She is all seasoned up and ready for Christmas Eve. I have a son who asked Santa for some smoked ribs. I was going to smoke a ham as well
My gauges will be here on Thursday to complete this build (for now).

Thanks fellas!!!!
I even threw a little meat on there towards the end of a 6 hour season. I know, I know why no q-view? I didn’t figure hot dogs for the kids would get you guys excited. I didn’t even taste them just fed them to the kids with some Mac and cheese.
Question: has anyone built their own temp probe holder for a temp probe to get an accurate reading on the internal temp reading? I know they sell them but just curious if anyone has attempted it.
I used hamburger grease. You could melt a big jar of krisco and use that if you want. As far as the outside I don't think you need to season it. I would paint the outside with high temp paint.
I just take any ole chunk of smoking wood and drill a hole in it at a slight angle so the probe goes in and the lead is lower than the tip so moisture doesn't get in the probe. I have several of them lying around, I really like them because you can set it any where or just move it over without any hassle.

R.C. you are the thinking man's thinking man. Nice solution and cheap to replace.

I got the gauges in the mail today and got them installed. I have gone through the check list and we are officially a go. I am picking up some ribs in the morning and the ham is in the fridge ready for the maiden voyage/smoke on Sunday. I will be sure to take some q-view photos to let you guys know how it goes. Very excited!!! I feel like a kid at Christmas again!!!!!!! On that note Merry Christmas gents!!!!!!
Ahh RC, not simple minded, just looking for the simplest solution.
I love those "why didn't I think of that" moments when you see a simple solution to something you've been bouncing around in the brain cage for a while.

Good morning gents, it’s a brisk morning here in the south west region. So last night as I was shopping for ribs my eyes locked onto a nice looking 15 lbs brisket, it looked a little lonely so I put him in my cart for a ride. This morning he is snuggling in on the iron dragon for tomorrow’s dinner. I figured what would go great with a ham and ribs???? Brisket of course.
So far so good with controlling the temp on the dragon.
Trusts me pics are coming........I will snap a few later when I put the ribs on, stay tuned in!!!!!!!
Giving you the play by play action here: brisket has been on for 5 hrs, just put on some ribs. I am already starting to drool. Here’s my proof so no man can say “aint never happened” !!!!! More pics to come
Nice Q view... well done.
And the pooch looks like its waiting for "oopsies" to drop on the floor.
