    Need some help with a couple of issues on my wood smoker.

    Ok.  I can understand that if one end of the plate gets too hot it won't come back down.  So you start with a small fire and work your way  up to temp? I usually have my fire up next to the back of the firebox, do you keep yours closer to the door?  I was thinking that might help keep the plate...

    Meat thermometer

    Good advice.  However, the only really reliable number is in the ice bath.  The boiling point of water will vary from day to day and from location to location depending on elevation, and barametric pressure.  You could double check with the boiling water, just don't get too concerned if it's off...

    Maverick ET-732's Arrived Today!

    I see that Todd alreay responded.  I'd like to add to his post. The 2 Maverick Models, ET-73 and ET-732 are awesome tools for us smokers.  The reason is the two temperature probes AND the alarm settings.  The dedicated pit probe has 2 alarms ( too high and too low).  This is what those of us...

    Need some help with a couple of issues on my wood smoker.

    Pineywoods,  Thanks for the tips.  As far as wood size, I've got a variety from standard cord wood to smaller pieces.  Told my supplier that I was willing to take the stuff that might be too small for his firewood customers.  I did catch a video from Ben Lang showing how he starts his smoker. ...

    ET 73

    Should be fine for the length of time it would be out.  Also, it will be next to a warm smoker so that should help keep it above freezing.  The thing is don't leave anything with an LCD out when the temperature drops below 0 F.  I've ruined a digital caliper (similar display to the ET-73) by...

    Something other than Maverick

    There are two mods.  One for the transmitter and one for the receiver.  They are not hard to do if you have some basic soldering experience and a bit of dexterity working with small parts.  Follow the instructions on the mods carefully and you shouldn't have any problem.  What you have to be...

    Need some help with a couple of issues on my wood smoker.

    It's a Lang model 60.  I've been running it all summer.  Have 20 or 30 runs on it so far.  The problems I'm seeing are this: 1.  Uneven temperatures across the smoking chamber.  At the firebox end it's almost 100 degrees hotter than the end furthest from the firebox.  The middle seems to match...

    ABTs - Boat vs Cone...

    I prefer boat method.  As mentioned easier to clean the seed's/ribs out.  When I do use the cone method for making armadillo eggs, I bought a baby spoon to use when scooping out the seeds.  Works pretty good.  Try searching out junk stores or garage sales for an older style spoon that doesn't...

    Just Ordered a Rock's BBQ Stoker For My Lang 60

    So overall, if asked would I buy it again, the answer is yes.  Without a doubt.  The people at Rocks are courteous and professional.  However, they will not call you if there is a delay with your order.  So don't be afraid to call to check up on it.  They answered my follow up calls very well. ...

    Just Ordered a Rock's BBQ Stoker For My Lang 60

    One other thing I've noticed is that my fuel usage is way down with the Stoker.  I don't have measurements but what used to take 2 or more wheelbarrow fulls now can be done with less than one. Here is the data from the last smoke of 24 butts.  This is cooking the meat. Started at around 9:00am...
