BBQ Thermometers

[bbq_tom]

Guys,

I have recently built a smoker and am not real happy with my choice of thermometers. Both which I bought online have produced internal condensation on there first overnight stay (no rain/1 of the thermometers is virtually unreadable). I have used the BBQ brand thermometers (colored red,blue & white).

Can anyone recommend a quality thermometer which has not condensated so much that they have trouble reading the correct temp?

Tom,

I know a lot of folks have bought thermometers from Jay at Spicewine and they've been very happy.

Tel-True are some of the best I have ever seen.

I bought mine from spicewine and have been very happy with it. Not a bad price either.

Ditto.... for the price it can't be beat IMHO. Beside, then I can tell people I have a Spicewine UDS!!!

Is there a Brethren discount on the Spicewine therm?

You can't get much better than this....You can't go wrong as long as your dialed into the Ideal range

Tel Tru makes some very nice thermos, and they stand behind their products. I especially like them b/c they are manufactured in Rochester, NY.

I like the looks of the Tel Tru BQ300 (4"). However, they are not recalibrate-able. This Spice models apparently are, and I would value that capability.

My Backwoods came with a Tru-Tel and it's money ... so far. But like mentioned above, I don't think it's recalibrate-able - at least it doesn't have anything that indicates that it is.

Thus, I make sure it's off the smoker during transport and packed well. If/when it comes time to buy a new one it will be on that is calibrate-able.

I test it every few cooks with a remote digital and gotta love when they read the same temp - then I also know my remote is money.

I have 5 or 6 Tel-Tru's and they all work great. And I think that they will recalibrate them for you for free if it is needed. But I have never had a single problem with them.
