can I use this when cooking on a BBQ grill, does the cord handle flame ups??

I have not used it on a grill, have used it in my smoker and my oven. Not sure how it would handle flame-ups. Instructions say not to expose to flame, perhaps you could protect it with some aluminum foil while grilling?

i have never used it on the grill. i think an instant read thermometer might be better. i would be hesitant to use this great oven thermometer that way. hopes this helps

My silicone coated needle probe did not last on the BBQ, so I would not use any probe for anything on the BBQ apart from taking a quick temperature reading. Here's my review of the probe: http://www.amazon.com/ThermoWorks-Pro-Series-Needle-Probe-ChefAlarm/product-reviews/B00EZBB8AQ/ref=cm_cr_pr_top_recent?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints;=0&sortBy;=bySubmissionDateDescending

I think it's rated for 700 degrees. But these things aren't indestructible. Mine hasn't broken but I wouldn't want to expose it to super high heat. Will they work on the grill? Yes. But be careful. I've used it on my grill for steaks. If I was going to use it mostly for grilling, I would get the thermapen. Smoking on the other hand, you want this.

I have had mine for over a year and never worried about fire. The cord is extra thick and does not get hot. Great pad...

Barbara, you wouldn't want to do this in any case -it would alter the heat sensitivity of the probes (rendering their readings inaccurate.) The "don'ts" are few and pretty simple: Don't use the wire over the direct open flame, don't get 'em wet, and when you take the probe out of the meat you need to grasp the probe, not tug it out by the wire. Hope this helps.

I've never used it over my fire pit, but it works fine over a gas burner. Although the gauge of the pan is fairly thick, it's not anything like cast iron. I personally would not use it over an open fire pit.

I would think so. We used it on a propane stove and on the grill over a campfire and it worked perfectly. It has a nice heft to it, not as thin as a previous one.

No! This is apparently for gas-fired grill. It takes quite long to heat up.

If you're grilling at very low temps, yes. Otherwise, the probe wire will fry. I found this out after going through two of them.

Sorry, don't know. Haven't tried it in that manner. Great on outside grills.

I'm sure that it does, I used it for the ignitor on a DCS grill and on a Generic glass fire bowl. The connections are standard size.

No, it should not. However, the problem is more likely with your receptacle than with the grill. Try another appliance and it will likely spark as well. Have an electrician look at all of your receptacles for proper wiring and grounding.

It says for use in Cassette FEU cookers only. This does not mean it will not work with the torch, only that when using in a cooker use in the FEU type cookers.

It would probably work better above the coals, on some kind of grate or grill. The open fire is obviously going to discolor and change the outer appearance of the cooker which won't make any difference in the way it cooks. I personally have never tried to use mine over open fire. I think as long as you're producing steam inside of the pot, uneven heat will not be a major factor. I do like to have the ability to reduce the heat after the initial steady stream of steam appears. A propane fire would be my first choice.

This timer switch has a power rating of 1000 watts. Electric bbqs probably use more than that. If you use it with a device that requires more than 1000 watts, you risk damage to the timer switch and a fire. It would be like using a cheap extension cord instead of an industrial one.

Yes, that's how I use it with no problem. Just don't put the flame too high and have the it slightly off to the side of the burner grate so the handle doesn't get hot.

I have a high BTU burner on my gas cooktop and it works fine, I would see no difference using it on a campfire.

It All Depends on the size of the burner, I use mine on a propane burner that is on the side of my BBQ grill and it works fine. I've baked beer bread in it a # of times .

I use my on the grill and smoker. Cable is exposed to heat, but I've had none, ZERO, problems. I love my unit!!
