My fully loaded (for now) 22" kettle: SnS, FireBoard 2.0 Drive, Pit Viper, and SnS Drip Pan

The worst here are the wild winds, but air temperature doesn't vary too much. Maybe it will get worse in the summer when San Francisco's fog arrives, it goes from sunny nice and warm to overcast, cold and windy with the fog: https://twitter.com/KarlTheFog

Well impressed with the temperature stability of the cook using the Fireboard and Pit Viper, especially for a kettle. The ambient temperature during the cook must have been quite stable as well. Not like here in Scotland with 4 seasons in a day.

LOL, I don't think I count. When it is your job to post, it kinda happens. Troutman

You need to slow down, you're approaching 11k and we'll have to honor you with half a dozen congratulatory posts. It's getting to be like birthdays around here

Yea all my kettles and WSMs have the same setup. Hell, I don't even know how to use them without a fan control anymore

Good work.

Great set up!

That’s what mine looks like. I gotta get off my fat £€
And clean that puppy.

fcy you can stop anytime you want

Yes, Try wrapping one at ~160F and I think you find it will be more moist. Do let it rest and cools off a bit before you pull/shred it.

I run a Primo XL. The controller is life. Well not exactly, I am sure I could eventually learn how to do without one. But I do not have to, because I had the CyberQ from day one. Sure is easier!! Makes low and slow set and go to sleep. I only go without the fancy stuff for hot and fast - and that is most often chicken. Less than an hour cook time.

For direct grilling I am glad I found an el cheapo kettle on the curb! The Primo has a NASTY habit of spitting out a fireball when used hot and/or direct. The kettle? Not so much. It is a lot tamer. And more eyebrow friendly

everything is perfect now, I don't need more cookers or cooker add-ons! I don't, really.

[fcy]

hahaha I was thinking of you with the "(for now)" in the title!

And with the FireBoard holding so well I feel good about trying a brisket for the first time too

[fcy]

On my next butt I'm thinking about either cook at higher temperature (people here told me they got good results even at 325/375) or wrapping it with foil when it hit the stall. Not sure which one I'll try first.

I decided to clean it a couple weeks ago in anticipation of starting to grill again, the insides had the carbon pieces that look like painting flaking off.
