I received my first off set charcoal smoker grill last year from my wife and daughter. i have had pretty good results but have a few questions.
i am using a chargriller smoking pro model
i seem to be going through an amazing amount of coal through a 5 hour cook session, about a full bag of brickets (i know i should use lump i just dont know what brands are the best once that is figured i will purchase in bulk.)
im sure its just basic fire control, but maybe i m missing something,
i would like to go with a solid thermo probe setup , preferably multiple probes to keep a better eye as to what is going on in there without having to constantly open the main door ( see fire control mentioned above)
so wich thermometer is offering the greatest bang for the buck?
and lastly with my specific grill in mind are there any after market upgrades i should be looking for to make it an even more solid system. i want this smoker to last at least 3 more summers before i switch to a uds
thanks in advance i truly appreciate the help
