Can you buy a 2nd meat probe and use the bbq temp sensor socket to measure a 2nd piece of meat? I noticed both probes have the same temperature range

I believe you can, and you might not need to even buy another meat probe. You might get away with using that bbq temp sensor. I'll have to try that sometime. IF they're the same type of meat, and you're using a heat diffuser, all the pieces of meat should finish at the same time. IF they're different types of meat, you could use they meat probe on the faster cooking meat. Once it hits its temp, remove the meat and put the meat probe into the slower cooking meat. Just some suggestions.

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

Although I have not done it, I understand from reading other forums that it is possible.

I would put the second meat probe into the meat, but leave the plug dangling outside the grill or smoker, then just switch plugs to check the second piece of meat. I usually have beef and pork on my Weber Smokey Mountain, and route the plugs in different ways, leave them outside the smoker, and start checking temps after many hours. You get a feel for which meat will finish first, leave that one hooked up until it's done, pull it, then plug the other probe in. That way you're using the probes as intended.

While I have only used this thermometer for the BBQ grill, I suspect it can also be used for indoor oven. It comes with two probes - one for meat and the other for internal temperatue (Grill or oven). I am very pleaed with this product, hope the info helps.

I only have the 732 and ordered these replacement probes for that. From what I have read on the net from various "smoking food" sites; they are not interchangeable! The 732 probes were designed for: (1) for food temp, which is curved, and (1)for the grill surface which is shorter and thicker (which would be quite difficult to get into the meat).

One nice feature if you have a large pit or cook a lot of meat, you can run two or more 733s (and 732s) as long as they are synchronized away from each other. They can then be brought together without mixing up the signals. source: http://www.amazingribs.com/BBQ_buyers_guide/thermometer_buying_guide.html

It comes with two hybrid probes. You can use them to monitor two food temps, one food and one cooking chamber temp or two cooking chamber temps.

Only put the probe in the smoker. My 1st thermometer was off by 50 degrees! I had to exchange it. The 2nd was only off a few degrees.

The ET-73 comes with two probes. One is the the grill temperature and the other is for the meat temperature.

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

Craig, I uploaded a picture of the 2" River Country Professional Series Adjustable Grill & Smoker Thermostat Thermometer Gauge installed on my 18.5" WSM and 22.5" Weber Grill. I mounted the the gauge at just below the top grate on the WSM. The temperature at grate level was more important to me. Regardless of the location you choose, i doubt the probe would interfere with your food in the smoker. As others mentioned, the probe is 1-1/2" in length. Hope this picture is of help.

Yes! Insert the probe in the thickest part of the meat, not fat. Put it in the oven and close the oven over the wire. Set the temperature to what you want, and cook away. The timer will give you a warning when it gets close to the temperature that you want. Take the meat out when done and remove the probe; rest and/or tent with foil if needed.

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 have used it several times with my barbecue grill. I don't leave it in the meat while cooking, of course, but I will occasionally take a reading while cooking. It works pretty fast (a few seconds), but I would suggest using a barbecue mitt or some other protection for your hand, because even a few seconds over a hot grill can be pretty uncomfortable. It doesn't seem to affect the thermometer, though, and that may be because I shield the plastic part with the mitt, so only the metal probe is exposed to the heat.

Matt, yes this can be, but read the directions on the thermometer. For outside grills (I realize this isn't a grill and gets nowhere near the temperature of one), wrap the coil to the probe in aluminum foil. I have several friends that smoke their meat using this thermometer. Hope this helps

The blunt ended probes are for monitoring the cooker temp. Of you wanted multiple meat probes, there's a different product. Read the description. It says smoker and chamber probe, not meat probe.

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.

They have a 1-yr warranty. They said they will replace a bad probe. As I put in my review, just go ahead and order a new probe. They're expendable and you don't want to be caught without one. You have to know the internal temp of your meat.
