Can you replace the meat probe with another smoker probe to measure both levels in a Weber Smokey Mtn cooker?

As long as it interfaces with the unit (came from the manufacturer) you can.

No it's a single probe and measures one thing at a time. It will measure smoker or oven temp if it's not in the meat and you make sure the probe tip isn't touching anything.

The probe you are trying to use is for the grill temp monitor. There is another for the food which is longer and is pointed! You can get them alone or in sets.

The gauge has a 2 inch diameter and is located on the outside of the smoker. The thermometer/probe fits through a 1/2 inch hole that I drilled in the lid and is about the level of my grate.

The Maverick ET-73 comes with 2 probes. One for food, the other for the smoker/bbq. The probes are not interchangeable. The wires are about 3 feet long, but you cna buy additional longer probes. As long as you follow the use and care instructions (do not submerge the probes in water, only wipe clean) the probes should be fairly durable.

I use mine all the time in my smoker and it works great. You can use the probe in the meat or just stick the probe in the smoker to monitor the temp of the smoker or buy another probe and just alternate plugging them in to check the temps. I have done this with two pieces of meat by just alternating the probes. I would not set the monitor on the actual smoker as I found the heat of the smoker melted the GLUE that held the magnets on the back, a little super glue took care of the problem.

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

Don't know but would suggest taking the smoker measurements and then compare.

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

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.

Hi StevenThe meat probe is 14 cm. and the oven probe is 8 cm. I'm very happy with the tool, it's really easy to use. Have fun!

I have never used a meat probe to monitor the air temperature inside my smoker and I don't think the meat probe will last very long in the higher air temperatures. The meat probe is designed for slow temperature variations and internal meat temperatures rarely exceed 225 degrees

Yes. I bought this and 100-300 degree thermometer to upgrade my masterbuilt smoker. Works better than new. The cord comes out of the opposite side of this unit, fyi.

Not sure on smoker I does supply enough for my 4 burner BBQ w/ side burner accessory if that might help.

I don't see why you couldn't- the probes come out of the base and that transmits to the handheld thermometer.. You will need a shelf or a stand or something near the smoker that you can put that base on - obviously outside the smoker where it's not hot... Since the temps are usually low when smoking I don't think you'll need to worry too much about the internal heat affecting the probe or wire - it will be the placement of the base will be your issue..hope that makes sense?

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 don't think this would be useful in a smoker because the alarm only sounds when the temperature rises above the setpoint. Also I don't think the probe's cable can handle high temperatures. There are other models that are designed for smokers that will allow you to set a range, and the alarm will sound if the temp goes above or below the range. I'm looking for one to use in my smoker and found 1:Maverick Wireless BBQ Thermometer Set - Maverick ET73Maverick M Remote Smoker Thermometer [ET-73] - WhiteI have not purchased that one yet so I have no direct experience with it, but there are over 300 reviews.
