Thermometer Recommendation

[Adam E]

Hi all. I'm in the midst of smoking 2 racks of baby backs on my old original bullet and my Taylor thermometer with the probe is all whacked out.

Can anyone recommend a new one that doesn't cost an arm and a leg? I was going to order a ThermoPro TP-07, but I just read that it's recommended only in the meat and not the oven/grill since it loses accuracy over 200 degrees. Does anybody use the ThermoPro for the grill temp? How is it? I don't care about the meat temp so much as I have an instant read which I'm fine with.

Wireless isn't too important either.

Happy 4th of July & Thanks!

Either this one or this one. If you're looking to monitor smoker temp then add this to either one of them.

Thanks Kevin. I'll take look.

Over the last few years I have bought three(3) Thermopen products(Chef Alarm,Thermopen Classic, etc.) and if $60 plus is not a "arm and a leg" I highly 2nd K Kruger's recommendations above.

Why wouldn't you just get another Taylor? They're $12.74 on Amazon. For pit temp, I've been using mine just hanging it through the top vent and it works fine. Sure, if I was going to spend money, I'd likely get a Smoke 2-channel. But for under $15, you'll be back to where you were before the current Taylor went down.

You can buy Ink Bird blue tooth and wifi therms very reasonable imo, I have a 6x that is great , the logging part drops out when I quit the app but I don't compare data any more from long cooks. the rechargeable instant read works great
