OT: Meat Thermometers

[Uncle Ruckus]

I use a single probe right now and want to upgrade to a multi probe to so I can do multiple temps as well as oven temp in my smoker. I also want to be able to monitor it on my phone via Bluetooth. I know about the iGrill, but that's about it. I know you fatty's own some. What's out there?

I have a single probe as well. I've never used foreign attachments. I find it works better if you name it. I dubbed my meat thermometer "The Duke." His friends, "Pancho & Lefty," never leave his side.

I have the IGrill 2 and use 2 probes when smoking with my BGE.
I can monitor at night when I am smoking a couple Boston butts and never get out of bed!
Works great and not nearly as expensive as the BBQ Guru.
I got my Dad one for Father's Day and he likes it also.

Did you pay around $100ish? That's a lot to me. Don't know if I can fork out that much for something I don't have to have

I fee like I'd have to go buy a Hawaiian shirt and these shoes if I wore the lanyard

Loki or Meater going to be the way to go... if they ever actually make it to market. I find Bluetooth almost worthless. Wifi on the other hand...They are expensive though.

If you are looking for reasonable, some of the cheap eBay models offer better range than the bluetooth

Make sure you get the double probe.

Get something like this to use one as your grill thermometer: https://www.amazon.com/BBQ-Butler-M...rd_wg=6JIo8&psc=1&refRID=E82JX9TCR55VX88F33CE

It runs off an app on your phone. Lets you easily set alarms and all that mess. I've used it for burgers, steaks, shoulders, etc. Always within a degree or two of my instant read when I check it.

I really like maverick. The one I have is not Bluetooth but it is wireless. I can sit in my living room in the ac drinking beer while monitoring my meat and smoker temp.

Don't forget the jorts

mine is precise

every time it's 98.6 and if it's any higher i pull out and wait another day. i'm not catholic but there's no sense in risking it.

I own an iGrill2 with 2 meat probes and a pit probe. I like it. My one gripe is there is no way to adjust calibration. One of my probes is a little off. I also use a thermopop for instant read. Best instant read for the money. Not as fast as a thermapen, but isn't 100 bucks either.

I have a single probe meat thermometer, when I stick it in the meat oven it always comes out hot and juicy.

Thats all.

Cook it till it looks right, Rookie! Ha.

Maverick is also what I use. A good product for not too much money.

This is the answer. Only time I bother with a thermometer is on a whole turkey.

Needing a meat thermometer is like needing an orgasm indicator. You're just doing it wrong.

Considering the source, I'll continue using a thermometer.
