Between a few issues with my brand new wsm 18.5 and not being able to use my new maverick 733, I used the temp gauge on my wsm with some estimation and turned out some amazing chicken and burgers. I used Jeff's recipe for bacon wrapped chicken thighs, and also smoked the burgers. Everyone here...
I'm gonna play with it tomorrow. The good need is my first smoke is smelling fantastic. I'm doing Jeff's recipe for bacon wrapped chicken thighs and am doing some smoked burgers using mesquite wood. Will post pics when it's done
It's flashing between BBQ and beef, the temp lines are blank, and it's showing 200 min temp 250 max. The instructions are totally useless. On too of that I'm pretty sure I got a wsm with some poorly drilled holes or bad arms or something

Hey all Dave here, finally talked the wife into letting me get a smoker. Already bought the weber chimney and ordered a maverick et733 last night. Sunday I'm ordering a wsm 18.5 from amazon with the free 1 day shipping. Plan on doing a couple pork butts as soon as I get it, will be sure to post...
