I had a slightly less than 6lb Ribeye Roast that I wanted to take for a spin. Added some worchestershire to the outside then a healthy amount of SPOG rub.
I was originally was shooting for a grill temp of around 250 or so. I used a full chimney so I was over 300 for all of the cook. There was no way to dial it back with that much charcoal. Used the Weber baskets to keep heat to the outside and prime rib in the middle. I would say I was closer to 350 and was at 122 when I pulled it 1.5 hrs later.
Now to the fun new toy. I wanted a wireless temp probe to use on the rotisserie. There are mixed reviews on current available options. I have always loved ThermoPro products and I saw they were making the Temp Spike and was happy to give it a shot. Purchased thru a large website that I'm not a huge fan of, but they had a "Day" and ThermoPro had a special since it was new and I could not say no.
I'm not a tech type of person but I think I'm really going to like this. The graphing function was accurate as far as when Prime would be done. I had some user error when closing app, that ended the cook. So when I opened it back up to check temp, graph started over. I did not spend much time reading thru directions other that for set up. One thing that bugs me is Apps that want to know your location. I maybe get it from a marketing side, but it is extremely intrusive. Other than that, I think I'm really going to enjoy this. One of the advantages to this is the extra range it supposedly has over others on the market.
Somebody a while back made a genius mod to their rotisserie that allowed a wired therm to work. I never found that thread again, so I went this route.
