    Nomex High Temp

    I applied the Nomex stuff this past weekend.  So far so good, but be careful putting it on as the backing is very sticky and doesn't like to be pulled off.  In fact, I was unable top adjust one area it went on, so the middle cylinder actually sits slightly cockeyed, but I can deal with that...

    Maverick or Weber?

    I think mine is new, not used.  It also had the film on it with fake temps, 225 I believe.  It just felt a little more flimsy than expected...  But if it works, that's all I need....well, I could use some good weather to get started with my new setup...

    Nomex High Temp

    Cool.  Looks like I got the right stuff.  It says the adhesive is "genuine Lavalock technology.  The smoker has only had one charcoal burn so far, so a quick alcohol rub down should clean her up nicely.  I'll stick her on as soon as I get 24 hours +- of good weather.  It's nice in MA now, but we...

    Nomex High Temp

    Also to note, the Nomex I bought being self stick, didn't come with any RTV..  Is that something I'll need?  I did see some kits that offered, but others didn't...

    Greetings! New smoker here...

    Hello New England Group!  I'm a fan of good Q, and hopefully will making some myself within a week or so. I just got a WSM 18 last week, and I can't wait to see smoke pouring out.  So far, I've also grabbed a second charcoal grate to prevent falling through, some SS ties to hold the grates and...

    Maverick or Weber?

    So I got the 733 in.  At first glance and feel, I almost just boxed it up and shipped it right back.  It's got a very cheap feel to it, not solid in anyway.  Not even a full case, just two pieces wrapping around the guts of it.  I also saw a smudge on the screen, so I lightly rubbed on it my...

    Nomex High Temp

    Hmmm...  so is the Nomex stuff, no good?  I have being delivered today, a 15' roll of self-stick Nomex supposedly made for the WSM, from Island Outdoors, off of Amazon.  I found a few kits, but some of the reviews stated the kits were just rolls of the same stuff, pre-cut into common dimensions...

    Maverick or Weber?

    I just got the email from Amazon, it has been shipped.  Woo-hoo! Looking forward to running a bunch of tests to determine how much fuel is needed and what vent positions to hit certain temps....so hungry thinking about what it's my future... Cheers!

    Maverick or Weber?

    I got a surprise when my wife told me she would buy me a thermometer for my setup. I'll be getting a Maverick 733 sometime this week, I asked for a spare set of probes, but she left that up to me.. No complaints...I can't wait to use it! Hopefully this weekend I can get to making smoke...

    Maverick or Weber?

    Yeah, it seems the 732 is the go-to model around here, albeit something about bad probes. I think I'll look into the 732 and a set of longer replacement probes to have on hand... Thanks...

    Maverick or Weber?

    So everywhere I look, people say the Maverick is the best. But I also found a Weber branded that looked easier to use. Is the Maverick really that much better than the one made by the company who also made my WSM18? Also, I'm thinking one probe would go through the port on the side of the...

    Homebrewers Roll-Call

    Cheers and RDWHAHB! Just joined the SMF today and looking forward to making some sweet awesomeness of smoked meat at home. I've been brewing at home since 2008. I started with simple aluminum and extract setup for first batch, partial grain for the next two batches, then dropped my bank...

    Finally read to smoke!

    Greetings all.  I just signed up here, after reading a bunch of topics and information.  Seems like a pretty good place to get some info and chat about BBQ. Last Saturday I dragged to the curb, my old lava-rock-converted Char-Broil gas grill that was on the property when I moved in 7 years ago...
