Hey guys,
I'm using a kettle grill to smoke right now, but I'm having trouble with temperature control.
What I'm looking for is a thermometer set that includes a meat probe along with a probe for the temperature at grate level. Ideally, I want to be able to read the meat's temperature as well as the temperature inside the smoker without having to open the lid. Any product recommendations? THANKS!

Does this also tell you the temperature inside the smoker? or just the meat temperature? thanks

A quick Google search on "digital thermometer dual probe" shows Taylor makes a couple...with others listed as well.

I use Taylors and Nu-temps. The Nu-temps are great but eat batteries as there is no on/off switch but you can hook up to 3 probes to it and watch temps from the family room. :cool::cool::cool:

Don't buy a dual probe. Although some people swear by them I believe you have a far better chance of being disappointed. I'd go with two of the, above mentioned, Thermoworks oven thermometer.

Nice thanks for the heads up! I just ordered 2! What's the best way to mount it to get a grate temp?
