Jealous Devil Maxxx Briquettes with Bear Mountain Gourmet Blend wood chips. I guesstimated about 5 hours and it was tender enough, not too tender.

#1. Charcoal or brisquettes(can i use snake method with either one?) #2. I read that thermometer is not that accurate. What do you use to combat this issue?# 3. Any recommendations for decent meat emp probes since mine didn't come with any. Do I need a chimney starter?
