Smoking a chicken the size of a small turkey today on the future in-laws' Vision Kamado grill.
I think I'm in love.

Re: Official OS BBQ/Grilling Thread
The XR-40 Wireless Digital Thermometer from Maverick features new, improved technology that works faster and from farther away than before. Monitor the temperature of your food up to 500 feet or 160 meters away without worry. An alert will tell you if you have gone out of range or lost signal from the wireless transmitter. The XR-40 features new INSTA-SYNC technology that guarantees faster connecting, reduced interference, better packet transmission, reduced connection drops, and simpler user interfaces. An improved LCD screen lets you see your readouts easier, day or night. The two included stainless steel meat probes are rated for up to 716 degrees F, and temperature measurement can be switched between Fahrenheit and Celsius. Conveniently monitor food, the temperature of a grill, or two of either. Choose either probe attached to the transmitter to change the settings for it. Select between 15 available meat settings and doneness levels to cater to your specific cook. Easily set a timer, or a desired temperature and be notified when your food or grill is ready to go. The receiver and transmitter feature a stand on the back for ease of use. This item Includes 4 AAA batteries.
I use this for smoking.
It is double pronged (one for the meat and one for the smoker temp). You can set alarms on both so you are notified when your cooking temp falls out of the desired range as well as when your meat hits optimal temperature.
The range on the remote is decent as well.
I think they have newer ones that you can sync your phone too, but this one works just fine for me.Comment

Re: Official OS BBQ/Grilling Thread
Anyone have tip on how to keep the heat up on a Brinkman smoker? I've installed a better temperature gauge and drilled some holes in the ash pan but still have a hard time keeping a constant 200 to 210 degrees when smoking ribs. I have to keep adding wood chips/lump charcoal which will spike the temp. My ribs turn out well but sometimes I have to finish them off on my Weber grill or start them in the oven.
I know it's not the best smoker in the world but I got a cheap one to practice with. I've got my eye on a Weber Bullet in the future and plan on getting an electric one as well for jerky and bacon.GT: Herkyalert

I'll continue to look and see if I can find my old post.Comment

Re: Official OS BBQ/Grilling Thread
That's what I did. Bought some gasket rope and sealed it along the front and back of the lid. You have to seal both the top and the bottom to get it flush.
Also bought some fire-resistant sealer (I forget the brand name but the sealer is red) and filled all the holes around the grill. There are a ton of tiny holes in the smoker.
That being said I still can't get a perfect seal. The gasket wears away after a few uses.
Brinkmans are poorly built to be honest.Comment

Re: Official OS BBQ/Grilling Thread
Came home from work to this the other day. Don't care about the fence , but if you look to the far left, my poor smoker got wholloped! (shockingly my wife cared more about the fence)
Had to wait for pictures for home insurance but I went out to rescue and salvage what was was remaining of old smokey and I found it took the whollop well. Only the door was dented. The rest is fine. No one was hurt. it is a huge tree.

Re: Official OS BBQ/Grilling Thread
We had damage from a storm too...sucks with the deductible, but you can probably have part of that go to damage to the smoker and just fix it yourself too....
