Try your local Craigslist first for a bargain. Check under "general", type in smoker and then hit search. Ya just never know what you'll find there. One of my relatives got a super deal on a stickburner from CL. Best of luck in your search.
According to the new food code http://prochefblog.com/public_pics/f...09foodcode.pdf
Section 3-501.16 Page 410 the "danger zone" is now 41-135 degrees. Thanks again bbally for pointing this out.
Do you have a link for the "new food code"? It's not on the USDA site yet according to this

The "Danger Zone" (40 °F-140 °F)
Bacteria grow most rapidly in the range of temperatures between 40 ° and 140 °F, doubling in number in as little...
You could check your oven with your probe thermo to see how accurate the setting is on your o**en. If it's pretty close it could also be the quality of the ribs. Just a shot in the dark.
This is a nice unit and won't put you in the poor house. Print out the link and leave it where "Babe" will see it. It just might end up in your stocking

Not sure what you've got to be disappointed about, but I'm sure you'll sort it out. You've got one of the best smokers out there, imo and I know several folks who have them & love em! I'll send you my address via pm and you can send me all the smoked goodies.
In regards to where the chicken is...
I don't recall seeing anything about a contest. This thread started out about a bbq show and now it's evolved into this. Just a couple of questions for ya and then I'll leave this thing alone. Are you the one who decides "who fits in"? I don't see a minor difference of opinion as a "conflict"...
Here's a bit of my "supposed" stuff.
I'm sure my stuff isn't near as good as yours, but the folks I fed raved about it, and to be honest, that's all that matters to me. If you'd like me to post more, just let me know.
I don't think it's a stupid conversation at all. It is what it is, the Internet. I was going to ask you the same question and your winnings in competitions don't count. My guess is 90% of the folks(might be more) on various forums don't compete. I'm not in it for the profit as I already have a...
Having a "profitable" bbq joint, doesn't mean it's quality Q, as the "average" Q consumer wouldn't know quality Q if they were hit in the head with it. Competition Q caters to a very small group of folks (judges) and since there are a few factors that can affect ones taste buds, who's to say...
If the show was nice friendly folks it wouldn't have much viewership or any advertisers. The real "competition" is smokin' for your friends & family and watching them pack up all the left overs to take home.
I know a few folks, myself included who would be more than willing to take that Bandera off of your hands. 165 degrees in the breast is plenty for a yardbird. By chance have you checked your therm for accuracy?
This is the headstone of Russell J. Larson who is buried at the Logan City Cemetary in Logan, Utah. Wonder if he knows he's the winner of the "Coolest Headstone Contest"?
Here's a link for the manual for that smoker. The manual clearly shows a top vent.

Also, in the 2nd pic that you posted, you can see an outline of where it should go.
