Knows what a fatty is.
Keep going thru food probes quickly.They start reading way off on temps any suggestions.

I have an ET 732 with the 2 origonal probes plus 2 of the long ones.
I put a bit of "heat shrink" tubing about 2 inches long at the place where the cable meets the probe.
Have had no problems whatsoever.
Did the same for my multitude of Taylor probes and stopped the failures totally.

Sounds like a good tip. I have had problems with the probe that measures pit temp after it has been in for several hours. It will shoot up to 500 plus degrees or measure HHH. I think this happens when I start spraying my butts and briskets. My guess is that I am getting a short. Your tip should fix that problem. Thanks.

Never had any issues with my probes. To the OP, if you are going through them so quickly can you identify why? When you say they are reading way off on temps, how are you determining this?

My short cables had serious issues, so I ordered the longer cables as replacements, much better, but when I turn it on, the cooker probe is 10 degrees hotter than the food probe.

Are there any better probes for a Maverick other than the ones sold by the company?

I went thru several el cheapo wireless thermos (back when the "cheap" ones cost $40) until I got it thru my skull that the wire can't be near a flame. keep it high and avoid grill use. If your sticking them in a weber, your probably frying them. I haven't fried one in 5 years.
