Adding a thermometer

[mc73]

I have a brinkman electric smoker and for some reason brinkman didn't feel it needed a temperature gauge. Is it feasible to add a thermometer to it? Any suggestions?

If it had come with a built in thermo, You'd throw it away anyways. They are notoriously inaccurate. I'd look into a ET-73 from maverick. it's a dual probe remote thermometer so you can watch the smoker temp and the meat at the same time.

Well, now you know why. But I think you are most certainly wise to get a thermo so you know what temp you're cooking at.
