Probes...got it. No, I have to wonder about those who pursue proctology. Glad they're there when you need them, but there are so many professions that don't involve....well, you know.
Dave that's the conclusion I came to when I seen the 733 and wanted my second Mav. I felt like why do I need to see Beef on the display, blah blah blah. I love the 732 too, but I have my different meat temps memorized, there are probably many folks who don't.
Started Low-N-Slow BBQ in 2012. Obviously, it's taken hold (in chronological order:
1.) A pair of Weber Smokey Mountain 22.5's
2.) #LilTex, a 22" Expensive Offset Smoker (looks like a Yoder Witicha)
3.) #WhoDat1, a HUGE Gravity Fed Insulated Cabinet Smoker (cooking chamber 3'x2'x6')
4.) A Full Size Commercial Dryer/converted to Vertical Smoker.
5.) Jambo Backyard stickburner (my FAVORITE Pit so far)
6.) GrillMeister, a huge 24"x48" Adjustable, Charcoal Grill from Pitmaker.com
7.) 22" Weber Kettle with Slow-N-Sear
8.) Vault insulated reverse-flow cabinet smoker from Pitmaker
9.) BarbecueFiretruck...under development
10.) 26 foot BBQ Vending Trailer equipped with HUGE Myron Mixon 72xc smoker is HERE, Oct 2016!
11.) Opened www.PaulsRibShackBarbecue.com Food Trailer officially in March 2017
12.) Austin Smoke Works 500 Gallon Propane Tank Offset Smoker, named "Lucille" as travel pit for PaulsRibShack, Oct 2018.
12.) Opening Brick & Mortar location at 4800 Nelson Rd, Spring 2019. Had a pair of 1,000 Gallon Austin Smoke Works pits, both in RibShackRed for our new place!
Fabulous Backlit Thermapens, several Maverick Remote Thermometers (don't use any remotes anymore), Thermoworks Smoke, Other Thermoworks toys, Vacuum sealer, lots and lots of equipment...
I'm loving using BBQ to make friends and build connections.
I have #theRibList where I keep a list of new and old friends and whenever I'm cooking, I make 1 to 20 extra and share the joy.
Just to be clear, will the meat probe work for a grill temp sensor as well?
I just bought my second Maverick...and I'm sensing a 3rd soon, as well as the gasket set for my WSM...and the computer controlled fan thing...and the stainless door...
And the cooker probe can be easily slipped into raw meat and used as a meat probe. When I buy extension robes I buy either the hybrids or meat probes but they're all interchangeable.

By way of update- the free knives are awesome. Very sharp, lightweight, can't tell you're holding it. My only complaint, since I have to find one, is that I wish the blades were just a bit longer. I used them to trim (prep) my ribs the other day and they just melt right through meat & fat, but they're not trimming knives they're steak knives. Not bad for free.
This reminds me I really need to finish my thermometer, the current board allows 6 sensors but it can be taken to 36. Just deciding on whether to have it send text messages or give it its own twitter account and let it tweat the updates.
Good info guys. I fried my food probe apparently. Was using the hamburger grill technique described elsewhere and, well, when I cranked up the heat on the gas grill and put oil on the burgers, I had a flash fire. No damage to the meat. It was delicious. Now I am ready to smoke a brisket and all I get is HHH. Since I'm using a Pit Barrell Cooker, I will forgo the cook temp and place the probe in the meat.

If it doesn't come back around, you can pick up replacement probes on Amazon (please use our link), they average $15 each for the 6' ones, which are a step up from the stock 3' ones. They now offer "hybrid" probes which are long & pointed like the food probe (6"), but straight, no curve. They can be used either/or as cooker or food probe. As we've pointed out above you can use the stock probes as either/or too if you want.
If your Mav is relatively new give Maverick an email [email protected], you may be surprised to find how they'll work with you. They can be slow to answer though, but my experience with them has been positive.

Thought I would let you know I did get the replacement already. No need to contact the company, they didn't mess up... 8-)
