    Fire went out over night

    So my wife just said: Honey, do you not remember that my mom bought us a wireless thermo as one of our wedding gifts? I totally forgot I just hooked that sucker up and have the remote setting on the coffee table. I have it setting in there for the chamber temp. I'll just have to go check...

    Fire went out over night

    Good to hear! I applied the rub and let it set out for about an hr. I'm ready for some good grub for dinner. I should have about 8 or so beers in me by then

    Fire went out over night

    Thanks for the tip! A wireless themo is the very next thing on my list to buy. I think I closed the vents off to much. It was setting between 225-230 degrees and I closed both vents a little more to bring the temp down to around 220 degrees. Noob mistake...moving the vents a little changes...

    Fire went out over night

    Thanks for all the replies! I threw it out shortly after i made this post. I didn't want to chance it. I went to the store and bought another one and put it on around 9:30 this morning. I wasn't able to let the rub soak in, but i guess something is better than nothing!

    Fire went out over night

    I started my pork shoulder on my newly bought green egg last night around 9:30. I checked the temp before I went to be at 10:30 and it was at 225 degrees. I just woke up and went to check it, and the temp was a 127 degrees! &*#$^Q Crap!!! I just restarted the fire to continue, but now I'm...

    5-Day Smoking Basics eCourse

    I received 1,2, and 5, but not 3 and 4. Anyway I could have that sent to me, or could someone point me in the right direction to read it here on the site?

    new smoker

    This is probably in the wrong section. But I'm new around here to, so what do I know. I just bought a gas smoker at wal-mart (GOSM) for $80. Was listed for $99. Smoked some beer can chicken this weekend and came out really good.

    Good deal on GOSM

    Thanks for the info Pineywoods!! I seasoned it last night pretty close to my house in the backyard. Walked to my neighbor's house shooting the s**t leaving it alone. Won't do that again until I'm sure it's ok! What kind of check would you guy's recommend? Soap and water and check for bubbles?

    Good deal on GOSM

    I was wondering if I should just get the bigger one when I bought mine. I figured the price difference was worth getting the smaller one. Hope it works out for me!

    Hello

    I seasoned it by the directions it came with, but I think I'm going to spray down the inside with PAM and heat it to about 300 degrees for an hr or so this evening. I bought a probe thermometer (one that you see in a lot of AC vents in cars) when I bought the grill. I also have a digital...
