    have tried keeping temp at meat grate to 225 cooked a flat brisket looked good outside but to me it was steamed, no smoke ring, pale inside, was tender once i cut properly against the grain, bark was just superficial fat only, was disappointed.

    What's the temp gauge on dome used for ?
  19. riverturd

    To poke or not to poke

    Have a Wsm and was wondering when smoking am I using the dome temp or a temp at grate level to regulate the heat. And another temp in meat.
