Could you recommend a good thermometer with probe to use with this smoker?

No; this is meant for meat temps only if you want one that does the air and meat. I use the Maverick M Remote Smoker Thermometer [ET-73]. I've used it for 2 1/2 years now. It does air temp and meat temp. It has temp probes with wires so that the digital reader stays out of the pit. Amazon sells it or you can go to www.amazingribs.com and see reviews for several different devices.

Hello cooking friend. The temperature probe is a sealed thermocouple. It should work fine in frying or any application within it's temperature range. Ours works great !!!!

I would put a digital thermometer probe in the smoker to confirm the temperature inside the box. I'm assuming the ribs weren't frozen when they were placed in the smoker.

Allowing the of the grill probe tip to touch the grill will give you a false reading, a hotter reading then the ambient temp in the smoker....

My smoker sets in my tractor shed which has three open sides and I don' seem to have any problems. Perhaps the one closed side does the trick. I just finished smokind venison bologna and the average temp was in the low twenties

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.

Thermometer is very accurate. I have had no problems controlling my temperature in the smoker. I do a lot of low and slow cooking 5-6 hours at 200-250 and I've never had a problem. Also have used it at high temps and seems completely accurate. Temperature management is simply your ability to control the airflow via the top and bottom vents. Once you gauge those openings for your temperature selection it's pretty much set it and forget it. Love this smoker.

I have never used the probes up to this temp but I think they may need to be encased in something to protect them. I would think one of the long pointed probes which are available would work better. I have only used the provided probes attached to the outside of a hot pipe to measure its temp.

I think heat is the most important thing for the smoker to work well, but i would check with Cameron for a definite answer. I do know the smoker is wonderful!

I do not see why it would not work. You will just need to remember which probe is in the 'smoker' port.

I don't see why you couldn't- the probes come out of the base and that transmits to the handheld thermometer.. You will need a shelf or a stand or something near the smoker that you can put that base on - obviously outside the smoker where it's not hot... Since the temps are usually low when smoking I don't think you'll need to worry too much about the internal heat affecting the probe or wire - it will be the placement of the base will be your issue..hope that makes sense?

No you need the probes for the ET73. They are also sold here on Amazon just search for Maverick ET73 Smoker Probe.

Yes, it can be used with a smoker. I have used mine several times to measure temps towards the end of a cook, and no issues.

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.

Mine does not have a thermometer. It's a bit hit or miss, I guess. I just use a temp lying somewhere on the dial between the High setting (for ignition) and the lowest. I guess I don't BBQ scientifically. Sorry.

This Thermometer does exactly that, the sensing part of the set has a smoker probe and a meat probe, It comes with a grate holder to hold the smoker probe in place.
