I just received my Maverick ET73 and it says "Remote Smoker Thermometer". Can this be used in a BBQ and/or oven as the description states?

Yes, but I would only use it in grill <450F as a higher temperature than that will cause the thermocouple wire to burn out. I believe Maveric states that their temperature thermometer is good to about 500F. You can call them to comfirm. I already had to replace mine because it got too hot. I plan on getting a separate instant read thermometer for about $15 for the grill. Hope this helps.

Yes, I've used it in my smoker, temps ranging from 225-275, on my grill, 300-500, and in my oven at 425.

I don't know, it's a total piece of junk. It broke within an hour. Send it back while you still can...
890762
I have used it in a grill, smoker ad oven with no problems. If you have one of the older models it has a limited range.
890763
I use it in my oven also, but it won't go above 400 degrees, it gives a HHH flash. I guess because that would be too hot for a smoker.
890764
Send this back. It is junk. Remote only works a short distance away and the switch on the remote is inside battery compartment. Order next generation Maverick where the corrected those problems. Et732. But yes it can be used in both.

Yes. I bought this and 100-300 degree thermometer to upgrade my masterbuilt smoker. Works better than new. The cord comes out of the opposite side of this unit, fyi.

Bob, I wouldn't. For food safety, I would use a Thermapen to insert into the thickest part of the chicken (and test it several places) to get precise internal temperature. The Maverick Laser Surface Thermometer, as the name implies, will only tell you the surface temperature of any object, not the internal temperature. You could cook the chicken at very high heat, cook the outside very fast to a high temperature, use the laser thermometer and get a 200 degree reading, and still have raw chicken meat on the inside. I have one of these and love it. I use it frequently in the kitchen and elsewhere to quickly check surface temperatures. In kitchen, use it to check how hot your frying pan is. Learn how hot your Teflon gets at various burner settings so you won't ruin your pans. Use it to balance your heating/cooling system vents throughout your house. Lots of uses. But checking internal temperature of meats is definitely NOT a legitimate, nor safe, use. Stick to a probe-type thermometer for that, the Thermapen being the undisputed champion in that regard.

Well, it is a good tool - when it works. Mine worked great for 2 smokings, but the barbeque probe just went bad on the third session. I would upgrade to the good probes. It's quite convenient (when it works) having a remote temperature reading to carry around anywhere while the smoker works away!

Just spoke Ivation - Answer is "Yes." Only caveat is that barbeque side of transmitter only goes down to 140 degrees so you don't get an accurate reading until the food is 140 or greater. High reading on the barbeque side is also 572 so no problem there. Do an Amazon search for "Ivation food probe." It's $13.99

I would not try to use the meat probe. The wire from the Monitor to the probe would get tangled while the rotisserie is spinning. You could use the temp probe to monitor the BBQ temp as long as it was fixed to grate.

Generally speaking, when dealing with wired thermocouples, they are all the same. As long as your digital transmitter receives a two wire thermocouple, there shouldnt be any issues. I have used this model on a standard digital thermometer for my BBQ, and this one was ordered to use with PID thermostat control for a curing oven. I hope this helps.

A "regular smoker" is the best, of course. I use my A-maze-n Tube with a Charbroil Infrared gas grill and a RecTec pellet smoker. Usually, I just add the right kind of wood chunks to the gas grill, but every now and then I'll use the tube smoker for a quick shot of smoke. I almost always use it on my Rec Tec, because pellet smokers seem to make less smoke as the temp rises above 200-225 degrees. I think it has to do with the pellets more completely burning at higher temps, producing less smoke. I think the A-Maze-n Tube Smoker would greatly enhance your grilling and smoking. Make sure you buy a bag of several smoke flavors, so you can diversify a little. Enjoy! A "regular smoker" is the best, of course.

I would think you can. with that said, a modification might need to be made, to get the probes into the inside of the grill. I have seen it done two ways, put the probes in through one of the air outlet holes in the top or drill a small hole in the base, near the top, to bring the probes through. I wouldn't put them between the base and cover, as it might pinch the probe cable. I think he will like the ET 732.I really like mine. I use it all the time in my smoker.

The gauge is off so I use a electronic gauge that has a remote one I can keep in the house and keep track of the temp. I really like the smoker it does a good job.

I agree w stan the mailman. and you can use throw away foil pans to smoke in. their really no mess besides emptying the wood smoker pan . I like to be able to set my temp and walk away. I bought a remote probe but haven't really need it. just set your temp low and I usually keep wood chucks in a old coffee can full of water so their ready to go. have fun. also you can modify the vents to close it down more. helps w the heat and smoke

The food probe temperature range is 32 degrees F to 572 degrees F.The BBQ probe temperature range is 140 degrees F to 572 degrees FI haven't used this product for deep frying but the temperature range is certainly within the capability of the Maverick. Hope this helps.

no, the leads on the probes on the transmitter should be long enough to go inside the cooker/smoker, however you may need to make a place to hand the transmitter on the outside. with the hanger on the back of it, I usually hang it on the outside of the door, but it will need to be kept away from high heat. hope this helps.

I have now gone through three of these because of the same error message. I use mine for roasting on the BBQ, and my understanding is that the cord is fried because the heat from the direct flame is too intense. I have a friend who's been using the same unit for years, but only uses it in the oven where there's no direct flame. I hate to tell you this, but your unit is caput. You can contact Oneida and get a replacement cord, but my experience with them is that their customer service is nil. There are thermometers out there that can be used on the grill. This isn't one of them. Believe me, I speak from experience.

This will work fine, because it uses infrared to measure temperature. I tried it on a few grills and it gives you accurate temperatures.

You may want to check the temperature range of this unit and see if the probe can take the temperature of your smoker. If the range is within your specs and you are able to use the output to manipulate your smoker to increase or decrease the heat, sure why not.

No, there is not. I use an aftermarket thermometer that I stick in the meet. This smoker is a "set it and forget it" type and it only cooks at one temp (I think it is around 275 deg. F). It works very well for novice smokers just getting into BBQ, and is also a nice addition for experienced smokers who just want to throw something in and do it quickly with very little mess.
