I use the grill probes for guidance and have a nice kitchen probe ($16) that I rely on for final temps. Ok I will look for a good regular kitchen probe. Had one and I left it outside accidentally. ☹️
unforgiven Posted February 18, 2021 Report Posted February 18, 2021 You can find temp probe at the Dollar store. Anything I have is the best firearms, accessories. My wife deserves the best, I won't cheap out. Good kitchen tools are not cheap and cheap tools don't last. That's if you use them. Wife cooks all day everyday we rarely eat carry out. Just my 2 mag's.

Just my 2 mag's. I’ve tried a handful of probes. Most are the same manufacturer and different casings. I’ve found the folding ones (at least the 4-5 I have tried) all sucked. I’ll take a picture of the one I have that has been awesome and even after long periods of time continues to read accurately. I test every so often in an ice bath and run the calibration.

Let’s see how well I do the first time. Looks and smells amazing so far
DNP Posted February 18, 2021 Report Posted February 18, 2021 Tried to get my wife to take one and send it to me. She said no. I’ll be home later. She did say it says NSF CDN on it. scrww it. I looked it up. It’s this one: https://www.homedepot.com/p/CDN-ProAccurate-Black-Digital-Food-Thermometer-Q2-450X/204211087 might find it cheaper elsewhere. I paid $16 at my meat market
unforgiven Posted February 18, 2021 Report Posted February 18, 2021 Before this was the Oxo and it was a lollipop type that worked.

Might be the best we have ever had. 🤤

ARTrooper Posted February 19, 2021 Report Posted February 19, 2021 Thanks guys, I think I am gonna be addicted to smoking things. Even after an hour and two run and cokes, I still taste that wonderful smoky flavor

unforgiven Posted February 19, 2021 Report Posted February 19, 2021 Nice job practice, practice, practice summer's coming brother 🍺🍺😁

That new smoker will make your work easy.
