    Best way to monitor Smoker temp?

    I have two of them and they are the most inaccurate thermometer I have ever used. Both in an oven and in a refrigerator. And maybe it just happened that the first two I bought were fluke's but I'm not going to shell out the money for a third one.

    ThermoWorks Sale!! Just FYI

    Ordered and received an on sale ThermapenOne. Although I've owned a Thermapen Classic for years the ThermapenOne is so much nicer.

    Freezing Meats???

    The longer you own a vacuum sealer the more uses you will find for it. I have some rubs that came in plastic shake containers that I purchase that were turning solid if I let them sit for a period of time. I started vacuum sealing these plastic rub containers and it greatly lengthened the time I...

    Best way to monitor Smoker temp?

    There is no way I would trust those free standing oven thermometers. They may be your problem.

    Freezing Meats???

    I don't butcher the meat but do buy it, vacuum seal, and freeze. Once you start vacuum sealing there's all kinds of things to do with it. Just recently I smoked (2) ten pound butts then vacuum sealed, and froze. Pulled pork done this way tastes as good as it did when it came off the smoker.

    Grill cleaning

    Cast iron grates suck as far as cleaning. Porcelain grates are much easier to clean.

    Grill cleaning

    About every other smoke on my Masterbuilt 560 I crank the temp up to 700 degrees (no food) and nuke all the oil and food deposits. Then I brush it. I have never had a flareup on my 560 since I started using this process.

    Temperature Probe Question

    Although I have a Thermopro remote that works very well. The remotes, for me anyway, just gets me close enough to start checking with my Thermapen. The Thermapen always has the final say.

    Help me get some knives

    When I upgraded my knives a few years ago. I wanted the best blade steel that I could afford and that was VG10. There are better steels out there but they cost more. All my kitchen knives are Tojiro DP VG10. The take a good edge and hold it. Highly recommend Tojiro. I have some excellent carbon...

    Smoked Chuck Roast / Meater + Temp vs Treager Temp

    I was using an old Inkbird with a wired probe for my ambient checks. Once I got used to using the Thermopro I trust the Thermopro more than the Inkbird

    Smoked Chuck Roast / Meater + Temp vs Treager Temp

    I don't have a Meater but have found that with my Thermopro dual temperature probe the ambient part of the probe, when close to the cold meat, will read lower than actual ambient. Once the meat heats up a bit the ambient temp part of the probe works just fine.

    Thermo pro temp spike????

    I have the ThermoPro Tempsike that uses a base unit instead of an app. I recently did a 9 hour butt with it and the probes were showing about 60% when I finished.

    Looking for advice on a knife sharpener

    Just about any cheap sharpener will sharpen an edge razor sharp. If the blade angle isn't controlled the edge won't last.

    Upgrade to new thermometer

    I have done several more smokes on my Thermopro TempSpike including a 10 pound turkey breast this week. Also I did buy the optional booster. For a person like me that has had phone app issues It's great. Nothing against Thermoworks. I have owned a Thermapen Classic for years and a just recently...

    Want a new gas grill, recommendations?

    I have an old Weber Genisis that still works great. When looking at gas grills I would consider stainless steel burners as one of the top priorities.

    Smoked Turkey Advice

    I cook my turkeys @ 275 because the lower temp gives good smoke flavor. I don't need crispy skin on turkey but do like crispy skin on chicken. If internal was 160 it was done. Any hotter and the turkey gets dry.
Great deal on LEM Grinders!
