What do you guys suggest as far as a temp gauge goes for the Smokette. Do you just use a standard hand held or do you use a digital that comes up through the vent hole?
Thanks

Howdy BigO,
Do a search on "thermometer" in the either the "open" or "owner's forum" and you'll find as much info and as many opinions as you could possibly want. Most folks do use a remote that goes down the vent. Polder, Taylor and Maverick are a some of the brands.
Welcome aboard. Have a great 4th and smokem' whenever you can.

Using a temp probe helps take the guess work out of it and truly helps make a successful smoke. I even go so far as to use 2 probes in butts, chicken, and brisket. I have come to the conclusion that bb ribs on hooks are about fall off the bone in about 4 hours, snd a 8 lb port butt in about 15 hours.
Ever since I started doing BBQ with a Brinkmann water smoker, I've used digital thermometers and have never had a bad piece of meat come out.
It does take the guesswork out and I'm no champion BBQ'r so it's a must for me.
I've had my 009 Smokette for the last 2 years and I still use it. As far as brand, I have 2 Taylor made from Targets ($14), and I've had them for over 3 years.
I heard alot of negative comments about Polder, so went with the Taylor.
I also use rib hooks for doing the ribs and insert a probe in between the bone.
Hope this is of some help...

where did you get the rib hooks? They say the ones that Cookshack offers do not fit my 008.
