    What do you all do with leftover hot dogs?

    Throw them in the freezer until your friends come back over.

    1st time spatchcock turkey have questions.

    Smoked Beef Tongue Q-View

    This thread is six years old, and nobody is crying "necro".  Add that to the list of reasons I like this place. On a side note, I'd like to try some of that tongue, just because it seems gross.  That's the reason I tried sushi the first time.  Now, I can't get enough of it!!

    Maverick ET-733 thread

    My unit was pretty dead on from the get go.  Even against my Thermapen.  It has also never failed to sync, and I don't think it's ever lost sync.  Maverick's are supposed to be pretty rock solid.  If you're having these problems, I'd have them replace it.

    FYI, that charcoal snake ended up sucking, big time.  It needs double walls in the middle.  Otherwise, most of the time, it sets the coals next to it on fire, and turns the snake into more of a "wave".

    Follow these steps.  Note:  It will NOT work, if the units aren't synced.  You need to be displaying current probe temps in the right hand column of the receiver.  If you see three dashes in each column, sync the units. 1. Hold the "set" button until it beeps. 2. If you press the down or up...

    The only reason, and I mean THE ONLY REASON I got a smartphone, is because I went in to get a new phone (my old one about had it), and there were only two normal phones there.  I figured by the time I came in again, smartphones would be the only thing offered, so might as well bite the bullet...

    Maverick ET-733 thread

    When I was younger, I remember older people struggling with electronics and what not.  I promised myself I would never let that happen to me.  Here it is now, I'm only 33, and when I have to set up a new electronic device, I rummage through the instructions just enough to get the damn thing to...

    Maverick ET-733 thread

    It's like programming a digital watch from decades ago.  If the unit came with no instruction manual whatsoever, you can still figure it out in just a few minutes by pushing buttons.  Once it's set for say...brisket, and you want to do brisket after brisket, it's going to turn on and be set for...

    Maverick ET-733 thread

    Man, I wish I could help you.  Have you called Maverick?  Their number is on the first page in the FAQ section. Thank you.  Glad you liked it.  It's not really a review.  It's more of an "unboxing", followed by a collection of information, LOL.  I don't know enough about these things to give it...

    The display is brighter and dimmer based on the angle you're looking at it.  If you set it down on the counter with the provided stand, and look down at it, it should be easy to read.  If you look straight at it, it will be dim.

    No.  Over the months, the firebox lid has warped some.  So if I were you, I'd give it a minute before you did that.  As far as the cooking chamber lid, it's always been pretty tight, so I left it alone.

    Urgent Food Safety question...

    You're not asking the right question, amigo.  The right question is:  "How far is it to the state line?  And can someone with a pickup help me move?"

    I had some cut, but I never went and picked them up.  However, this smoker could seriously benefit from them.  IIRC, they were 14.75x4. There is a thread on here about this smoker, and he details the dimensions.

    Looking for a topic

    As stated above, you can talk about TBS vs. thick white smoke. You could also talk about: -how the chemical reaction creates a smoke ring -low and slow vs. hot and fast -to mop or not to mop -food safety (40-140 in 4) -different types of wood, and what woods you can't use -should you soak...

    Ads running video in background

    When I am just browsing, they turn on really loud for less than a second by themselves.  If I leave it on the page long enough, I get a popup saying a script has stopped working. I'm not complaining, considering it's free, but that's what's going on in my neck of the woods.  I guess I should...

    Maverick ET-733 thread

    Okay, I've added some stuff to the FAQ section.  One of you mentioned a good thread on configuring these units.  If you could dig that up so I could add the link to the FAQ, I'd appreciate it. FYI, setting up this thermo is so easy a caveman could do it. So if any of you need some help, drop me...
