Got me a redi-check thermometer and probe at bed bath and beyond. $30. Has served my needs so far.


My brother in law swears by the thermapen, but that's $100 and you need to open the grill to check.

 

a freakin $100 thermo?! jesus. does it give you an old fashioned after telling you the temp?

 

never heard of slick deals. thanks for the links man.

 

Redi-Chek, BB&B, same here. Works fine. Someday I'll get a better one, but so far so good.

 

Id prefer a Manhattan served up! Haha. It's just an instant read thermometer.

 

not that kind of old fashioned

 

If you want a true instant read, it's worth it. Most instant reads take up to 15-20 seconds to get a temp. Thermapen is like 3 seconds. Note: you can't leave the Thermapen in and close the lid. In theory, you need a good instant read therm for checking the meat temp, and a remote probe style (like the Redi Chek) to monitor grill temp.

 

Doh!

 

Something like this would be good for monitoring the meat temp and the grill temp with one device...

the one i postd, the maverick one, has 2 dual-purpose probes. both probes can be used for air or meat temp... or you can use one for air temp and the other for meat (which is what most people do).

 

Yeah, the Maverick one looks good also.

 

My pellet pooper comes with a built in port for a meat probe!

 

JK. I'm still trying to decide what the hell type I'll end up with next, pellet or high quality charcoal.

 

I've got the same one, little one and wife bought it for me for Fathers Day

 

Come on you know you want to join us on the pellet side

 

Memo to self...

 

Po'Man!

 

What, now you're pimping charcoal?

 

It has its use. Besides, I always need to be prepared in case the power goes out!
