Gravity can be a challenging thing at times

I tackled my first project yesterday and smoked 3 blocks of creamed cheese.
1. jalepeno jelly 2. spicy mustard base and sweet bbq rib rub 3. honey and homemade plum jam 2hrs@210 Turned out really good and it's definitely something I'll do more of going forward. Didn't take any pics but it was worthy. Not sure what I'll try next but I'm leaning towards trying burnt ends from some of the chuck roasts I have. On the upside, I decided if I use and feature honey on the smoker in a video or pics on by honey page, that smoker......tax deduction. boom. |

Only downside to the Gravity series is the actual setup of it, it took 2 of us a few hours. But cooking wise it is amazing. Oh and it definitely gets up to 700 degrees for searing with no problem. |

Chicken is good because: 1. It is cheap. 2. It doesn't take long. 3. It is good. I presume you know, but BBQ revolves around internal temperature. Make sure you have a good instant read thermometer (I like thermoworks) and probes are nice, but they are less necessary than the instant read. Eat well, my friend. |

Don't trust the included probe. At all. Or the app, but do load the app and randomly run it for updates. (Yes, updates for your grill). Shake the charcoal grate very well each use or fire will be hard to get rolling. It's possible for the fan to suck in a hot coal or something and melt. Be mindful of that. Overall it's a great grill, but it's quirky and it's not something that will last for a decade plus. Just some FYI's when you pick. It consumes wood/charcoal at a fair clip. I know CharGriller is in the game now and might be worth looking into. I hear it's better insulated and the heat shield is better at preventing raging fires. |

I checked a bunch of smokers out before getting a yoder 640s. It was the most expensive but seemed to be built the best. Built in Kansas For the Win!!!!. I am not sure what parts would be imported but it is probably limited to the fireboard electronics.
I love the thing. I can monitor it from my office on the other side of town. |
