Fire Brick
-
Okay, found the thermal sensor and as it turns out it was right around where I put the bricks, so test#2 starts now with the bricks all the way down on the grease tray.

Jonathon Where is the sensor? It’s good know that it’s not near the heating element (as that would be a bigger problem), but I also want to place my probe away from both the heating element and the native sensor.
Thanks!

With the bricks at the bottom they don’t appear to be as steep but it wasn’t the flattening of the curve I was hoping for.

If I am reading your graph right it looks like you are getting approximately 6 deg of swing, your first run looks to be approx. 20 or more
What am I getting wrong? -
TexLaw The sensor is on the back wall about 3/4th to 4/5th of the way up, right around where the second rack would go.
Jonathon Thanks!

Woo-hoo! I did something right! Maybe all those years of skoolin’ will finally pay off!
That is encouraging to see how much difference the fire bricks made. Just as aside (and with no graph to back it up), I noticed a significant difference when my water pan dried out, but nothing nearly as drastic.

TexLaw the water pan would slow down the cook but it wouldn’t necessarily let the measured temperature. By having more moisture in the air the thermal processing will go faster as the evaporation energy coming off of the meat will be lessened.
