if i got a pbc id rather not have to open and use thermapen to check meat. can i insert dot or chef alarm in meat and the wire wont get burned by the heat? the pbc doesnt cook indirect.
I'm not familiar with your thermometers but I use a Maverick et-733 with no issues. I just insert a probe through one of the rebar holes and hang it on the rebar. The picture below is how I use it. If I want to monitor meat temperature I'll do the same thing just insert a probe in the meat. It is direct heat but if you follow the lighting instructions and set the vent cap properly you'll be in the 260-330ish temp range. Plenty safe for a thermometer probe.
