[Muskoka Smoker]

I just received my new smoker. I need to order a bunch of gauges for it. It has a bunch of locations for 1/2 thread nuts/thermometers.
What should I be looking for, size, brand, backlit, probe length, etc.?

When choosing gauges for your smoker, consider the size, thread compatibility, accuracy, brand reputation, backlighting or illumination, probe length, durability, and any additional features you may need. Consult your smoker's manual or manufacturer for specific recommendations.

You may want one or two for reference but a wired therm that connects with phone or other monitor may be more convenient. You could have a probe or two in the meat. and one to monitor smoker temp.

I use built-in for rough guess temps. I love my inkbird IBBQ-4T I've heard complaints about the inkbird app but its fine for me. Usually run 3 probes. 2 for meat and one for grid level temps
I can check temps anywhere i have internet on my phone. with a Bluetooth deal, you are limited to about 30 feet-ish
