Where to put the meat probe

[M. Chesney]

Still getting familiar with my digiQ and wondering when firing up the WSM where is the best place to have the meat probe? I think it's best just to leave it outside the grill so the probe is not affected by the temp inside the grill. Since I use eyelets I'll just thread it through outside the lid and stick in the meat once the WSM comes to temp. Is this the preferred method? Looking for suggestions on beat methods and if I'm using the right approach discribed above.

Thanks,

Mike

If you're going to use the meat probe why wait till the cooker comes to temp? The meat should be loaded in when you assemble the cooker and add a little lit. Stick the probe in then and be done with it.

Thanks, good to know. I guess I'm still learning with this ATC and thinking I needed to get the WSM to smoking temps like I used to do w/o the assistance of an ATC. I'll use your technique next time.

Thanks,
