The timer method that made long smokes less stressful

I started setting alarms for when to check the meat instead of hovering. It keeps the temperature stable and the results are consistently better.

Setting phone reminders for basting changed my game with the grill too. It let me get other stuff done without burning anything. How long do you usually set your first timer for?

Timer method is a smart hack. Keeps you from babysitting the smoker.

Yeah, the timer thing is a total game changer. @gray_torres is right, it stops you from hovering. But honestly, I started setting a second timer on my watch for when I need to add more wood chunks, because my phone timer is just for spritzing. That way I'm not running back and forth checking two things at once. It sounds extra, but it basically automates the whole process so you can actually relax.
