Do you double check your meat probe temp?

[ricer2231]

I recently purchased a MES 30 and it has a meat probe with it. I have been double checking the probe against the readings of a small round meat thermometer and they are reading +/-2 degrees of each other. For those of you that do the same, do you have a instant read thermometer you would suggest? I'm not looking to break the bank, I'm just a small time smoker and have no intentions of doing any big time smoking. Thanks in advance for any and all advice.

Yep...I have a Javelin for spot checks and a Maverick 732 to monitor progress in the MES...JJ
