I made a mini wsm and have been using a river country analog temp gauge on the smoker itself and have been using the thermopro tp08 dual digital probe to monitor meat and a back up to inside temps of the smoker.
This past weekend I smoked a meatloaf and it seemed my temps where all over the...
Been enjoying my mini so far this summer. Can't wait to join you and the others with the Jimmy build. Already have the jumbo joe just wanted to wait to see if I could find a cheap pot to keep the build price low. Did you use the concord pot?
I did before I seasoned the birds. I'm probably making to much of a deal about the skin. As long as the meat is good eat up.
I do think my main problem was I didn't put enough lit coals in. I had the bottom grate all the way open and couldn't get above 295.
Skin didn't crisp up like I wanted because I didnt get the temps high enough but the meat was very juicy (should have just brined 1 to compare the 2). Probably try lump next time to get the temps higher.

Doing my second smoke tomorrow. 2 whole chickens just a a salt and water brine over night. Hopefully I can fit both chickens on the top grate but we'll see.
Any advice or tips.
This will be my 2nd(hopefully I can fit both) cook on my mini wsm. Just keeping the brine simple with salt and water.
Open to any advice for crispy skin. Was thinking starting it off at 250 then 300 350 to finish it off
I'll be doing a chicken Sunday maybe 2 to attempt a meal prep for the week. Looking at you the chicken in here has me excited.
So salt and water for the brine. Anything else I could help with flavor?
I wanted to flare the expanded metal on the charcoal basket outward like yours is to get more coals in but just did it regular. Gonna make it happen on the jumbo joe.
Just like this.
