Trying out David Parrish perfected via Doc Blonder later with the SV before serving. Got the smoke with cherry going right now. Brisket flat cut in half. One piece has Steen's syrup rubbed on it before the rub.
Hi, my name is Darrell. I'm an OTR truck driver for over 25 years. During my off time I love doing backyard cooks. I have a 48" Lang Deluxe smoker, Rec-Tec pellet smoker,1 Weber Genesis 330, 1 Weber Performer (blue), 2 Weber kettles (1 black and 1 Copper), 1 26" Weber kettle, a WSM, 8 Maverick Redi Chek thermometers, a PartyQ, 2 SnS, Grill Grates, Cast Iron grates, 1 ThermoPop (orange) and 2 ThermoPens (pink and orange) and planning on adding more cooking accessories. Now I have an Anova sous vide, the Dragon blower and 2 Chef alarms from Thermoworks.
Scotch: Current favorite- The Arran (anything by them), Glenmorangie 12yr Lasanta, sherry cask finished. The Balvenie Double Wood, also like Oban 18yr, and The Glenlivet Nadurra (Oloroso sherry cask finished) among others. Neat please.

Realistically it is built like a couple bricks that you could use to build a Smoke House.
Much, much easier use from the start compared to the Mavericks, however the Maverick alarm(singular) is nicer to turn off and I have no beef with setting the Maverick alarms. Course if you turn the sound off on the base unit it mutes and the receiver remains active.
Range is the same for me, they both lose signal right where I need it most, next to my bed. Wifi might fix that. Until then it is the couch in the den for over nighters.
Definitely need some bigger holes for the probes. Got 'em through the vents of the 26 right now. Shouldn't be any problem for the Pit Barrel Cooker.

The quick automatic sync is very nice. Mine seems to go about 10' or so further inside my house, for signal. My Mavs would lose signal on my nightstand, this actually works on my nightstand.
Naive question, I know but I'll ask anyhow. Huskee and Jerod Broussard, am I going to have to drill holes in my units for the probes when (fingers crossed) I get my Thermo for Christmas? I have two upright (non-insulated) smokers with tight doors. I'm currently using a Traeger thermo that is a tight fit through the door but it works. I broke my cord on an older model. If the answer is yes to the drilling, I am noting by the comments that the probes are a little large in diameter compared to the cord. What do you use to seal the gap between the cord and the extra space?
I don't seal any holes, yet, maybe. These will be the biggest but even then I don't see that hole with the multiple wires clogging it up making a significant difference. You could always use a grommet. I got rid of mine.

I just route mine either through a vent hole (PBC) or under the lid (kettles and Yoder) but very gently. Lots of folks would rather not do the under the lid thing, and I don't blame them. I can't speak for how to seal the larger probe hole of the Smoke probes if you choose to drill. Maybe a little foil wad?

I just seal those drill holes with a nut and bolt of the proper diameter when not in use. When in use, I rarely worry about the space around the cord ... but the foil idea should work fine if it's an issue.
Hit 190 internal. Double checked with Thermapen, re-positioned probe, back down to 162 internal. Good thing I've been averaging almost 300 all afternoon, Select flats don't play nice.
The thinner dude was at 200 internal when the thicker dude was at 180 internal. Bark looks good and I still plan to allow it to chill and then reheat it SV style. It just might not need the 4 hours I'll give the other one.
