Takin' a cow's temperature

[TexasGuppie]

Well...at least the brisket portion of the cow.

I want one of them fancy digital thermometers that have two probes: one to stick in the meat and another to measure cooking level temps. I know Polder makes a few models and I'm looking for advice on a particular model that you experts deem to be the best.

Please...help the little fish.

Thanks,

Ken

Nu temp seams to be popular around here.

Don't get a weber. Single probe and low max temperature. That's what I've got and don't like it.

I have had good luck with a Maverick ET-73. Ordered online.

NuTemps rock! One receiver can handle 3 probes.

I load up on the Pyrex probe thermo's when on sale. Pretty durable compliment to my Nu Temps

Bill, I was looking at those yesterday. Do they go hot enough to monitor pit temp? If so I'll get a couple.

I think they do. I can't recall. Think it might be 300* before HHH

I usually like throwing them in a pork butt, or pork loin, because both are very predictable (heat to 150 range, stick for couple hours, then 2 hours to 190).

I use the Nu temps for pit temps, so I can sit in the house on my ass and watch TV.

Found it

• Stainless steel probe
• Read temperature while oven is closed
• Alarm sounds when preset temperature is reached
• Magnetic back or display stand
• Large, easy to read temperature display
• C or F conversion, battery included
• Temperature range for thermometer is 32-392 degrees F or 0-200 degrees C

I forgot another thing I love is the magnets on the back. Sticks to the leg of the Bandera nicely

For $13-$15, pretty durable.

My only problem is replacement probes are $9 so with shipping, I end up tossing the whole thing and buying a new unit.

I bought a Nu-Temp 701 with three probes, told them I was a Brethren and they gave me an excellent deal.

Works better than my other two wireless thermometers (Gourmet Wireless and Weber).

How was the deal on shipping to the UK?
