Do you put the entire remote unit in the grill or smoker, or does the probe need to be long enough to feed from outside?

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.

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 probe needs to be long enough otherwise you would melt the plastic. The probe length is several feet.

Only the probes go "in" the smoker. The probes are approx 24" so, they fit just fine.

DO NOT put the remote in the grill/smoker. There is a three foot cable for the smoker thermometer and a two foot cable for the meat thermometer. I just thread them through the air vent on the top of the smoker and hang the transmitter remote to the side of the smoker. You can run the cable under the lid but the lid can pinch the cable and possibly cause a problem.

The one probe goes into the meat and the wire runs out under the lid and the smoking chamber probe is in and the the thin wire runs out and they both connect OUTSIDE to the remote (the one on the left as shown) and then you can take the unit on the right as shown and go into the house, onto the deck, etc. and monitor both temperatures

I had to buy a role of speaker wire to make them long enough to reach my grill ! Then just used zip ties to mount easiest way I could do it ! Hope that helps

I measured the temp rod on this one and it is about little over 2 inches long. I have an older Weber Q grill and seen the new ones had temp gauges on them and ordered this one to put on mine. Just drilled a hole and put it in. There is a wing nut on the bottom side of the gauge to secure it in place. Works well with no problems.

This unit will do it. It's very accurate and you will be very happy with it. You can even set a hi-low alarm for both the grill temp and the food temp. So if you want to stay between 300 and 350 it will alarm if temps go outside of that range. Food also can be set to any temp and an alarm will alert you when it's done. It's the best grilling/smoking gadget I own.

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

The metal probe is 2.75" long. The entire unit is 6.75" long. However the protective cap when connected to the opposite end makes the unit 10" long. This nice feature saves a lot of fingers when the grill is really hot. This is a great unit and I definitely recommend it.

I places a pipe into the ground that the post slides down into. This allows me to pivot the post and then easily remove the post in the winter. We cook at the campfire near our cabin almost every evening throughout the summer using this grill and it works great.

I use mine for smoking. Just don't get cable were it goes into probe wet. That's how most probes fail.

There is no remote sensor and location is critical. It should be mounted close to the floor preferablyright in front of the stove. Propane is a heavy gas and if you have a leak it will flow to the floor.

You do not place the probe in the item on the grill and leave it. Just test the item and check the done condition and remove it

If I'm cooking a roast or turkey that will be in the oven for at least a few hours, I don't bother inserting the probe until close to the time I think it will be ready (I don't leave it in the oven for 3+ hours). I haven't used it with my outdoor grill. The probe does get very hot, so you need to handle it with gloves if it's been in the oven.

The BBQ probe comes with a spring clamp that clamps to the food grate. It works VERY well. You can clamp it to the top or the underside of the food grate.

It's about 3-4' long. I use a 15ft extension cord but pay attention to the size of the wires in the extension cord. The smoker is pulling 1500 watts and can overheat/burn up a cheap cord.

I'd use a probe in an oven, not touching metal, but the heat from a BBQ will destroy the probe - IMO! You might get away with it several times, but the probe will not last on a covered grill.

Put the probe in the meat in the oven or grill when you start cooking. Close the oven door or grill lid. The probe's wire can then be plugged in to the register outside the oven or grill. The oven door and grill lid can and will close around the wire and not impact oven or grill temperature.

The temperature probe is for reference only the auto shut off is the timer. you set the temperature you want your smoker at then set the timer for how long you want to smoke your food.
