I’m pretty sure the K type T/C wire could be a problem. Type K is for temps above 1,000, type J is for temps below 1,000. I’ve dealt with both on industrial melting furnaces.

Guineabear: I have the small Tailgater. I’ve used it a lot for burgers, sliding the panel back. I’ve found that fat from the burgers drips down a lot and causes a small fire below. It’s great for other grill but you need to keep it clean after doing burgers.

On a job in Two Rivers, Wi., a guy brought in cinnamon sweet rolls topped with bacon. Pretty damn good.

Hickory pellets give my Tailgater a fit sometimes, they seem harder.
