Maverick Tip Top

[TheDude]

I get to temp with the bottom vents open, then shut down and let
It do its thing.

The last part of the instruction sheet says that you may need to adjust vents.

I keep mine just slightly cracked open, works a charm.

I have one I have used once. Tip top and snake combo on my OTG. Bottom vent open about 3/16" 2x2 snake with an occasional block of oak on top. Held between 240 and 259 for over twelve hours. Opened the kettle once about 6 hrs in. Checked temp every half hour with my probe hanging through the top of it. I think it kept it from working it's best. Could not close all the way down if it needed. Stayed about 1/4"open. I drilled my lid and installed a thermometer to fix that issue. Im going to let it run overnight Friday or Saturday with another shoulder. Had it set at about 4 if you look at it from the side in relation to the top edge. I will let you know how it goes.

addicted to charcoal......

Mine just came yesterday.  I have hesitated on getting one since I can usually get my vents dialed in to where I don't need to touch them, but am never comfortable enough to leave for a few hours and assume the temp will stay where I want it to.  I figure this will be a good babysitting option when I am going to be away from the grill for a while.  I'm doing a test run now and will let everyone know how it goes.

I got one about a month and half ago and it has been siiting in my cabinet since.  I forgot all about it.  I bought it out of sheer curiosity.  Not much of a gadget guy but it looked interesting.  I too will do some test runs and will report my findings.  I don't get the bottom vent closed thing.  You need air flow.

Can't wait to try this thing out.  For the good reviews and the price it seemed like I didn't have a choice.  Plus all I have is weber kettles and smoker.  Seemed like I didn't have an option :-)

You guys have me sold. I will be purchasing one soon. Thank you.

Only rule is you have to give it to the next guy who wants to try one if/when your done with it.

I use the snake method. Gives great control.

I use the same minion in the WSM as I would with any other cook. I don't think the setup in the instructions would last very long.

Anyone know the size or where to get the silicone attaching band?

TIA

[HoosierKettle]

I can check mine but if memory serves me it is 5"
