Maverick Tip Top
« on: June 22, 2016, 10:26:39 AM »
Buy one. Buy one now. Using it for the first time today. Instructions say it should hold +/-15°. Smoker has been holding 237-240°, rock solid.

Is anyone concerned about creosote from too low of a draft when that shuts down? How open is it when running and does it ever shut closed?  Maybe I am old school thinking of regulation the amount of incoming air to control the burn and the vent to control draft.

It's open 99% of the time. Think I've seen it close to colsed, 2 or 3 times today. When it does close, it's not for long.

I was also standoffish about using the top vent for control, as well. My WSM likes to run hot though. This is the first time I've really been able to hold a decent temp. I'm ready for brisket now.

Interesting.  I've seen a slew of this things in use all of the sudden on the facebook groups and have been wondering if it is worth it or not.  I don't really have problems controlling my temps, but it would be nice to be able to walk away for a few hours and know that things will remain in check.

Soon as I see how long it will go, I'd have no problem with an overnight cook. No alarms needed.

Didn't really take any pics. Wish I would have. Hour rest and dinner is over. Temp is still holding strong. Pig hit the grill at 9:45am. It's now 8pm.

How does it stick to the top of your WSM? Those instructions just say, "pressing down slightly to seat the gasket to the lid's arc"  That keeps it on? 
As for setting temperature, say you want 250º, and it's 90º ambient - start at setting 3 and adjust from there?
How do you have your lower vents positioned?

Thanks in advance.

Yep. Press slightly and it stayed all day. Bottom vents were open till I hit temp, then closed down. Stayed rock solid for almost 11hrs. @G19

Super glad to hear, I will be ordering one soon with some left over Father's Day money.  I have a WSM and Performer so sounds like one will work for both.  To be honest my Performer with the Smoke N Sear holds temperature very good  with only what I would call some drifts so this should catch that early. 
Thanks TD
