Can the air temp probe be replaced with a meat probe so you can have two meat probes? One in turkey breast, one in thigh?

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

Yes, this is the way I use mine and monitor two different meat temps in my smoker.

Yes. The seller DBROTH has replacement probes (here on Amazon IIRC) and is very responsive. But do read all the reviews.

They are the shorter probes like the grill temperature probe that was supplied with the thermometer. You can use them for either meat or grill temperature. They have worked fine for me as replacement meat probes.

I've confirmed you can purchase replacement probes from Thermoworks that work with this unit. Any probe designed for their ChefAlarm will work interchangeably with this device. I have both and confirmed it myself. I've switched the probe for ChefAlarm and OXO chef and they both respond the same with temperature. http://www.thermoworks.com/products/alarm/chefalarm.html

No you can't leave it in the meat, it would most likely ruin it. If you want one to leave in the meat try one do the Maverick brand thermometers. They make one that uses two probes--one for the meat and one for the grill, etc.

I believe it goes from 140 or 145 to 180 for the meat probe. The probe will not work with anything other than large cuts of meat. If you used the probe in stew you would also get the temperature of everything else in the pot and not get an accurate reading. That being said the temperature probe works great as I have used it for a whole chicken and a pot roast and both came out moist and tender without being over cooked.

sorry have not tired to use probe on frozen meat and if meat is well frozen i would not try it

Yes, it absolutely can track and display two different temps at the same time. We've used it several times in our propane smoker already and each time I've used the first probe for the meat temp (chicken, beef, and pork so far) and the second probe as the ambient smoker temp. No reason you couldn't track to different meat temps instead.

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.

The probe can withstand temperatures of up to 572 degrees F. If you need, iDevices sells a Pro Meat Probe that can withstand temperatures up to 700 degrees F. http://idevicesinc.com

You have the grill temp probe. The food probe is longer and pointed for easy insertion into the meat. You can buy FOOD PROBES individually or in sets of two.

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.

Yes it can. The probe stays in the protein being cooked, grilled, or smoked and the thermometer has a magnet so it can be on the outside of the oven, grill, or smoker. It also sends the temperature to your smartphone.

Yes. One is smaller for chicken pieces, bacon, steaks, etc. And a bigger one for ribs, roast. You basically use whichever one you want, but yes there are 2 sizes.

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.

No this device like most metal contact probes operates by thermoelectric metalic temperature measurement. We use a larger version of these to measure deep frying of Turkeys with no problem for many years.

I suppose you could since the temperature goes to 400F, but the end of the probe is rounded so it might be difficult to put into meat. I was looking for an easier-to-read candy thermometer, and this is perfect and is designed to fit on the side of the saucepan with the probe in the pan.
