    Don't forget to calibrate

    Bearcarver: I think you'll really like the Thermapen. It makes a great addition to what you're currently using to monitor your meat temps. Well worth the money, imo. Racyb: As a matter of fact, I open the lid to my smoker less now then when I first started smoking meat. Recovery in mine is...

    Who's the wisea##

    I agree! Hey, it's winter time, so if that's "shocking", better slip another couple of layers of skin on.

    Don't forget to calibrate

    Since these probe therms get their information from the probe(right or wrong) the head will only read what the probe tells it. The head or main unit in non adjustable. If a probe is few degrees off, either on the plus or minus side, one would have to check it at different temp readings, hence...

    Don't forget to calibrate

    This is a good thing to do prior to each smoke, however since one is checking the linear accuracy of the therm, I don't think you can calibrate a probe therm. It is what it is.

    Is it dangerous to try to smoke a 26lb. turkey??

    http://origin-www.fsis.usda.gov/Fact...utes/index.asp 6th item from the top is about smoking turkeys. The temp they mention is 225-300 degrees. Not sure if this is the same article.

    I won a 40" Masterbuilt Smoker on the John Boy & Billy Show!!!

    Certainly can't beat the priceUse it till it quits and btw, you wouldn't be real happy with the Brinkmann Vertical. The mes is a much better unit.

    Danger zone time

    If I'd have had a brain fart and let my bird sit out for 4 hrs, I think I'd go get another bird. But that's just me.

    What Wood to use for Turkey? Time?

    From what I've heard and read, red oak & your choice of fruitwood are good choices, if they're available in your area.

    I have question about turkey and pork

    http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/for...66&postcount=1 Let the poultry drip on what ever. The "bugs" won't survive above 140 degrees anyway.

    New Thermapen - BIG

    It does appear that you're getting something quite substantial for your money, doesn't it? I'm not so sure that the color has anything to do with the speed, since both the super-fast & the splash proof use the same K-type thermocouple.

    Fire and Burn Hazards Prompt Recall of Gas Grills Sold at Lowe’s Stores

    Made in China strikes again. No point in testing the units before putting them on the market. Let the consumer do the testing and hope all goes well. 175 grill fires and 25 incidents of grills melting. Gives new meaning to "Perfect" flame

    Is it wrong to bring Blackberry deer hunting?

    You could always just read the political jokes (aka sour grapes) that get posted on this forum. That should get something moving.

    Pumkin Pie? Maybe Not

    Once you get passed the big headline and read the article, it appears that the Nestle Co. controls 85% of the pumpkin market. Could it be an attempt at raising co. profits by creating a "false" shortage? Nah, no fine upstanding company would do that............would they? The squash idea is a...

    I'M a newbie AND NEED SOME HELP WITH BRINING

    If you don't have room in your fridge for the bucket(s) ,you can can leave enough room for ice on top of the brining turkey and put the lid on. Keeps it plenty cold. Or as a last resort, you could dry brine, which you only need enough room in the fridge for the turkey(s) in a oven bag(s).
