New Probe Thermo (Does anyone have this model?)

[bryce]

My wife picked this up for me today. I'm new to smoking food and i'm beginning to assemble all the components to ensure successful bbq everytime! With that said, does anyone have this brand of meat thermometer? My concern is the plastic around the wire. I searched this brand in the search function but didnt find any results.

KitchenAid Digital Instant-Read Thermometer with Probe

Pros:easy to use, quick-read temperature, can set alarm for desired temperature, timer function
Cons:plastic covering on wire

Also any suggesstions on a thermometer to check the temp inside the smoker. Wired is fine, wireless is not necessary but ok as well. Thanks!

As far as a smoker temp therm the Mavericks are real nice, 2 probes, 1 for smoker 1 for meat. ET-732 or ET-73 With what you already have could be nice, you could monitor smoker and 2 pieces of meat.

Well, sounds like thats the cats meow. Always good to support those who support the forum. ET-732 it is. I'll probably take back the thermo from today and add that $32 towards teh ET-732

If a wired thermo is PK, I have Maverick ET-2216's in Red only

Great little thermo that simple, but accurate

I also own a Thermo Pen and really like it's super fast readings

The Maverick ET-732 is a great thermo, if you want a wireless.
