Two meats single probe

[icanchaz]

I'm going to be doing a turkey meatloaf and beef meatloaf this weekend. Will post pics once they are done. I've searched the forum and gotten some tips on smoking two different meats at once. My question is where should I place the single meat probe I have, in the turkey loaf or beef loaf. I have the Maverick 732 and pretty much have the smoker temp dialed in, going to use a layer of pellets topped with chunks for continuous smoke. The other posts said to put the probe in the meat that should get done first, just don't know whether the beef or turkey would be done first. Beef will be chuck 80/20 and the turkey a little leaner 85/15. Going to place the loafs next to each other on the same rack. Appreciate any comments.

Chaz, evening and welcome to the forum ...   The 80/20 should get done before the 85/15.... Fat absorbs heat faster...   As far as the turkey goes...Depends on size I think.... Doing it whole, the cavity will reduce the heat to the meat and slow the cooking...  Dave

I smoked a 14# turkey a couple weeks ago at 250 and it took around and it took around 5hrs. And that was by itself.

You can use both probes for the ET-732 as meat probes

Only diff in the probes, is the meat probe has a poinky end and bend at the other end

Be careful pushing in the Smoker Probe

I do this all the time!!
