This is unbelievable. I can't eat to put it on my WSM
Wait
Was researching this earlier. I use the grill 2 and this just sold me on it. Thanks

I got one last week, been too busy to try it out...damn responsibilities!!!
Oh igrill is easy to use. I have a maverick. And I like this better.
I knew you'd love it.
i ordered a tip top temp a couple days ago to use on my kettles. curious as to how it'll compare to my wsm with pitmaster iq110. if it works decently, i may part ways with my wsm and iq 110.
Don't get rid of the WSM. Tip top works there too.

i know it does, but we have a small house with a small backyard(where my cookers reside) and baby #2 arrived 5 weeks ago, so space is at a premium. my wsm is an 18.5, i have 2 22.5 performers and a converted 18.5 Budlight kettle. if the tip top comes even close to the set it and forget it temp control of the wsm and pitmaster, i could clear up some patio space without loss of functionality and possibly increase it with another tip top to run both performers(or 1 performer and the budlight kettle) at the same time. i love my wsm and with the iq110, it's stupid easy to smoke stuff, but if i can get similar temp control via tip tops, the wsm and iq110 will essentially be a redundancy i could remove to free up space for chairs or charcoal/accessory storage.
Am I missing something. It seems like temp got to the 220's and stayed there for an hour or so and then started dropping?
He was only using 30 briquettes. Load a 18" WSM and let it rip for 12+ hours.
@Darko
I don't have a WSM, so I'm wondering if this thing would work on a kettle, and be an improvement on the snake method? Or at least help to keep the temps more stable.

I got one a few months ago and it works great on kettles. Have used it on my 22 and my 26er. I have only used it with my Slow-n-sear so far, but it should work great for the minion method (which is basically what the SNS is) or a snake. In fact you can probably build a slightly fatter or taller snake than normal and get a longer smoke than your standard snake setup. I don't really need the TTT, but it makes for good peace of mind if you have to leave to run and errand or two while you are smoking something.
I haven't tried it for hotter cooks, but I imagine it should work good for hold a steady 350, 400, 425, etc if you want to bake something on your kettle and maintain as even a temperature as you can.
@Darko I have used it on a kettle, with a snake. Rock steady.
Great news! Thanks guys. I'll pick it up shortly at my local BBQ store.

the pic IS a kettle, isn't it?
It is, but my concern was the temp stability. It seemed to me that it wasn't held for long enough. But I have been corrected.

Here are some more experiences.
With the snake it should run solid for 8-10 hours at
225-250. I only tryed it out with a few pieces of
Charcoal to see if it worked..
Can you run tip top at 275?

Don't see why not.
Now that I think about it, I used it at 350° for chicken.
After using the wsm for the first time and slow cooking on the kettles for years, the tip top looks really appealing to me. I didn't have trouble controlling the temps on the wsm but I find the vents need tweaked here and there to maintain optimum temp. For example, my vents were more closed at the beginning and more open towards the end. I like the idea of an "automatic" top vent. I would trust an overnight cook more with that.

I watched a video on how to use it. It said to leave bottom vents closed. Is that how you guys do it on both kettles and wsm?
I still leave a vent cracked on my WSM.

I leave my bottom vent cracked as well. Not much, about where I would put it when running a snake without using the TTT.
How do you like it?

Check out the link I posted, to a review thread. Several people are really happy with it. Myself included.
I ordered it. It's ttt-01. There's only one model right?

here's the link i ordered from. i'm on prime so I get the free shipping which made it more or less same price as others I checked. Just wanted to make sure I ordered the right thing

I ordered mine from Owens BBQ.
That's the one. Little cheaper via yardandpool.
I went to Owens site. Probably should have ordered there. They seem like genuine BBQ people. I'll have to order some other stuff from them.

Trying it out for first time. Wsm no water. 1 bottom vent half open. Ttt set at 4. My therm says 204 degrees. I was aiming for 275ish. Based off my one and only time using wsm with water, I figured temps would jump up pretty quick running dry but hasn't been the case.

I set the dial to 5. I think I'll leave it be for awhile. Smoke coming out the top feels pretty hot to me. My therm might be off but I can tell from feel that there is cooking going on inside.

Sounds like a good day to me.
Well I'm going to need some practice with both the wsm and the ttt. I put the ttt on before up to temp then had to goof around for a couple hours stabilizing my temp. Mistake 2 was I think I left them on a little long. They came out tender but I didn't care for the flavor compared to my normal on the kettle. I fought to get temp up then it went a little high and the ttt was mostly closed the last hour or so which I think affected the flavor. I'm sure it was user error but I'm going to put the wsm aside for the moment and get back to the kettles.

Hey @mrbill
Congratulations with #2!
I see your in Texas so might not be worth it since I'm in Il, but if you choose to sell the wsm, willing to ship and it's in my price range, hit me up. I'd rather buy from a member and keep it in the club.

Shipping an 18" WSM would be $$$. I talked briefly about trading my 14" 1880 to a member, but even the 14" was gonna be high.
Road trip! Meet half way.

Don't get discouraged
@HoosierKettle . The WSM is a bit of a learning curve, but so much better than the kettle... once you get the hang of it. Run a few yard birds through it. They are cheap, pretty forgiving and season the cooker well.
