What does everybody use to clean the temp probe in the smoker. I have tried white vinegar, grill cleaner but I cannot get it clean and shiny. I don't want to put too much pressure against it don't want to damage it.
or SS wool works great, too.
Unless you are running a pellet smoker and the cleanliness of the temp probe is a factor. Just my experience talking.I haven't cleaned mine in 7 years. No need for it to be shiny.
I use the alcohol wipes, too. Works great. Key is clean it either before or after each cook.I use alcohol wipes. Most times after a smoke & always before.
The blue Scotch pad is made for glass and similar surfaces to avoid scratching. I would recommend it for the probe.Soap, water and a blue Scotch pad.
