Hey new to smoking so this might be a newbie question. I bought a masterbuilt 130P electric smoker. I noticed that my device can read the smoker temp as well as 4 meat probe temps. However the smoker only came with a single probe and only one spot to plug it in. If I wanted to use the built in probe thermometer would I buy an extender or something to plug them all in or is there something that connects them all into one plug?
 
My advise as others will be get a different temp probe set. The MB probes are known to be off, sometimes by a lot. They can be had relatively inexpensively thru Amazon, etc. One of the site sponsors offers up discount codes to their temp probes regularly. I havent used one of their probes but Ive only heard great things about them. I have a Maverick 2 probe that works just fine for me.
 
Get yourself a good quality multi probe therm such as an Inkbird or a ThermoPro.You'll get much more accurate and better results.

I'd also recommend an A-MAZ-EN tray or tube for smoke generation.The built in chip loader requires to much babysitting.
 
Like already said above. Get yourself a set of Digital Wireless Therms.
There are a lot of them. I've been using Maverick ET-732 for many many years, without a problem, but there are a lot of others on the market.
I would never trust a Thermometer that comes built into the smoker.
