I use this one.... Bluetooth, so it runs from a smartphone app.

I like to have one of each so I can do weekend/classy work on the charcoal and nightly "I just want dinner before the kids start yelling" stuff on the gas.

I've been using a charcoal Weber with gas start for about 11 years.

Weber 15501001 Performer Deluxe Charcoal Grill, 22-Inch, Black with Classic Accessories Cover https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0187UUWAW..._ziSizbZN85DF8

For the last two years I've also had access to a decent built in gas grill. I find the Weber to be just as easy and quick to get fired up and up to temperature as the gas.

I went way overkill on this as I am a tool snob that prefers to buy once, cry once. I use a Fluke 54-2 dual logging thermometer and a Fluke 80PK-25 food-grade temperature probe. Mine are the older versions as I have been using them since 2004. Logging temps helped me characterize each of my cookers. Nowadays I mostly just use the piercing probe to check meat temps. I have a few other probes for other applications, including bullet casting.

I'm going to try smoking a pork butt on my Weber kettle for Memorial Day using the snake method. Got any hints and tricks? How about a suggested rub?

Just smoked a butt (cut in two) on the kettle using a slow n sear yesterday. I didn't wrap it or power through the stall and, predictably, it ended up taking just forever.

What I finally did (12 hours in) was finish it in the oven. I may do that in the future; most of the smoke flavor is added in the first four hours or so.

I'd suggest trying the slow n sear; even if you don't like it for smoking it's great for other grilling too.

I used Meathead's Memphis Rub from amazingribs.com; it was pretty good!

This thread is awesome. I may need to buy a smoker. What would the Glock 19 of smokers be?
