Thanks for the great explanation! The Pit Viper worked great, no problems. I only got the Pit Bull because I couldn't hold a higher temp without my inlet being about 1/8" open.

I switched from a Pit Viper fan to a Pit Bull. On my first cook the fan shut down after about an hour (I have to disclose the Fireboard was only a little over 1/2 charge). I plugged the Fireboard external power pack into the Fireboard and got another 40 minutes out of the fan. Pit Viper...
Works great. The Fireboard has six probes. I can view temps and control fan via my phone. Did a six hour rib cook a couple of weeks ago and didn't leave the couch until it was time to bring them in.
Thanks Bear! I couldn't maintain 220, so I smoked around 235 for a little under 4 hours using oak and pecan. Pulled at 135, rested 15 minutes, then double foiled, wrapped in 2 towels and into the ice chest. Rave reviews from everyone.
I am going with your "New Best Ever" recipe. I am using an offset smoker. Any reason for smoking on the rack in foil pan other than keeping your smoker clean?
I have been eating and cooking venison all my life, but have never used anything more than salt, pepper and garlic.
I have a couple of axis backstraps that I am going to smoke and have decided to try something different.
Any suggestions as far as an injection or rub?
I have an ASF offset smoker and have a really hard time keeping my temps under 240-250. I completely close the vents and have to close the stack down. Both cook chamber and firebox are sealed with Lavalock and I see no smoke escaping. There is maybe a 1/16" gap around the door where the vents...
I am thinking about buying a Fireboard and see that they offer a threaded ambient temperature probe. I have always used my probe on the grill grate. Using the threaded one would be much easier, but isn't using a probe on the grate better. My pit has a threaded hole just above the nameplate.
I currently use a Smoke w/Gateway and really really like it. But I am now interested in the new Signals because it has more channels. I was just about to pull the trigger when I heard (on this forum) about the Fireboard. From what I understand the connectivity, ease of setup & range is better...
