    How much meat per person?

    This has most likely been covered here, but I'm thinking (as of now, just thinking...) about smoking some pulled pork for a local dinner type thing, and so far the details are a little foggy as for how many people they expect to show up. They're saying anywhere from 100 to 400. That's helpful...

    grill/grate thermo. with capillary

    thanx! Keep me updated on how it works! Good work-that is very cool! Could you explain what a PID and SSR are, and give me more of an idea how this works? What are the temps. displayed representing, etc...And what do the individual components do?

    grill/grate thermo. with capillary

    Hugh Jass. That's AWESOME. Thanks for the info. This is something I might be interested in. Is the meter weather-proof, or do you just leave the t-couple installed permanently, and connect the meter when you use it? Prob. a dumb question...I guess that's why I thought a gauge with a capillary...

    grill/grate thermo. with capillary

    I would like to permanently install a grill/grate-level thermo. on my smoker, and I would like to find one with a capillary and sensor to the grates, and a gauge mounted outside. Does anyone know where I could find something like this? I know there's lots of digital units out there, and that's...

    Buying a Maverick Therm.

    I have four of the Taylor units with single batteries, that I got from Target, and 3 of the probes have gone bad for me-they read way off...I don't know if I got them too wet cleaning them or what? I emailed Taylor, and that is what they said was most likely the problem. Anyone else had this...

    Oklahoma Joe's horizontal smoker-looking for info

    thanks everyone for all the great info! I've fired this thing up twice over the weekend, with no meat in it just to see how it behaves, and I'm still messing around with my baffle plate to get it how I want it. When I first put my plate in, the firebox end was actually about 40 degrees COOLER...

    Thanx for the info! Cool that you're in Wichita! Does extending the stack down to grate level help keep the smoke lower towards the meat? How close to the grates should it be?

    Oklahoma Joe's horizontal smoker-looking for info

    Please give more explanation on the block of wood under the lid. Is it because the heat is too high? I thought about making a baffle plate with small holes drilled in it near the firebox,and larger ones away from the box, to lay in the bottom, butted up against the firebox, to help keep the heat...
