Digital thermometer opinions
I purchased an Inkbird IBT-4XS to use with my WSM. I am not impressed! There are 4 probes and one is being used as an ambient temp gauge for the smoker temp. The probe is mounted to one of the supplied metal clips on the bottom of the top grill. The temp being measured is 20 degrees off from the...- smokeydez

Digital thermometer opinions
I am looking to get a new digital thermometer. I am debating between the Inkbird IBT-4XS and the ThermoPro TP20. With the forum discount, the TP is $7 cheaper, but the IBT has 4 probes, a rechargeable Li-battery, and Bluetooth. While the TP has a longer range. Thoughts and opinions?- smokeydez

Mini WSM build
Hey hank, Yeah, I saw the other way to put the hole in the bottom by cutting the disk and going that route. But I wanted to try this way to use the pan bottom as a diffuser for the heat distribution. I think the real benefit of cutting the entire hole is that you can go higher with more coals...- smokeydez

Old Mini Fridge into an A-Maze-N Cold Smoker!
The A-Maze-En smoking unit needs oxygen to keep the pelets/dust lit and generating smoke. It also gives off heat that could melt the cheeses, so you also need to draft air out of the unit to keep it from overheating and melting your product. I was thinking about this and do you guys think you...- smokeydez

BGE vs WSM???
I have a new 22.5" WSM and Performer grill. I've only had them for less than a month, but do not see any problems with their quality. Then again I am not hauling them around or beating on them trying to test their durability, either. I decided to go with them for flexibility in interchangeable...- smokeydez

Masterbuilt Pro 20050412 dual
Well, seeing as how when using other charcoal grills you would typically place the wood directly in the pit with the coals, that should be fine here, too. But one thing I would suggest, and others could correct me if I'm wrong, is to use wood chunk, not chips when placing direclty into the...- smokeydez

WSM Mods
I have a Maverick ET-732, which the meat probe passes through the shortest length nipple in the set just fine. The others are too long, but if you need more you can use them to fabricate the shorter length if necessary.- smokeydez

Mini WSM build
It was a fun little project that I would happily do again. What part of CA are you in? I'm near the Magic Mountain/Lake Castaic area. Not sure about the ash catcher as this is a Smokey Joe Gold, with the vents on the side, and the ashes can collect in the basin without affecting the coals much...- smokeydez

WSM Mods
Yes, I drilled into the smoker. If you use a 3/8" drill bit it will be a snug fit. I used a 7/16" bit which had a little wiggle room that was easily covered with the flat washers during assembly. Or if you do not have a 7/16" bit you can use a 3/8" and just walk it around a little to expand the...- smokeydez

Mini WSM build
After reading a few posts on various forums I decided to try this build out for myself. I got the main parts from Amazon and the smaller items like hardware and paint from Home Depot. The total cost was less than $100. First step was to collect all the necessary parts. I use the tamale...- smokeydez
