Temperature Probe storage
After a great weekend of cooking and testing my new Smoke(I'm gonna like it).
Does anyone have any good ideas on storing the probes. I wipe them clean and loosely coil them and wrap a couple of twist ties on opposite sides to keep them coiled but they still get tangled while stored. |

..more twist ties?
I use a Smoke and a Maverick for backup and I keep each system in it's own gallon sized ziplock, I store the probes like you do inside those bags. My take is that unless they are tied up tight and not touching ANYTHING else..they're gonna tangle.

I've seen a post on here somewhere, they use a plastic tube, push the probe into it after coiling them up, a really good simple idea.

I have a Maverick and keep the probes coiled in a ziplock bag. I don't really have any tangle problems.

Cause of two kids running around, I'm obsessive about safety. I got Rubbermaid hardened clear plastic containers that can't be stabbed through. I also like that if I space out and leave the unit outside in the Rubbermaid , it won't effect the electronics cause it's protected from rain, wind, dust

Thanks. The ziplocks might be the answer and I can keep the Maverick and Chefs Choice in separate ones. Thought I remembered something about tubes but couldn't find it.

Ditto on the ziplock bag. I coil them into about a 6" loop and right into the bag. Been that way for several years.

yeah every time i went into my accessory drawer i would alway tangle with everything. Since i went to ziplock bags no issues. But one note, if you clean them after using them hang them over a door knob or something to dry first, then place in ziplock for storage.

I wipe them down with alcohol, coil them loosely with a twist tie, and hang them on the frig next to my Dot in a magnetic hook.

I printed a few of these. I had to modify one slightly to fit a thermocouple. They work great if you have access to a 3D printer.
I store them all in a plastic container. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1962968 |
