Been smoking 5 big chicken breat for almost 3 1/2 hours at 250 and been stuck in the 152-156 temp range for an hour.
 
I will definitely get me one but don't have one right now. Going to wait a little longer. What's a good one to get?
 
Mine is 10F at the moment. Was working perfectly when I got the box.  Not sure whats going on.  Use a Mav 733.
 
No. I left it closed the whole time. Finally just turned it up to 275 and got done. Tasted good but not as juicy as it should of been.
 
I would be willing to bet large sums of money that it is not correct.  Some possible alternatives with internal grill / meat probes - Maverick, ThermoPro, iGrill, ThermaQue.  I also like to validate what the Maverick is stating the IT of the meat is with a good quick read thermometer (I have a Thermapen).

LOL----You won't find many around here to take that bet !!!

Masterbuilt should drop the Bluetooth and contract with Maverick to make their probe part of the stock unit.
I only like therms that aren't attached to a smoker.

I can take them to the kitchen to test in boiling water.

Can't do that with the Built in MES Sensors & Probes.

Seems like a remote therm would be best so you can see the temp without opening the smoker is that correct?
Absolutely.

You can move it to any place you want in the smoker.

You don't have to open the door to read it.

And it's easy to take it to your kitchen to do a Boil test for accuracy.
