I thought he was about to make a move on the brew myself...Looks like the gnome is eyeballing one for himself.

Has anyone changed out their thermometer on the Kamado Kooker. Any suggestions as to what to try. Mine always seems to be about 50-80 degrees off.
This is the setup I use with my iQue.
These things are 299.00 at our local grocery store and right now they have a 50.00 rebate ..250.000 not a bad price !

One bit of new information I have learned about this cooker in my experience with it so far... It's easier to control your temperature, especially on the low and slow side of things, with Stubbs all-natural briquettes instead of lump. I cooked a couple butts the other day using Stubbs and instead of fighting to keep the temp lower, I actually had to open the vents a little to get it up to where I wanted it. I'll most likely be switching to natural briquettes in the future with this cooker when I'm targeting specific temps at 300 degrees or less... I'll use lump for hotter cooking...
I just purchased one of these smokers, and just wanted to get the consensus here :razz:..
With the Pitmaster IQ, the adapter plate is one option and the ball valve is another option. With the Ball Valve, is there a preference to exactly where to drill it, front, back to ensure you have no issues with ash?
Assuming you mean drip pans, a disposable foil pan shaped to your needs will work.What is everyone using for drop pans, is there a good spot to put it?
Buy some expanded metal and form it into a ring. There are many options available for stitching it together.The basket to put around the coal, stupid question but where can I find it?
In that range, you could be cooking forever! Try 275, and go from there.How much coal are you guys using for a low temp cook 200-230range?
[Besides the HH RTV silicone, has anyone been using the BGE felt/seal on any areas?
I also just bought one of these and put it to work this weekend on an 8 lb. Boston butt. Total time went about 9.5 hours, but there was a spot where the temp dropped down to 190 or so (beer run). I'm a novice to the low-n-slow, and I have a couple questions:
The smoker seemed to fluctuate a fair amount. How much should I allow? I felt like I had to babysit more than normal.

Is there a pictorial for using the RTV sealant? Is this something that I have to do?

I used the foil wrapped pizza stone diffuser method. Anyone putting a water pan on top of the stone? Or just on top of the grate?
