    Major Temperature Probe Differences

    I just bought a Maverick 732. I'm concerned about the differences between what the temp probe on the smoker dome lid shows (170), what an oven thermometer I placed in the smoker shows (170) and what the Maverick 732 shows (199). I know temp probes that come on some smokers are usually way off...

    Maverick Model ET-732

    I just received my ET-732 today. I purchased it on Amazon.com for $58.74 with free shipping. So far it looks good and after reviewing the instructions it is pretty easy to operate and is just what I needed. It will be a couple of weeks before I can use it so I will update this post once I do...

    Pork Shoulder - Skin On or Off?

    Some trim it off leaving the fat underneith. Some say leave it on and poke holes in it. Some say score it down to the fat. Some say remove it because the rub will not penetrate it. What do you do?

    Smoker Cleaning

    How often do you clean your smoker? I usually dump the ashes and just clean the water pan and grates really well between smoking. Ever do a complete tear-down and clean? Chris

    Smoker Temperature Issue

    I'm struggling to get, and keep, my ProQ Excel 20 Smoker to, and above, 200 degrees. I put Kingsford Charcoal Briquets in the bottom coal pan, add some lighter fluid and light it up. I wait until the fire dies off and then start putting the grill together. I have the water pan right above the...

    IGrill

    Anybody have iGrill? I'm thinking about getting one to try. Reviews of the Maverick 732 have me concerned and I'm thinking now I don't want one.

    Need a new Meat Thermometer for use with a Smoker

    Hello All, I have a Taylor 1474 that I bought a long time ago but I cannot find the instruction book that came with it. I searched the Internet and cannot find the manual. Since I'm not able to get the 1474 working, I may just buy another thermometer. I like the remote unit that came with the...

    Hello from Gilbert, Arizona

    Hello, I'm just getting into smoking. I purchased a ProQ Excel 20 brand new for $90 about three years ago from my sister-in-law who aquired a bunch of storage units filled with them when the local distributor went broke. Due to relocating to Texas for work, and living in apartments, I have not...

    Converting Smoker to Electric

    Hello, I have a ProQ Excel 20 Smoker. Someone suggested that I convert it from charcoal to electric to have better control over temp. Can anyone suggest where to get parts to do this? Thanks Chris

    First Time Smoking

    Hello All, I finally got to use my ProQ Excel 20 Smoker for the first time yesterday. I bought it three years ago for $90 and it has been in storage ever since because I moved to an apartment and did not have room for it on the balcony. I smoked a 9 pound Pork Shoulder and threw on a Top Round...
