Raining pretty consistently here in the DC Metro area, but that didn't stop us from getting a fire going:

Served with a soy-ginger-garlic dipping sauce, rice, and spicy Szechuan green beans:

It was enough to make us go:

    Dayum dude...what a plate! Nice job with the Asian theme!

    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    @SmokeyPitt - thanks!  I love cooking Asian food or with Asian elements.

    Also, here's the green bean recipe, in case anyone wants it (I recommend stirring in a healthy grind of Szechuan peppercorns right before taking it off the heat so you get the characteristic ma la numbing effect):

    Superb! Thanks for the beans recipe. how about the sauce? :) 

    I love Szechuan peppercorns. The ma la tingle is great. There is a restaurant in Chinatown here that specializes in the ma la flavor and is one of our favs.

    Thanks, everyone!

    @caliking - the sauce recipe is:

    1/2 cup tamari (you can use regular soy sauce if you don't have tamari on hand)
    1/2 cup rice vinegar
    2 Tbsp. garlic, minced
    2 Tbsp. ginger, minced
    2 Tbsp. honey
    2 tsp. sesame oil
    2 tsp. sesame seeds

    Combine by whisking thoroughly, or just hit it with the immersion blender for a few seconds.

    Butter under the skin sounds good. Try some lime slices sometime for a little different twist.

    Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.

    Thanks for the recipes.

     I see you left your maverick out in the rain. Are they waterproof? I have the older one without the external antenna (I added one though), but have always wondered about leaving it outside.

    @caliking:  as I understand it, the older model (ET-73) is NOT waterproof.  The ET-732, which I have, is waterproof as to precipitation (e.g., buttons are raised membranes so no food/water can enter the housing), although I wouldn't submerge it in liquid.

    I used the comparison that @jfm0830 has on his site when I was researching, and found it helpful:  http://blog.grillinsmokin.net/blog_main/blog/files/maverick_et732.php

    @caliking The out of the box model ET-73 had a waterproof base station/transmitter. The receiver that you bring indoors into the house is NOT waterproof. Having said that: I have no idea what the antenna mods you made have done to the waterproof capabilities of the base station unit.

    I used to use my ET-72, which is a two probe grill thermometer that was not waterproof, outside in the rain and snow all the time. You can use a one gallon zip lock bag to keep it out of the rain. Put the open side down and zip it up so the wires just can pass through the remaining opening. I eventually switched to a small tupperware type lidded storage container. I made a small hole on the side about 1/2" up from the base to pass the wires through.
