Try this one. It si pretty much the standard around here. I have two and use them every smoke I do. One probe monitors your meat and one monitors your smoker temps. It also has a reciver that you take with you and you can monitor you cooker whil you are in the house...best one for me
that would be nice, but im kind of looking for some 10 dollar or so thing that i can just stick through the heat vent. can you tell me perhaps what this guy uses at 2:35 in the video?
Yes it should give you the temp as long as it reads correctly. Many of us will put a thermometer on the grate beside the meat so we know what temp the meat is smoking at. Depending on the type of smoker you may very well get different readings from end to end side to side or top grate to bottom grate. Its a good idea to move the thermometer around and find out what the different areas read so you know. Oh and if you look around many times you can pick up a thermo kinda like the one that was linked to but is a single probe on sale or on clearance for around 10 bucks awhile back we found some for 4 bucks on clearance
