    That one fellow in the man grate video is that the fellow that played McManus in Deuce Bigelow? Sure looks like him.

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

    ThermoPop. I don't have a Thermapen so I can't compare other than a spec sheet, but mine meets my needs. image

    Surprised Smokeware cap hasn't been mentioned (unless I missed it), it was a very popular Father's Day gift.

    The Smokeware cap is a sleeper - it's nice for several reasons.  First of course is that you don't need to use 2 caps - 1 to cook, and 1 for shutdown.  Don't need to worry about having the ceramic cap fall off and break.  Smokeware stays on all the time.  I was a little concerned about shutting down with the Smokeware cap.  After a few cooks, it gets pretty well sealed, and shutdown is about the same as with ceramic.  Don't need to worry about DFMT top changing position when the egg is opened.  For those in rainy climes, obvious advantage...  Relatively inexpensive - about a tenth of a Q-unit (1 Q-unit = $300).

    Ok. How about Smokeware? It's an excellent made product that put simply works.

    1. Thermopen or Thermopop depending on price range
    2. Smokeware top
    3. Maybe some rubs...Most here like Dizzy Pig, I also like the Oakridge BBQrubs.
