Does this read at the tip of the probe?

Yes, it's very sensitive and only needs to be stuck in to the center of what you are cooking for a correct reading. It's also long enough that you don't burn your hand or fingers. I haven't over-cooked anything since I got it.

Yes, it does. So you want to insert it into the middle of the meat to check the internal temp.

It works by measuring the change in resistance in the metal probe tips caused by change in temperature of those tips. The probe tips change temperature by being in contact with whatever material you are taking a reading from. The thermal transfer from glass to metal probe tip will be somewhat slower than a metal-metal contact, how much slower I can't say, but shouldn't be much. So it will work, you just have to wait a bit longer for the temperature to stabilize.

your trying to check the ambient temp and the tip should be not be touching the grate ....rember its the tip of the probe that does the reading >>>>> it comes with a holder

No. Mine came with just the probe. I just used the clip from the short one I replaced.

Probe must be placed on direct spot to be read and left 45 mins for an accurate reading. I use cloth surgical tape to keep it secured on my beardie's basking spot. Everything else I've tried started peeling away after a few minutes from the heat.

I suggest that you test it first -- not all probes are the same even if the plug on the end is the same.

The instant read probe will not. The high heat probe will fit through a 1/4 inch hole.

tried this today and when probes are not touching led reads O.L and when touched reads 0000.0

Yes it does, these older ones with the non color screen come with the probe.

Sure. The probe isn't that long maybe 4 inches, but positioned correctly as far as you can go, it should be fine

There should be a plug on the end of the probe that snaps in the back of the edge

Yes. Not the best probes, but good Pomona probes cost as much as this meter.

No. Matter of fact, this is how I check/verify mine is working properly: they should read the same, or within a few degrees. I use mine in a BBQ pit.

There is no need for a probe, if I understand what you are asking. The devise opens like a clothespin and One puts the finger in with the fingernail next to an LED light. The devise then reads the pulse and oxygen sat. It seems to work just fine!

It does seem to measure with the tip as well. The "original measurement in 8 seconds" is not "stare at a blank screen for 8 seconds". You'll see the temperature going up every 1/2 second-ish for about 8 seconds until the core probe is reading the correct temperature. I can put just a little bit of the tip in and wait the required time and it will read the same temperature as if I submerged the entirety of the probe. Hope that helps!

The probes are about 8 inches long. I don't like itbecause the dial reading are upside down, so one hasto bend over to read the dial. I don't know why theydid it that way.

Might be normal margin of error for the temp probe or it might be draft of air near temp probe tip .
