Aw, no big deal, nothin' serious goin' on here - or anywhere else, really. Eventually we'll have a group hug, unbunch our panties, and find something else to play with Laughing

I get my WSM on the 9th but won't get to break her in until I'm settled in Copenhagen in Sept Sad . If she purrs along like everyone says I might use the maverick a couple of times for peace of mind and then put it in the back of a drawer until my next move. Wink

I got tired of seeing mine so I finaly threw it in the garbage. I cut the wire off the probe and use it to check for doneness once in a while, generaly leave it in the hole and slide it in and out a couple of times.

I just had a brain storm after looking at mine today while at home with the kids. I have yet to contact Garry or SoEzzy but I want to donate it to the ring. Highest bid wins for "Telekings Mav.". winning bid makes a donation to the ring to keep what we all love running and i'll cover shipping as long as the $9.99 shipping box will cover delivery to the destination. I just checked and have pics and two working probes that are 2 degrees off from sensor to reciever.

Will start another thread as I have no need for the chit! Wink

Are you sure your probing the right spot.

I have had one for about 4 years, I am on my second set of batteries in it. It has never let me down yet. I have done modifications to increase the range and I like to know the temp of my meat so I don't under or overcook my food. I drilled a 1/4 inch hole in the middle of the Lang to run the wires through so the door doesn't crush them and I am very happy with it.

So a brisket will take 10 to 14 hours to cook. Pretty sure it will be under done for at least 10 hours. Why do you need to know the temp for the first 10 hours Question Wink

We all see the point...up to a point. Eventually the temp will need to be known, which would require a measuring device of some sort. A couple degrees can make a steak go from more rare to more done before you know it.

Why do you troll and just complain about everything. I have been doing this for a few years and have learned you can make good food on anything even a hole in the ground. don't you have a life or is this it, just to troll and bitch about anything you dont like, I have a Lang and a Gas hollow#5 smoke hollow gasser. Anything about them you disapprove of ? I heard KC Boss was back, are you him. I also built a pid controller for my cookers, I guess I should have checked in with you first to get your opinion.
