Best way to store thermometer probes/wires

[Steve Petrone]

What is the best way to store temp probes when not in use?

I'm sure someone here has figured this out. I thank you in advance.

You reminded me that I have a tendency of laziness when it comes to storage but various thermo manufacturers offer probe organizers. Here's one example: https://www.fireboard.com/shop/probe-organizer/

I coil my food probe loosely and store it in my grilling tool box, the grate probe goes back on the grate after cleaning ( the grate) and lives in the WSM.
I like the linked that silicone gizmo though.
I’ve thought about using an old round table salt container too, poprobes in the hole and wrap the cord and sticking the pin connections in the other end. As yet un tested but when I use up this table salt I might have to try it.

good options...

maybe just coil up (about the size of salt container) twist tie and bag in baggie

I'm kinda digging TFL's idea. I have a Pringles can and some velcro cable ties and might see what happens with that. One strap per probe.

These look interesting, but I do think the cable is too stressed where it meets the probe.

I use the Thermoworks Large storage case. For me this keeps everything to together and avoiding the - Where the heck is that! 20 bucks, but in the long run worth it.

I use a bag made for fishing lures - they either have ziploc style or zippers to close the bag.

If you have access to a 3D printer, these work very well. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2222706

I cut a piece of my daughter's swim noodle and wrap the cables around them.

I use the silicon probe spools from Thermoworks. They work, really, really, well.

I just hang mine with a couple hooks in the garage. Draped over both ends in a upside-down u. Don't like to coil them.

I just roll them up and hang on a nail on the porch.
