#1 If smoking overnight, USE A REPORTING THERMOMETER!!!!!!! Set it to monitor grate temp and alert you when it drops. Verify it can wake you from a sound sleep; make sure your phone is not set to Do Not Disturb; ensure the probe is sufficiently charged along with the phone. Plenty out there to...

Great info! Yeah I can already tell I placed the probe wrong. It’s going up way too fast. It’s showing 190 now. I’ll wait to 200 and pull it to test and readjust the probe.

...was off to rest down to 150°, planning on turning the oven on at that point to keep them warm. Sometime in the night my wireless meat thermometer battery died and I didn't wake up until 7:00. At 7:00 the internal temperature was 128°. My question is is this safe sitting in the danger zone...

I agree with @Brokenhandle i try to not open the cooker at all unless I have to. Also have you verified with another thermometer that the smoker temp is actual what it’s reading?

Keep going. A word of advice and it can't be said enough...invest in a multi-probe thermometer with hi/lo temp alarms.Once you do this you'll never have to ask those questions again.

I have the Alpha Grillers Meat Thermometer Digital and have enjoyed it so much I bought a second when I lost the first! It's $20 normally, on sale for $16 right now.

...my gas barbecue. I put ice in a tray. I put a rack over the ice. I put a second tray of ice on the upper rack of the BBQ. I put a remote thermometer in and keep an eye on it. I usually have to add more ice at least once. Over that ambient temperature, I usually just give up and wait for...

The real question is, was it probe tender? Cooking to a final IT only is a huge mistake on brisket. When the hand held probe goes in the feel should be soft, like pushing into a peanut butter jar. There are scientific reasons why.

...and also find out why it's possibly achieving temps beyond it's design capabilities.Again as I said in my original post verify the actual operating temp with an independent thermometer that you know to be accurate (boiling/ice water test) to verify that your unit may actually being running at...

Looks like things are moving along nicely. If you're gonna wrap it, I would drop the temp from 325. High temp I cook my butts is 265 maybe 275 sugar in the rub dependent.. See where it is with an accurate thermometer, and wrap somewhere around 165ish... then go to probe tender.

...frame, so it got air and ran out of chips (only had a cup in there, but usually that smokes for many hrs). After spending $188 for that thermometer, I couldn't help myself but to put it in. lol Yea, I proved that numerous times on my last few batches. Thanks! :D Yea, CY has a Cajun...

So far it works really well. I tested it against my instant read thermometer and it was always within a degree of it. It is nice that it shows the ambient temperature as well as the meat temp. This shows every time you opened up to lid. There is another view if you choose.

I hear you. There are external smoke generators that pipe the smoke to a chamber but I don't know if it would be worth the investment.

My instant read thermometer decided to up and leave. ?? It's been stored until needed in the same drawer slot for a couple years. Boom! Gone.?? What should I look into as an replacement that won't break the bank?? Thanks in advance.

I have an early model Meater wireless thermometer. It will not transmit the data via Bluetooth when inside the steel enclosure of the smoker.

Again, thanks for your help with this. I tested my independent therm and it shows 33F in a ice bath and 212F in boiling water so it seems to be fairly trustworthy. I ran a more documented test and her is what I found. The smoker digital consistently indicated lower temps than the independent...

True, but use one on a $140-160 full prime packer being smoked overnight and have it fail to warn you the flame went out. You could be out more than just the cost of the cheap probe! JMTC 🧐

Great ribs. A few years ago I bought a SNS kettle, with the slow-n-sear basket and really like it. Another feature I like is that SNS mounts the thermometer below the vent.

Howdy and welcome aboard. Never hear of it, had to google it. Did a search on it here, but all posts I saw were pretty old. Could it be a hole for thermometer probes? I didn.t see any hole on website, Pic might help. Have you tried contacting manufacturer?

Any thermometer that isn’t at grate level or real close to, is worthless. If meat isn’t within about 2” in height from the thermometer it tells you nothing about the meat
