I have the 700S which is basically the same as the FB. It does not have temp probe inputs. The classic has two inputs, so there's your difference.

I had the same issue as you with my 700 which I have now. I removed the temp probe protector and things started working as they should. It's been off since. 2 screws and it comes off. Just watch how you put your grills in after cleaning. You do not want the grill touching the probe as you...
I saw my very first Tri tip when I went shopping for the brisket. That too is not seen in the bigger stores around here, and if memory serves, wasn't too cheap either. Still, the butcher does stock it so I can get it whenever I want.

This. There is a MASSIVE difference between Chinese and North American metal. If you don't mind having someone's car door in your smoker, go with the Chinese made product.
Bottom line - you get what you pay for.

It seems like Costco is the go-to place. $70 is still up there tho. Maybe I'm just a bit cheap - I would find it somewhat difficult to fork out that much for one slab of meat.
Mark
Yeah, I suppose.
Luck of the draw though - just bought two 40# bags of pellets from a guy who owns a butcher shop. So I asked him... no... prodded him about the brisket. He confirmed it was expensive, but he will see what he can do for me. He suggested to snag a chuck if doing burnt ends...
Yes I do. I was considering asking him if he could spare the time. Unfortunately, meat up here is just, well, expensive all around. Glad to hear you are snagging deals tho. :emoji_sunglasses:
I could certainly live with those prices. I just can't see myself paying $100 for a slab of meat, unless I won the lottery or something. Thanks for sharing. Now I'm jealous.
The Walmarts here aren't full fledged groceries. The bigger stores don't normally stock briskets. In fact, the large store near me had brisket for sale once about 3 weeks ago - they never had it before, ever.
Costco is here but not Sams. I don't have a membership though. I believe the butcher quoted me a bit under $7 a pound, so it would be relative to the $5.70 yours charges you. I say this because $1USD = $1,000CAD lol.
