meat thermometer wireless Cold Weather!!

[archeryrob]

What units work in sub freezing weather? I like my Inkbird but 18 as a high this weekend and it will shutoff in that weather. Most list the fire box working temps and not the electronics working temps. I was going to mix deer and pork for lunch meat for the year and Canada is sending its weather down for the week.

What do you use in the cold? Looking for a multi probe unit, 4 probes would be needed

I find this in the specs, doesn't list working below freezing.

Operating Range

32 to 122°F (0 to 50°C)

Well they do say that yet my 4 probe signals unit I used for years has worked a lot lower that 32º. I put base right beside the smoker chamber (not touching but plenty of radiant heat) and run the probes inside the box to the protein du jour. Have not had a problem. Last year I migrated to their new wireless RFX probe system which I do love using. BTW the operating specs on those go down to -13º.

I have the Therm Pro Temp Spike. I believe they say it works in temp up -14 deg F

I have never had an issue in cold weather here in the Great White North

I should have been more clear, I need 4 probes or more. The smokehouse is wood and keeps at residual heat away from the unit sitting outside of it.

1 top of smokehouse
2 bottom of smokehouse
3 top rack of meat
4 bottom rack of meat

Also specs on Amazon says 14°F and not -. I did see this one also at 14°F

Looking for other ideas

My IBT-6X list 32°F in its specs.

This other Inkbird list way lower. [EDIT] Ordered, review to follow.

Thinking this may be the way. We are in single digits this week at night and no way this IBT-6X is going to swing this. Anniversary is this weekend and might make lunch meat the weekend after.
