thermometer

What brand of grate thermometer is recommended? I assume the $5 grill replacement thermometers isnt going cut it. Also, whats the pros and cons of using something like a permanent probe thermometer at the grate level?

Second smoke on my UDS this weekend. First time doing a brisket and did a pork tenderloin. I've smoked before with friends and always used mustard on the brisket and a commercial rub. This time I wanted to simplify things a bit, so I went with Olive Oil as a pre-rub and ground my own black...

I saw this thermometer on eBay. It looks very similar to the thermoworks TW8060. Has anyone tried it or what do ya'll think? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Digital-K-J-Type-Thermometer-Thermocouple-4-Probes-/250908432932?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a6b4eda24#ht_10585wt_890

I just bought a weber kettle that has a thermometer built into the lid. It got me thinking that maybe I could make simple burgers better. Up until now, I just got the coals hot, threw on the burgers, some pepper, when the juices where clear and they looked good, it was time to eat. Do you...

Gentlemen, I realize this post is going to raise some strong opinions but I can't resist. I received my America's Test Kitchen weekly email. This current posting has a review of thermometers and store bought BBQ sauces. I have also enclosed another link for some recipes. For the life of me I...

I thought I should check my Thermapen today. Being that I am new to using one I thought I'd look up instructions to do just that. Here is what I found, just thought I would share what I found. Thermapen Calibration Courtesy: Komado.com Calibration Note: Calibration should be...

I currently have a 7' three door offset smoker with tru-tel gauges on each door and three rack thermometer inside. When cooking my tru-tel gauges always show temp 50 to 75 degrees cooler than the rack thermometers. I thought the problem may be the stems on the tru-tel are only 3” long and only...
