temps settled at about 240, door opened. Just added a split( about 8 inches x 3 or 4 inches ) about every 30-45 minutes. Things were pretty sable, gettin the hang! Smokes 1/2 rack of spares...

Ha! That picture that followed your last post was sandwiched in between our post! It's not my response. I have used a charcoal basket in the past but am going more and more to just wood. Out here in the Angelo, we don't have much oak. I'm using mostly mesquite since that's what we have...
