Good Evening,
I purchased the TP-08 on Amazon last summer as an upgrade from the cheap digital thermometers that I had before. I use my smoker probably about once a week/two weeks. I have found that I am having repeated probe issues, especially with the smaller BBQ probe, and have had to replace it 3 times, and the meat one once. Today for example, I was using both probes to monitor my smoker temp while doing ribs, and all of a sudden, the one temp went off by 50F. Replaced the probe with a spare that I had (last spare I have) and it went back to normal.
I don't think that I am doing anything that is out side the norm with these probes, but it has been frustrating not being 100% sure if I have an accurate temperature with the frequency of failed probes.
Does anyone else have this issue with probes?
