Out of all the remote temp probes I have used, it's hard to beat that Maverick ET-732.

I'm currently using the iDevices Weber iGrill2. Strangely, Weber bought it from iDevices :confused: . I do like being able to monitor temps from my iPhone.
that Weber iGrill looks cool but it doesn't look like it has a pit probe. I use a Kamado and don't have the programmable computer so knowing my temp is important.
It comes with two meat probes, but four ports. The ambient probe is sold as an accessory.

I'm pretty sure when I bought mine (when it was an iDevices product) it only came with one probe. I caught it on sale at Amazon for $80, then ordered 3 extra probes from iDevices.

3.5 or so hour in, one side got sauced. Trying out this new sauce the Mrs. picked out.

Traeger Junior. It is about 4 years old. It was a "let's see if I like a pellet smoker" buy. Not knowing that I will love using it. :banghead: I definitely have a "I wish I got something bigger" regret.

(pre reno backyard shot.. :rotfl: )

It originally came with just a 3 setting controller and I upgraded it to an Ortech digital controller. I also added a hopper extension so I could smoke longer without adding pellets.

If this thing ever goes.. I want to upgrade to a pellet smoker that has "searing" capabilities.

You pretty much described a Yoder YS640 with GrillGrates... made in Kansas, USA. :good:



They also make a YS480 that has a little less real estate.

Forgot to post the final product pic.

Got distracted while spraying PGR + FAS so the spares were in the smoker longer than I wanted. It then was FTC for awhile longer until dinner.

It was "fall off the bone" and the Mrs liked it a lot.

Nice work! That looks as good as a smokehouse restaurant.

The YS640 is nice.

However, I have my eye on Fast Eddy's™ by Cookshack PG500 Pellet Grill.

But with anything.. I'll do my research and decide when the times comes.

Thanks dfw! Now I need to put my big boy pants and try a brisket. I'm always afraid since a whole brisket cost a ton compared to ribs. :rotfl:

I don't think you can go wrong with a Cookshack. They are made in Oklahoma, USA. :good:

Did some pulled pork.

Total weight was 11 lbs but it was two pieces. Took about 8 hrs to get done. I did not foil it during the cook. Took it off the smoker at 198 IT then it sat FTC for a few hours.
