We all rave about how easy these things are to use and for the most part they are, but they have their own little quirks about them. To me that's half the fun of using these things, I try to keep a log and include things like outdoor temperature, over cast or sunny etc.
Keep us in the loop and good luck!

That does look good. Yes you should be proud and happy with that.

Well didn't do super great this weekend but all the scores were super close and had some stiff competition with some big local names. But still had a blast and learned a few things. Like drinking until 2 am makrs getting up at 6 to start my pork really hard. Lol. Only 3 judges pet table and the boxes were pretty small. Thats why only 3 pieces of chicken. Those were the best ones i had
