Update on my SNS

[RonB]

I must admit that I was discouraged with the performance of the SNS on my two test runs. But I did have a little smoke coming out from under the edge of the top in several places - not much though, (or so I thought).
So I ordered a nomex gasket, (through Meathead's link ), and installed it today. Another test burn is going on now and I'm impressed. Since getting above 220F it has stayed between 220F and 237F. That includes lifting the lid to simulate checking the meat several times. So I just dry brined some ST Louis ribs for tomorrow. I expect them to turn out heavenly ~ Ron

By the way - is St Louis the patron saint of BBQ??

Airflow is the often the biggest culprit with wayward temps. Glad you got 'er figgered out! (We expect to see pics of this rib cook!)

I got my SnS for Christmas and have only used it for 1 low/slow cook so far. I followed the directions and was very impressed that it held a rock-steady 240 with next-to-nil fluctuations.

It's a great accessory - keep using it.

RonB, My frequent Faux Pa is to not get the Lid Closed Properly? I think it's My OldTimers setting in?

I use binder clips to keep my kettle tight. I would screw up trying to install a gasket
