brisket sunday....

There is that, and I am sure you are working with something similar to me, and I have different temps in the chamber. It's of course always hotter the closer to the fire so I try and not to leave anything on that side of the chamber for too ong. But its a guessing game.

Who let you out of the kitchen?

My current smoker is a thin, cheap piece of shit. I don't measure the fire temp though. I measure temp in the cooking chamber.

Take the Maverick above for example. It has a meat probe, as well as a small bullet type probe that clips in to the grate on the cooking chamber. I need a thermometer that has the ability to read that, plus two meat probes, as when I smoke, there is always at least two different meats on it. Clocks are worthless to me when I smoke, as I always go by internal temp.

I use digital meat probes when smoking as well, but I only use them for meat temperature. Once I set the initial temperature to my liking it stays steady for 5-6 hours if not longer, so there is never a need to watch the clock nor have a probe for temperature readings at the grate on mine, that's why I was curious if you needed one due to high variable temperatures on yours. I realize no one measures temperatures at the heat source, that would be very amateurish. I was just calling the type of smoker that you use, sidebox style, in case anyone else was following along, as we don't all use the same smoker.

Is your sidebox smoker really that variant in temperature?

I should have said 3 probe. I need one for smoker temp, and two for meat.

That sounds like it could be a pretty good arduino project, Ceyko.

heh, I was not familiar with Arduino. Had to look it up. Possible, having problems finding later specifications on them. The ones I see only have small amounts of flash. (not enough) They also say they don't do 802.11, but I see that it does.

Was reading up on them and it says they are dual probe.

Ships with single, add one if you need it.

I really want the igrill, but when I looked in to them they only had one probe. I'd drop the coin if I could do multiple probes

Done and was mighty tasty...

Yep if the Igrill was a two probe and worked on android I'd pay even more than they are asking.

Concur with both of these, even though I thought about using an iPhone for that particular thing. It has been awhile since I checked it out though.

Still won't connect to wireless network which would cover a portion of my yard, whole house and my shop....which is what I really need to be truly lazy.

I've got that same maverick and it works great. Also academy sells one for about $15 bucks that works good also. It just doesn't have a wireless receiver. I use it as a back up when I'm cooking a bunch of meat and it's been going strong for over a year.
