So, I've got a couple pork shoulders on the smoker today and I went to stick my digital thermometer in for the first time today and it read 220 after just an hour and a half on smoke. I tried 2 different display units, but I only have the 1 probe... getting tired of replacing them every few uses.
In a frenzy I ran down to the local job lot store and picked up 2 good ol' fashioned instant reads for $3.99 each and tested them in ice and boiling water... both were spot on. I like being able to leave the probe in the meat and not having to keep poking holes every time I want a temp read, but it hardly seems worth the cost and hassle to keep replacing probes.
Anyone have a reliable digital suggestion (wireless would be awesome) or should I stick with the trusty $3.99 deals?
