Thanks!  Everyone here is amazing, I don't know what I'd do without you guys!

I've had an apple sauce injected 10lb shoulder on the smoker at about 225 for the last 4 1/2 hours.  Its currently at 135 and not twitching so I'm getting a little concerned.  Should I wrap it now and hope that speeds up the process?

I just got done smoking a brisket that we're going to serve at a party tomorrow.  I cut a slice and it turned out pretty good (tad dry but I can deal with it), but wondering if I should slice it all tonight or leave it in tact?  What are my options and the pros/cons to them?

Two questions. First, my Dynaglo offset smoker is still a little tempermental with maintaining consistent temperatures after sealing the firebox and cooking chamber door  so I'm considering adding some firebricks which I understand will help retain and help with consistency.  Is the best...

Thanks guys!

All, I'm smoking my first pork butt tomorrow, looking for some advice on thermometer placement. In the attached pics I'm using my injector to simulate where I'm thinking of placing my thermometer.  Am I close?  Any suggestions?

So I have my firebox off the cooking chamber and I'm wondering how to work around the screwholes in the frame?  I assume its best just to cut sections of gasket in between each hole, but I'm wondering if those gaps will be big enough to allow a good portion of heat to be lost. Is there any...

Thats exactly what I plan on doing, thanks!

Out of curiosity, what happens to the silicone if it does get too hot?  Since its outside of the cooking chamber there shouldn't be any food safety issues, right?

I have a Dynaglo vertical smoker with an offset firebox and I'm looking to seal up the space between the firebox and the cooking chamber. My wife got me some high temp silicone (RTV4500) but since its only rated to 350deg I'm thinking that might not be the best idea.  I also have some self...

Jeff - what did you settle on and how did it work out for you?

Thanks!  Did you get the 1/4 or 1/8?  I assume you got the 1000deg as well?  Any tips on installation? Being my first time around with any mod all advice is greatly appreciated!

For reference here is a pic of the firebox gap

I have a Dyna Glo smoker that I've used about 10 times over the last 2 years or so, its been my first experience with a smoker of any kind and I've had decent results.  I'm not ready to get it a little bit more stable so I don't have to watch the temps so closely, I have a couple questions I...

I have a 2 year old Dyna Glo smoker that I've used about 10 times, which was my first experience with using a smoker of any kind.  I've had decent results so far but now looking to get temps a bit more stable by sealing things up and have a few questions. First, I've noticed a lot of folks...
