Grilling season NEVER ends.
Get one of these if you get the chance. Why bother running in and out of the house when you have technology?
This is the exact thermometer we have! When we've smoked overnight, that thing is as needy as I'm lead to believe a newborn baby is... ugh alarms!
We've got the Broil King Keg, since June this year.
So far have had awesome success with pork side ribs (3-2-1 with smoke, foil wrapped+ juice, final smoke with bbq sauce), a huge brisket, and a pork shoulder. The brisket didn't "crack" to become perfect shredded texture, but it was the most moist phenomenal texture pork evar. So it wasn't a total loss!
It's tough to keep it at a low enough temp without it going out. We're refining our vent open/closing techniques, charcoal placement and amount, etc. Once we're better, it'll be lower temp smokes for fish (salmon!) and hard cheeses, and jerky. Mmmm...
Pretty pumped to keep having amazing smoked meat all winter!
