    Instant Read Thermometer Advice

    I would go with the $40 one. There is NO WAY I would pay $100 for a thermometer. But if you want to, go for it and knock yourself out.

    An 8lb shoulder, a few chicken thighs, and a 2lb chunk of round steak ( Q-View )-Update

    Well, I've finally got a couple shots of this smoke. The shoulder's been on for a little over 4 hours, and is sitting at 150 right now, and the chunk' o round has been on for about an hour. Come on meats, drink up some of that Cherry / Hickory mix........

    Brother, I've never used one of those units, and i dont know what the weather is where you are, but to bang that temp up it's hard to beat opening her up a little, and throwin' on some more coal..... Good luck.......
