    Temp waaaay off.

    I did the temp verification wrong. I poured boiling water in a measuring cup and then checked which came up with low temp. I actually boiled a pot of water on stove and put the probes in while boiling and the temp was right at 212. So the meter is not the problem but the temp sensor on the...

    Temp waaaay off.

    I did not validate the upper temp on the probes because they read 37 when inserting in the meat this morning straight out of the fridge. I did check the boiling point and it was off. It read 188. That accounts for a difference of 24 degrees but not for the nearly 90 degrees off. I only had...

    How to add thermometer

    Are they wireless or do you drill a hole through the side for the wire to attach to probe?

    How to add thermometer

    I just bought a Masterbuilt 30" electric smoker and it does not have a thermometer. I believe I bought a Gen 1 and not the MES130B. It's model jmss 30". Is there a way to add thermometer to it?

    New to smoking meat but not new to eating it!

    Hello, Glad to see there is a forum for smoking meat. I am new to this trade but have been eating smoked meat my whole life. I just bought an electric smoker because honestly, I love smoked bbq but hate all the work that goes into it. My true passion is woodturning but I want to eat good...
