Maverick ET 732 question

[onytay]

I love the Et 732 I have now, but was thinking the other day about how I was going to monitor the temps on the 4 butts I'm smoking tonight with only 3 thermos. I wonder if a second et 732 can be set up with 2 meat probes instead of 1 BBQ temp and one meat temp? Does anyone know if i got a replacement set of probes would the et732 function properly with 2 meat probes plugged in?

Yes it will work fine. You just have to remember which probe is which.

Why not just put the meat probe in the smallest butt and then move it to the next smallest butt when it hits temp?

The smaller butt may not be the first to get done. The stall time varies alot between the cuts. I had 2 boston butts which were the same weight, same brand, bought the same day. There was a 2.5 hours difference for them to reack 195.

There is some truth to that but with 4 butts and if the smoker temp is fairly even, it has been my experience that the smaller butt finishes first.

This is what i am planning on doing, was just trying to come up with an easier way that wouldn't break the bank.
