Welcome to the dark side you are not alone

Just a Thermapen, and a Tel-Tru on the pit.

I do the same its the best way

Therms on my pits and grills. Thermapen for steak, pork tenderloins/chops and chicken. Everything else I use the very high tech and outrageously expensive........wooden skewer. I have three double probe mavericks. They see no use in the last two years and one is brand new in the box.

I'm currently running a 2" thermometer for probe temps, and an $8 therm stuck in the side of the barrel! No shame there!

Depends on my mood...

I have a $250 grill\smoker with a lid temp gauge and I have a $25 wireless thermometer. The rest is look and feel.

There are a bunch of us who cook by feel..... :thumb: http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/sh...d.php?t=170886

I know some that cook by feel. Been doing it all their life and even cook for a living. It is a hobby for me and I don't have those years of experience/knowledge. I use tools/digital probes to help me till I learn. It is an art I believe!

Yeah, I don't use any of the fancy (expensive) stuff either. Folds have been cooking BBQ forever, fancy tools are new, they seemed to do just fine.

A cheap ol baby monitor works for me... and if the batter dies then I have to get off my arse and go check the pit temp...poke the meat mostly to see when done.

The analog therm in the lid of the stick burner and a $12.00 Taylor digital,
for safety reasons mostly. Just bought that a year ago.

DjPorkchop 11-02-2013 06:54 PM

I have a dial therm in my UDS but it only goes about 2 or 3 inches in the barrel. I have not to date used a therm-pen or anything else on it. Be that as it may, tonight was only my 2nd official run on it. I pondered getting some fancy gadgets but decided to learn to do it by look and feel.
