What am I to do with 2 smoker probes? Wouldn't a smoker probe AND a food probe be more useful?

Hey Mike, I use both smoker probes during the beginning of the cook to take multiple readings at different locations in the box. Once I have the box where I want it I usually have a few things cooking and I'll have both the food probes in use. I'll just swap them out from time to time. I have found it very convenient after ordering the 2 food probes and 2 smoker probes. Plus if you were a competition smoker you would not be caught dead without a backup, thats what this package facilitates.

You are looking to replace the probe on your thermometer? I bought two because I wanted a spare so I did not get caught without one, like I did when my original quit.

I agree with Jim B. You buy 2 to have a spare. Belive me, once you start to depend on this you will be very upset it it goes down and you do not have a spare right in the middle of a cook.

They are hybrid probes, as mentioned in the description. You can use one or both to monitor the smoker chamber temp.

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.

Yes, it can be used with a smoker. I have used mine several times to measure temps towards the end of a cook, and no issues.

It depends on how thick your food is. The tray sits on top of the wood chips and you just need to be sure that you can still slide the cover of the smoker over everything. Also, the granulated ones get smokey a lot faster. Other than that, I don't see why not.

As suggested, I watch for the smoke coming through the vents and immediately close them to continue with the smoking. Make sure that the lid is tight and there will be not smoke problem. The first smoker I received did not have a tight lid - as seen before using - I returned it (no shipping cost to me). After reporting the problem, a new smoker was sent out immediately before I'd shipped the first one back. While the house is not full of smoke, there is a lingering aroma for a day or two. I don't find it unpleasant. It is suggested that the room be vented during the smoking, but I've not found it necessary. Know that it was a good choice for us.

Yes I have used this probe on all of my smokers from my Medowcreek TS250 down to my personal home smoker which i ran the probe down thru the chimney because it has a front door that has to close tightly even my greenegg lid closed just fine. You do have to be careful and close the lid slowly as to not break the probe cable. This is a great probe I have had it for a few years now. Hope this helped.

its designed to use the bisquettes. there are apple, hickory bisquettes. its the only way to get the smoke otherwise you will be opening it all the time to add smoke to it and looseing the heat and smoke at the same time.

are you buying the right probe for the right machine? I am on my second probe in 3 years, and still have 2 on the shelf. Is the battery weak? I have never had a problem.

Hi Kathy, It is not expensive to use the smoker. We are still having trouble keeping ours running. The temperature probe only makes it through one use. We think the control box is bad. The food we have been able to cook was delicious.

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).

I ordered the extra probes because they were twice as long as the ones that come with the unit. The extra length allows me to keep the transmitter farther away from the heat of the smoker, also I can keep track of 4 items by changing the probes on the transmitter. Never has a problem with the probes that come with the unit.

We do not carry extra probes for this item. You would need to contact the manufacturer to see if these are available and where you can purchase it.

The charcoal side works as a smoker. Just add the what ever flavor "smoker" chips you like and you can smoke any kind of meat.

These probes are a longer version of the ones supplied with the unit. The ones shown are for the chamber/grill temp.They might be able to be used as food probes, although I have never tried that. Long probes designed for use as food probes are sold also.

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

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.
