    Boston butt

    If there is a way to calibrate it, I didn't see it. I guess you could figure exactly how much it is off and then just add or subtract those degrees. Mine is around 10 degrees hot so I could just subtract 10 degrees. Or, I could just return it and hope the next one works better.

    I bought a Maverick at Bed Bath and Beyond this weekend for $40.00. It was off by 10 degrees. I am going to take it back.

    I went out last night and cut up enough crabapple to last a few years. I was worried about it not being a traditional apple tree but I did a google search and all sources said crabapple is similar and fine to use. The wood smells very sweet and looks identical to apple. Many of the branches...
