I love it! - Done! I flashed the idea by Fred Pirkel and he seems to think the magnet's strengh (5 lb. pull) would be okay. In fact he's developing and testing a new module with a magnetic cradle. What were some of the early warming signs (if any) did you notice? ←

Be careful with the magnets on your Procomm transmitter - I killed my first one doing the same thing. Oh yeah - here's my rig

Raichlen's books are more grilling books vs. true BBQ books. Big difference.

Two good references are Smoke and Spice by Cheryl & Bill Jamison and Barbecue Secrets by Ron Shewchuk. Realize that the recipes for real Q are pretty simple on the order of "Brisket - rub with spice mixture, place in smoker, pull when done. It can be that simple; in fact I've got a couple of BBQ books that are written pretty much like that. Good Q in many cases comes down to expierence and practice. Best of luck!
