    It does have the grommet. I used it for the whole chickens I did on the first smoke. Learning experience though as I laid the temp probe on the grate. Don't ask me why 128563 I'm going to put 4" casters on it today to make it more mobile. Thanks Bear! One guy from Penn State taken so far...

    I'm going to try smoking baby back ribs tomorrow.  I got the Brinkmann rib racks and a rub I found at Lowe's.  It's the Three Little Pigs rub.  I liked that the main ingredient was brown sugar versus salt.  It had way less sodium overall than other rubs.   I was going to try smoking today but...

    Good tip, thanks JckDanls 07!  I'm off work this Friday and am going to try a pork butt.  I kept wondering why my WSM thermometer temp was so far off from the dual probe temp

    Never thought to dangle it between the grates.  Not sure why I laid it on the grate   I was having some trouble maintaining the temp on the smoker but it worked out after awhile.  My wife said it was more like 4.5 hours not 5.5 hours but it definitely took longer than I expected.  I wanted a 4-5...

    Thanks.  I actually have a stand for the chicken I have used on my grill before but I forgot all about it.  I will say laying the chickens directly on the grill left some nice grill marks though!   Thanks for the welcome.  Family loved them.  It wasn't overly smokey which I was worried about...

    Okay so I seasoned the smoker Saturday and smoked two whole chickens today. The Seasoning: This did actually lessen the amount of smoke escaping the unit although not entirely. And the smoked whole chickens from today which I soaked overnight in a simple kosher salt and brown sugar brine...

    ThermoPro TP03 thermometer On Sale at Amazon

    Thanks! Just placed my order. Ours was old and probably not super accurate.

    Thanks Al. This is all great info as I truly have no idea what I'm doing but hope to soon! Chicken will be next. My issue might be rain this weekend here in PA. I'm not sure about smoking in the rain. Thanks for the welcome!

    Pork butt it is but one more question.  I have a 14.5" WSM.  What size pork butt would fit?  Right now it's mostly just me and my wife that will be eating.  I have a 5 year old boy who will eat a little and a 3 year old girl who probably won't touch it.  Thanks again for the advice, really...
