Pit Termometers Part II

[Westexbbq]

Thanks to a timely post by BBQBULL back around the end of October, I finally got around to pulling my old NB/Oklahoma Joes and tested via the boiling water 212* test; sad to say it had indeed lost it's edge after all these years.
Since momma didn't raise no fool, I ordered a new one from Spicewine that arrived in the mail today, tested spot on to the exact degree needless to say.
(Can't have a box come all the way to Long Island from Missouri with just a pit thermometer so I gave it some company with a few bottles of sauce and rub.)
Thanks Jay for the quality product(s) and thanks to BBQBULL et al for helping keep me up to speed.
Now the debate continues, kinda like fat side up or fat side down in brisket land, as to whether we bring 'em in for the hard winter freeze or not........

Whats the temperature of a sheet of ice from that liquor store on the corner (which looks like a gas station)?

Isn't it a sleeve of ice?

I don't know... We buy ours by the bag here in the midwest...

Are you talking about the thermometers?? I leave mine out year round because I smoke year round. Cold weather doesn't bother them. BTW they are calibratable.
