Are you guy talking about the temp inside of the smoker or temp of the meat. whats the best thermometer to use for monitoring you smoker temp. I have an ECB and I'm looking to buy on so i can get a more accurate temp of the inside of the smoker.

Don't think so as the wire will melt or sensor will open. A dial for quick reference would be most cost efficient for your use. Get one that is recalibratable. A at grate thermometer is best for use while cooking. Most can't take that high temp. A type K with a lead that can take that temp plus more will cost $$$. You can get a temp meter like Thirdeye bought from Thermoworks and get a probe like this one I bought off E-bay

I like this one alot...

I normally don't probe my meat and use both probes to check both sides of the the Mistress. While the signal range isn't huge, I like the fact that I can set both a high and a low temp alarm for the smoker and I can hear the alarm when it's in the kitchen.

I should say that I also have a '73' and when I do find a need to probe the meat I use it for that and the 'Redi-Check' to monitor the smoker.

Thing to remember is Maverick and Taylor I believe sell replacement probes.

ThermoWorks also sells replacement probes
that work with most Polders.
The Maverick probes are interchangeable with the Polder too.
