    Just got my BGE and am loving it! What is everyone using for a thermometer? I've found a big discrepancy between the built-in thermometer and my wireless one. Not sure if the calibration is off on one or if there is just that much of a difference in temperature between where the built-in is vs near the meat.

    Are folks using the 'egg genius' fan thingy? Seems like it would be a big help for the overnight smokes.

    Anyone use FOGO charcoal? My 'free' bag of BGE charcoal had half a brick in it so I'm never getting that stuff again.

    If on Facebook, a couple good BGE pages there.

    the BGE gauge known to not be accurate, I use it as just a rough judge to hit target temp and that it is staying stable. I live by the manual meat temp gauges, but getting pretty good BBQ and meats how it should feel. Like ribs hold up 1/3rd and the end 1/3rd should sag. Like my filets rare, so char look on outside and pressing just really soft. My mom bought be a Fireboard WiFi set, but it is more of a pain making sure charged and connected, then having to clean them.

    I think I have one, but haven't used, it would be best when you have to leave. Usually even the large briskets I never leave it unwatched for more than 45 minutes.

    On the Facebook pages plenty of discussion on best charcoal, extra complex because all of them can have inconsistency and rocks.
