Can it be used to measure and monitor the internal oven air temperature?

It only has one temp probe input, so if you ONLY wanted to monitor the oven, then yes. If you wanted to monitor your food and the oven temp, you would need a monitor with dual inputs. There might be better temp probes for the job though (check the thermoworks website for options), the needle probe is not ideally suited for measuring air temp, but it does do the job.

I use my for monitoring temperature inside my BBQThey include a clip for the probe that I use to keep the probe attached to one of my gratesWorks great for me, very accurate and responsive

It sees the temperature of the surface of an object, so if that is what you are interested in, yes, it can be used for cooking. However, it cannot look below the surface of an object. So it will tell you the temperature of the surface of the oven or the skin of the turkey, but will not tell you if the turkey is cooked on the inside and is therefore at the right temperature to be removed from the oven.

I wish I could be more help but I have not ever used the thermometer that way. I've only used it to test temperature when meat is taken out of the oven. For that purpose it works great.

As others have said, it probably will not do what you are probably looking for since it will only provide a surface temperature. However, if you want to know the temperature of a frying pan, or the interior of an oven, or the inside of your freezer, theses are all things the unit can do.

Yes! It will measure the surface of the onside of the oven as it measures what it's "touching." I found that the inner surface of the oven is on the dot with the temperature given off by the actual oven thermometer.

It measures the surface temp. You should use a probe thermometer to get internal temp.

I would think that depends on the moisture level (humidity). It would certainly work but if the gauge itself is in the same high humidity environment as the probe, it might not have as long a life. I use mine at ambient room conditions with the probe in a lab oven at 113F and 70% humidity. Works great but my gauge display is always cool and dry.

You can purchase a small oven thermometer and place it in your oven and set to the desired temperature to check. The easy answer is, the oven has an internal thermostat that turns the heating elements on or off to maintain the temperature you have chosen.

I use this for making candy, roasting meats in the oven, checking the internal temp of fried foods. Mine is perfectly accurate, way better than a traditional candy thermometer. I also have an instant read IR thermometer. Both thermometers are within 2 degrees of each other, which is more than acceptable for my use.

Although I haven't tried it I believe it would work. But it would only measure the surface temp of the food. Not the interior temp.

I would guess not because new ovens like mine has digital electronic processing. This sensor output is calibrated to send a temperature signal that the electronics understand. Your old oven probably does not have the same electronic processing and therefore would not read the temperature properly. Again this is my opinion, I could be wrong.

Yes, this would be able to check the temp of a BBQ or smoker. I have had one for a few months now and it has worked great so far. No problems or issues.

Their is a hole in the cover of the grill. At that point it measures the inside temperature. I would think if you had a hole or made one it would do the job. It was easy installing it.

If only are only intending to measure the superficial temperature, (not the inner temperature of the product) then the answer is "YES". I often use this device to check the temperature of the marmalade process to see if the packaging temperature is adequate.

Absolutely. Just run the cord into the oven and clip the probe to your oven grate. Place the transmitter on the counter and close the oven door. Then get ready to see how far off calibration you oven actually reads. We suspected our oven was about 50 degrees off and verified that with our Maverick. Now we have the confidence to set the oven to 400 when a recipe calls for 350.

I haven't used it to take oven temps. However, I use it to make caramel, custard, hollandaise & other temp sensitive foods on the stove top. I also use it to grill. It is remarkably accurate. I would bet that it does well taking oven temps. Hope this helps.

No. This thermometer is designed to be used only outside the oven. The manual explicitly warns not to put it into the oven. The probe shaft is metal, but the dial and controls are plastic.
