    Question about temps on my GMG Daniel Boone

    I hardly ever do anything with the far end. Usually just the left side. I did some wings the other night and the far side was taking way longer. While the one above the burner were just fine.

    Question about temps on my GMG Daniel Boone

    I have been smoking with it and grilling with It just fine. It seems though that it has a really bad hot spot over the burner and that the far end doesn't get anywhere close to as hot as the rest of the unit. Anyone else have this problem?

    Thermometer calibration

    Well the temp reads just fine. But i'm smoking 2 corned beef's right now and on the trial run of the thermometer I can't be more than 20ft from the transmitter with the reciever. I smoke in my shed because it has a concrete floor and keeps the wind and rain away and the house is like 70ft from...

    Thermometer calibration

    Thermometer calibration

    If that is correct then my thermometer is only like 1-2 degrees off. Hope that is correct! Littleton is a Denver suburb so it is at 5,200 and some change. I am sitting at 4,500ft or so. I could be close but how can I be sure about the exact temp?

    Thermometer calibration

    I was just wondering at what point water should boil at 4500ft. I am trying to calibrate my new Maverick ET-7 and when I stuck it in the boiling water it read 206-207 on both probes. Anyone that can point me in the right direction, please do so!

    Hello from Colorado

    I started tearing apart the Big Chief this afternoon. Everything comes apart so that I can put it back together with the exception of the burner retaining clips which I will have to cut off. I don't see that being a big problem for using the original equipment again. I will probably test run it...

I recently purchased a Big Chief electric smoker under the assumption that I could use it for Smoking and Fully cooking my meats. I found out so far that beef can be done enough to eat...
