yes. They are great for pulling pork, and shredding chicken.

And a replacement Thermapen for mine that was broken:

If you don't have a Thermapen, buy one, now. Best instant read out there. I use it for everything from BBQ to baked chicken. So nice to be able to pull a chicken breast off the grill right when it's done by temp rather than overcooking it a bit to be "sure".

I think Tsy and I both found Bear Paws as reccommended in APL's Serious Barbecue. They are cheap and great.
That Thermapen looks great, and I need a new small thermometer, but $90 for an instant read is a little silly imo, seeing as how you can get a decent one that probably isnt quite as good for around $10. Im sure that one is great, but no way is it 10x better than the competition.

2) In other news, I'm having fits keeping the smoke chamber temperature over 200. I've got a side-by-side smoker, and I've tried everything. Different fuels (charcoal/hardwood), increasing amounts of fuel, open vents, tighter vents (at least in the smoke chamber), you name it, I've tried it. Anyone have any tips to offer about keeping the heat up?
Any reason NOT to get a Weber Smokey Mountain for home use?
This style has everything. Vertical and horizontal, gas grill and even sinks. I could run up some metal tubing through the smoker to get hot water. My biggest concern is that it'll be so heavily weighted on one side, and I'll have the same issue as before with hauling.
I need some advice smokers of the pit. I'm going to be building another trailer, this one devoted solely to smoking/cooking. There are two designs below that I am debating between.
If you did that, you'd have to make it a walk on trailer. Otherwise you could t access the smoking chamber.Any way to center the smokers in the back?
Looks like there is a little bit of space by the hitch-end on that first one. Why couldnt you just solder a smallish untensils box there?

Airflow, airflow, airflow. What do you mean by "tighter vents"? What smoker do you have and how do you light the fuel for it?
I grew up on a farm having to build/repair everything, so it's 2nd nature to me. I built my reverse flow smoker for 1/3 of what I could purchase it for, so it makes economical sense as well.
