I'm a truck driver and love bbq, currently I have a backyard classic charcoal/wood grill, which I love. Wanting to get into longer cooking items like brisket and pork butts and shoulders I'm planning on getting the camp chef 24 gasser with plans in the future when I build my outdoor kitchen to have it converted to natural gas.. I'm also going to end up buying a gas grill since the charcoal/wood grill intimadates my wife when I'm not home so she can grill simple meals. I've already have found a lot of useful information on this site and I thank you for that. Don't currently have a good digital thermometer and I am looking over that section intently. Unfortunately I don't get to bbq that much as I work three months then take 7 to 10 days off but I fire up when I am home.

Elgine Welcome to the Pit! I can personally recommend the Maverick ET-732. Two probes, one for pit, one for meat. Wireless remote for monitoring temps, and not hanging by the grill. Also the Thermopop, and the RT600 series are good instant reads. If you're not experienced with long cooks, I would start with a pork butt. They are very forgiving, and taste great!
You are in in the right place for BBQ knowledge! 😎Comment

Welcome!
The Maverick ET-732/733 is absolutely a must have. If you get up to Vegas, give a holler and I'll be happy to show you what I have. My wife has no problem with the charcoal grill even though she refuses to use a thermometer. (Thankfully she overcooks her chicken instead of undercooking.)
I know it is almost a holy war, but I'll never be convinced that a gasser can turn out the same as a charcoal/wood burner.Comment
