I think Chris G has said left of center with point facing toward right? Maybe he’ll jump in and comment on rationale, I may have that wrong…So, knowing all this, what's the best way to place a single brisket on the RT-700, for best results on a low-&-slow smoke?
@Plumberguy I found the thinnest part (flat) on the left and the thickest part (point) on the right. The right side close to the stack appears to be hotter.I think Chris G has said left of center with point facing toward right? Maybe he’ll jump in and comment on rationale, I may have that wrong…
Interesting, did you seal the lid?I just did a Biscuit Test on my new RT-700. The far left side was by far the darkest, with mid left to far right being fairly even. That being said, the bottoms of the Top Right ones were a bit darker than the far left ones, with the back edges of the bottoms approaching black.
*Note, I have the Cold Smoker attached on the right hand side, so perhaps that is why my left side is darker than the right side (on the tops)... just a wild guess. I might put in some fire bricks and do the test again and see if I can get it more even across the entire grate. I don't really like that the warmest part appears to be where the RT-700's temp probe is.

Thanks for the response.Yes I put gasket around the top/bottom/sides of the actual smoker. In hindsight, perhaps it would have been smarter to put the gasket on the under-lid, as there is some smoke that escapes at the 2 lid hinges since I don't have gasket under them. Probably doesn't matter too much I figure.
My wife’s RT-340 is hotter on the left side, my RT-700 is hotter on the right side.Thanks for the response.
I was surprised to see the hot side on the left.
Okay, that makes sense, thanks.My wife’s RT-340 is hotter on the left side, my RT-700 is hotter on the right side.
