Would I be over bothered for a pit probe, nah. For a food probe yeah definitely, that's why I always use a Thermapen over the Maverick because it is always bang on.


That'll give me something else to do today, bought a digital food probe from Captain Cooks a few years back, now I'm off to calibrate it :ugeek: ....this bbqing lark keeps you on yer toes :lol:

I would agree with Al, I tested the ones I got in the same order as you Ben and mine are bang on. In fact they are now in my clone and I have bought the smaller model for the WSM's.

They do take a little longer to get to the reading temp, but they read exactly the same as my thermapen.

By the way, I came across a bear on an early morning stroll in Canada a few years back. Thankfully it wasn't interested in me but was only 50 or 60 feet away. Suffice it to say I bid a hasty retreat. Wifey wondered why I rushed into our motel room and went straight to the loo :lol:
