[schoolsmoker]

I am new here...son has been on here for a while..and told me about this site...I am also new to smoking...I have a electric smoker...My question is...I have a remote meat thermo...can I use it to find out the temp of the inside of smoker?..Something aboout sticking the probe into a potatoe?

Can anyone tell me if this will work?


Thanks much

Yer son should have told you to make a Roll Call forum post to intro yourself ;{)

Welcome, and:

The potato thing keeps the temp probe at grate level, where you want to know the temp. slide it all the way thru the spud so about an inch or more is sticking out the end of the tuber.
