    New Here and New to pellet smokers. HELP

    Maverick is one of the preferred models out there for thermometers.  There are also some newer ones from various companies. I dont use one too often, I do check from time to time to make sure my Memphis is still holding temp compared to the thermostat.  I also like ChefAlarm  by Thermoworks.
