Very Nice MT!!

Toad knows better than I on the BBQ stuff, and I agree that the cherry and pork are a great combination.

Apple Wood + Pork = ROXERS

And MT being the Califonia dude you are - Salmon + Alder = the yymmy, serve a slightly chilled pinot from the Sonoma coastal appelation.

I have not had a problem with the thermometer yet, what's the potato thing? Can I just get an oven therm and hang it from a rack?

What you can do is take a wired thermometer and run it to the inside. You stick a potato on the rack and run the thermometer all the way through it so a good portion is sticking out the other end of the potato. This way you can tell the temp of the smoker at the rack.

I've used the oven rack hanging one and it worked for me for a couple of runs but then as toad said the glass get's all smokey and hard to read. I've also rigged a "candy thermometer" to the vent on the top. I like those because they are actually accurate compared to a metal one.

I remember seeing a show on TV
Was one of those BBQ cookoff competitions
This guy had
Two thermometors.whose guages were both on the outside of the grill One told him how hot the soker was and he had another thermometor that the probe end went into the meat and the guage was located on the outside of the smoker so you could tell the temp of the meat without ever opening the door.

Would love to find one of those

Cool!

I was hoping to find one I could just bolt to my Brinkman like the current low tech one I have. But that will due too

Dred, treat it gentle. I've had two of 'em so far and both quit working in a short time. I babied them too. Not sure what actually went wrong. Probably the probes, which can be replaced.
