I really like my ThermoWorks Smoke dual probe thermometer, but something kinda bugs me. Is there any way to stop the "noP" warning (short for no probe) from continually blinking on and off? When you aren’t using one of the probes, it continuously blinks on the remote module. Not a big deal, but I was wondering if there’s any way to turn off the blinking noP? Also, is there any way to turn off the half of the screen that’s not being used? Example: I’m cooking ribs right now and I’m not using the meat probe, only the grate probe. Is there any way to turn off the top half of the screen for the meat probe? (on the base). Thanks
If’n ya ask me, & you’ll probably be sorry ya did, lay off the drugs that keep ya fixatin on watchin yer thingies there. If ya look at sumthin else it won’t bother ya. Then again maybe the hum’ll just draw ya back to lookin. It’s a jungle out there.
PS. I really like my Smoke too, er to, er also.

Upstate NY, by upstate I don't just mean 30 miles north of NYC ;-)
My current cookers include a Shirley Fabrication 24x36 patio model; Weber Performer with the Slow-n-Sear 2.0 & Drip & Griddle; Pit Boss Series 2 propane smoker & SnS Travel Kettle.
Straight Whiskey: I'm a bourbon guy. All time favorite Pappy Van Winkle 12 year. Standard go to Blantons
Blended Whiskey: James Oliver American Whiskey
I also enjoy an occasional cigar
My suggestion is to develop and market your own new line of limited edition PJ Smoke Shutter brand display cover, based on 3M electrical tape technology.
bbqLuv you may have heard of that, but you'd be wrong. Panhead John products are only of the highest quality. That is obviously not a duck or a duct, so that's the tape that inferior brands might use. Top quality brands like PJ Smoke Shutter know that this is an electric. A tape for an electric must be used. That's the PJ difference.
I haven’t found a way. I just tap the remote button to stop the alarm (which goes off each time I start it up) and just ignore the blinking. I’d love to know if there’s a way.

About Me
My name is Josh, not Joey (surprise), and I reside in Central Ohio. I have been grilling since I could drive, and smoking for around 15 years. Over the past couple of years I have gotten more into just cooking, and really enjoy sous vide and the flat top. I find myself experimenting with different foods and new ways of cooking as an outlet to work stress. I use every piece of equipment I own regularly, with the exception of the electric smoker. That only gets brought out on occasion to make jerky.
My favorite beverage is bourbon. I typically have at least 8-10 bottles open at any given time. While I have favorites, I enjoy sampling new and different varieties.
Thanks Joey. I took a look at it and figured my "problem" wasn’t worth $100. Also, some of the reviews weren’t exactly kind to the actual functioning abilities. Glad yours works good though.
Hmm, maybe I should have read some reviews first. I have had mine for probably around a year and have had no issues. I always had issues with the included remote losing the signal, but since moving to the gateway have had no issues at all.
