Hey guys...
Just discovered this forum yesterday. I recently purchased a new Bar-B-Chef offset smoker, and I was looking for a thermometer for it when I stumbled across this site.
Man... the things I didn't know about smoking. I've always just "winged it"...lol. Lucily I've always had some pretty good results, but I can tell now that I'm about to try all kinds of new stuff. I love to cook all types of food, and grilling outside with some frosty beverages ranks at the top. I'm really looking forward to reading some and trying out some new recipes... Maybe I can even add my own from time to time... I don't like giving away too many secrets though....lol.
One thing I've noticed a lot of you use from reading some posts, is the digitl meat thermometers. I've never tried one, so if y'all won't mind giving me some insight into those... Do y'all just leave them in the meat the entire time, with the cord stretching out the grill to the monitor? Does this not let out smoke? Like I said... I'm a newb to the "proper" ways... After finding this place, I guess it's time to start doing it right.
Thanks,
