The one I saw said it was intended for meat. I've seen guys stick the probe through a foil ball. Can I do the same with the Weber meat thermometer probe?oldsalty said:Webber makes one available at home depot

I have that one. It works fine for meat. No complaints. It does pretty accurately measure ambient air temp so it would probably measure grill temp just fine although I have not tried it.Roguejim said:The one I saw said it was intended for meat.

I'm just trying to get my head around this. You insert thgrantmichaels said:Yup ...
I use it 90% of the time, inside and outside ...
I use a fancier one only for brisket, really ...
I'm still trying to get my head around this. You insert the probe in the meat, and it can give you an ambient air reading, too? Wow.grantmichaels said:Will you cook more than one item at a time?
Because I have to tell you, I rarely pull out the schmancy one's (iGrill2, Mav ET-733 & 735 ) and almost always just use the lazy man's dream anymore ...

That probe looks pretty beefy where the wire goes in. Just wondering how big of a hole I'd need to drill through my kettle, and future WSM to allow it to pass through?oldsalty said:Nice GM that's the one I was looking for!! though I always break out my Mav when working product on the smoker. BBQ is not a lazy man's sport. And I'm to cheap to ruin a good chunk of protein !! hehehe
Yep, thanks.grantmichaels said:plug end goes out through small 1/4" hole, instead of putting the probe through ... make sense? ...
How would you handle a rack of pork spares with this unit?grantmichaels said:plug end goes out through small 1/4" hole, instead of putting the probe through ... make sense? ...
is this a serious question ?Roguejim said:Yep, thanks.

Well, I didn't think it was a stupid question, LDHS. There is at least 1 bbq comp pro who uses probes for his ribs. Yeah, most do not. So, since this a single probe w/dual action, you gotta stick that probe somewhere, no?? Either in the ribs, or a ball of foil, maybe? Just wondering what Grant did as he burned his ribs!grantmichaels said:People probe ribs? =)
Well, shit, I should have probed my ribs last weekend ... I turned them into Bacos.

That sounds reasonable, but it doesn't answer the question. Maybe you didn't use grate probe at all? Sorry about the ribs=)grantmichaels said:It was ~1AM and I was full of both lobster and beer - is how =)
