    Welcome Chris from the northern Virginia burbs of the nation's capital. Looks like folks have already recommended the good way to evaluate hot spots, with bread or biscuits (I'm a bread man myself). This is a great place, have fun!

      Chris, there are three on that stand. The one facing is a Takamine 12 string, on the left is a Telecaster, on the right a Breedlove 6 string. Glad to welcome another guitarist!

    Welcome from Maryland. One quick method to find all the hot and cold spots in your cooker is to cover it with cheap white bread. The degree of toasting will indicate the hot and cold spots.

      Thanks... sounds like I'm the only one in the world that didn't know about this! Found out I haven't read far enough in my copy of Meathead's book yet -- it's right there on page 117. I need to get rid of my stinkin' job so I can focus more time on what's important!

      Welcome to the pit. I've seen some pit boss owners report 20-50 degrees lower than set point on their grills depending on grate location, once you figure that out you should be able to compensate with set temp and be pretty happy with it.

        Thanks... strangely, that's what I fully expected to see on mine, but it wasn't the case. So now I'm scratching my head even more. I'll post more on that in a different thread.

        Welcome to the Pit! Be sure to check out Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist for a slightly used kettle.

          I've gotten at least 4 this way. Sold one after reconditioning and gave another to a young guy at work. All Performers.

                Welcome to The Pitmaster Club! Thanks for giving us a try with the Free Trial membership and for introducing yourself. We hope you’ll decide to stick around! Don't fret, I too find my renditions of common recipes take longer than written. For instance with ribs I'm usually 5-7hrs pretty consistently. Lots of it depends on the thickness of the meat vs the meat used in recipe development. Thicker meat takes longer for the heat to make it to the center to do its thing, so expect variances.

                Since you’re new here, please check out our homework assignment post for new members, it contains a few how-tos and please-dos. This will help you learn your way around so you can get the best experience from our forum.

                Also, it's very important that you:
                1. Give us an email address you actually use. You can check the email we have on file for you by looking up to the top-center of the graphic logo from any page. You currently cannot change your email on file with us yourself since it’s tied to your Pitmaster Club account as well as our payment processor if you’re a paying member. Don’t worry though, we’d be happy to change it for you, just click here to fill out an email change request.
                2. Add the domain AmazingRibs.com to your email safe list. We NEVER spam! This is important so you can receive special deals we occasionally work out for our members, receive notices about your account, such as if you’re up for renewal or are ever drawn as our monthly "Great Giveaway" Monthly Sweepstakes winner, which is open to all USA members. (Paid members get automatic monthly entry, whereas Free Trial members or general public must enter manually.) We’d hate to have to pick another person because you don’t answer us!
                Hope to hear & see more from you!
