18:53 What's your recommendation when looking to buy a Kamado?
21:00 Which temp should I depend on, the dome thermometer or grate thermometer?

31:30 Have you ever used the ThermoWorks ThermoPop? If so, how does it compare to the ThermoPen Mk4?
34:45 Talking about rubs, how do you pick just one? Or, do you just have a set of favorites and stick with them when cooking outside of your videos?
38:38 On my WSM 22 inch, my bottom grate temp runs about 25 degrees hotter than the top grate? Is that normal?
