Bunch of firsts today - first time to use the Smokenator in my Weber, first time to use the Maverick ET-73 I bought and the first time I used Jeff's Rub and Sauce with my ribs.
All set up:
Mmmmm

Smokenator - I liked using it. I had trouble at times keeping the temp below 260* but that's because my Weber lid leaks. I thought I'd have trouble adding coals but it went pretty well. I used the top vent as recommended to control the temps and that worked also.
Maverick ET-73 - I only used the probe for the smoker and didn't set any alarms. It was nice to monitor temps from my recliner! I did have an "episode" where it was reading 232* for a while and then went to three dashed lines. I checked the outdoor unit and it had the same three dashed lines so I turned the units off, restarted them and then all was good again. Turns out my fire had gone out and I had to hurriedly start some coals!
Jeff's Rub and Sauce - I liked the rub but the sauce just blew me away! I ate a couple of ribs with the sauce and that's unusual but I had to have it! I'd recommend anyone who hasn't bought these recipes to do so.
