    GMG Daniel Boone issues

    When not in use I keep a cover on mine and unplugged. Don’t want something to start when it shouldn’t. If it’s raining or snow, I use a patio umbrella to cover the hopper and electronics area - works great!

    Old grill just about burnt out

    Since I have 2 KJs, my vote for the big joe. Goes from low/slow to sear. Pretty much set and forget for temp control.

    Amazen Products available in Alberta

    Ya bbq country's website does suck. Few months ago I emailed them to see if they were carrying the kick ash basket product line. They said no not carrying them. So a month ago I ordered one from Ontario. Last week I was in their store a lots and lots of that product line!

    Big Green Egg vs Webber Smokey Mountain

    Hmm that's odd - kamados usually produce a moister meat? I have a KJ classic liked it so much got a second for the cabin. Maybe it's his technique? Maybe do to an egg fest in your area If you are really serious about a Kamado , also take a look at a Kamado Joe or Primo grill to see what will...

    YYC Smoker

    Welcome fellow calgarian! When you are ready for brisket suggest contacting Brant lake Waygu. Reasonably priced and a good cut. I think they arare still at the farmers market on Macleod

    Ceramic Egg Smoker temp question

    Lots of fresh lump and make sure the ash pan/trap is clear to let the air flow. I suggest you put the deflector on the top grate, put little copper plumbing tees on the deflector and then the pizza stone on that. 600 is my pizza temp.

    First Brisket

    You may want to keep on the gasser for 5ish hours to get the smoke and then finish in the oven. Ps Lowes has an Akorn Kamado in sale for 299. Not sure when it ends

    wood for beef brisket?

    Envious of those that have local wood options. If I went local would only have spruce/pine. Most other wood needs to be shipped in.

    Novice Smoker

    Welcome! I'm no expert and sure others will chime in but perhaps may the air dampers may need to be adjusted to get just the right amount of air flow for temps. also get that maverick going, the gauge is not accurate. I haven the chargriller Akorn and its out as much as 50'degrees.
