Hey there...
I've made a few posts on here, but this one issue has finally frustrated me enough to post about it. I have an ET-732 and LOVE it. But I can't figure out a good way to place the ambient temp probe. Obviously, the meat probe goes into the meat. But the other one is what I can't quite figure out. I place the transmitter unit on top of the smoker and hang the cables through the vent on my MES 30". This tends to cause the ambient probe to be very near the outer wall and I don't think that I get a correct temp. It's usually about 30-60 degrees away from what my MES thermometer shows. If it touches a rack or food, the temp gets even stranger. Should I thread it down to about mid-level through all the grates and just let it dangle? There's gotta be a better solution that I just haven't found... thanks for the advice, guys!
