Is the 8" thermometer from Allied Kenco good to use with the WSM? I was wondering if the 8" stem is too long and will be touching pork butt roasts, brisket, turkeys etc.? Or do you just slide the pot clip down the stem more to keep it closer to the top? I guess ideally it would be best to get a reading from the cooking rack, that is if the thermometer wasn't on the meat.
Masterbuilt has a Deep-Fry thermometer with a 6" stem and a clip, but the ad doesn't say what its temperature range is. If it is made for hot oil, it must go up to at least 350-400. The Allied Kenco thermometer goes from 50-550.
The Masterbuilt cost $9.95 and the Allied Kenco cost $19.95. Allied Kenco also has the really nice one with the 1/2" threaded base for mounting and it costs about $35-$40. I am a little apprehensive about attempting to mount the Thermometers in my WSM's. I wish I knew somebody that has done it before that I could "hire" (for a 12 pack or a case..lol) to do it for me. With my luck, I would ruin my smokers trying to do this.
