Honestly Nate, I won't quote anyone from Cookshack on this. but those probes were made for the vendor/restaurant type application. You could stick a probe in them and once they hit temp, they fall back to that hold temp. My feelings are... If they were meant for comp applications. They would supply them for all purchases. They don't do that, so no need to use it...

Bob, I am not sure why it happens with the 160. I can't argue that, but I know they are different kind of heat. I understand that 160 is 160. but they are different. Like I said, if it works, awesome. But I sure wouldn't be trying it and I have been cooking on a FE for almost 10 years now... Have I tried it? Yes, with no success at all.
