    Maverick Help

    I like you OCD problem as well !....I think I am just going to have to "just roll with it". It drives me nuts not being able to dial it in completely but then again I get some parts of this hobby are NOT an exact science. ( referencing avg. air temps not thermometer software - that does have science

    I'm on the fence with the "metal conducts" thing. I work with electricity so I get how metal conducts. If anything, it should be a heat sink. I like the wood block idea from Venture's post earlier but also see that it made no difference. I feel that when up to temp ( 1 hr ? ) the clip on the...

    MasterBuilt Gas and Needle valve guidance

    You are correct. This is what I was able to find - it looks like others here have used it with success. Are you thinking that I could keep my stock regulator and use a valve like the one in you link to do what I want?

    MasterBuilt Gas and Needle valve guidance

    Masterbuilt Pro Dual fuel 2 door. I am looking at buying a needle valve to dial in/ stabilize my temps. Currently with no mods, I  hit 250-275 and then back it down to 225-250. What I am seeing is I get the temp rising and falling in that window (218-255) with no adjustments by me-- just...

    OK. So on my model of smoker - Masterbuilt Pro Dual fuel Gas - where do you recommend for me to try placing the Maverick BBQ probe? I get the walls and door side run higher, but I thought I was a step ahead by putting the Mav in the center.

    Masterbuilt Pro Dual Fuel - Final answer on door seal needed

    Thanks for the help here. I sold off my other smokers and ended up with keeping the Masterbuilt gas.

    Thermometer compaisson - confused and need advice

    I now know that I probably didn't smoke the beef ribs long enough - newbie mistake. I am going to do a whole chicken this weekend and check the thermometers again. I suspect the Maverick will be the same - if so, I need to let it be and move on.

    Masterbuilt Pro Dual Fuel - Final answer on door seal needed

    Turns out maybe not necessary at all. I ran it with ribs on Saturday for 5.5 hrs and didn't see a significant problem. I went through 2 chunks of wood back-to-back, about 2 hrs tota; of smoke.

    Thermometer compaisson - confused and need advice

    During the smoke, the probe was dead center between the slabs. see picture, The adjusting I did was "averaging" - just that. I took the 3 temps and averaged them to get an idea where I was at,

    I am trying not to adjust to the Mav. Hence the "tail wagging the dog".

    Thermometer compaisson - confused and need advice

    Beef ribs. I used the Maverick barbeque probe only - just watching the air temp. It showed on the display of the receiver 220-240 depending on the wind that day - generally held closer to the 240 the whole time. Smoked for 3.5-4 hrs, mopping good once an hour along the way.

    We are at 840' ASL here in Richfield, MN. I agree with the +/- a couple of  is degrees is acceptable. My concern was the air temp. in the smoker - the Maverick was reading quite a bit higher. But if it's right in boiling water and ice water = it has to be right in the smoke too?

    Thermometer compaisson - confused and need advice

    Here is where I am at. I bought a new (used) Masterbuilt Pro Dual fuel (gas/charcoal) and the burner is spot on. I can dial it in within 10 deg. of desired temp. and hold it there. It is very accurate so far. My problem is this : I don't trust my brand new Maverick ET-732 thermometer set. (...
