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.
Meathead has steered us correctly, with the Maverick! ET-732 is my fav, I only own 4, and have given away 3 to friends!
I'll attempt to post the link from the AR Website (if you use their link, is supports the site!) is the link, the one that supports AR, which we love to do!
Buy one TODAY!

Hi, my name is Darrell. I'm an OTR truck driver for over 25 years. During my off time I love doing backyard cooks. I have a 48" Lang Deluxe smoker, Rec-Tec pellet smoker,1 Weber Genesis 330, 1 Weber Performer (blue), 2 Weber kettles (1 black and 1 Copper), 1 26" Weber kettle, a WSM, 8 Maverick Redi Chek thermometers, a PartyQ, 2 SnS, Grill Grates, Cast Iron grates, 1 ThermoPop (orange) and 2 ThermoPens (pink and orange) and planning on adding more cooking accessories. Now I have an Anova sous vide, the Dragon blower and 2 Chef alarms from Thermoworks.

I have the Maverick for my Weber. Question: what's the best way to run the probes? Between the lid and base, through the top vent or through bottom vent. I'm really not into drilling a hole in the Weber. Thanks in advance....

Thanks for the advice, Jerod. Next time I'm going to try the three binder clips to clamp down the lid to the kettle and run the probe lines between the lid and kettle. Just an experiment. If that doesn't help I'll take your advice and drill the holes. Not much heat loss?
-
Fayettejim can't tell a lick of difference with respect to heat loss. If I seal everything else off the coals will still die out with the hole.

I use two Thermoworks ChefAlarms ... crazy accurate, reliable, and not too far off from your $100(ish) budget.

a previous commenter said that to use this thermometer, you had to drill holes into your grill for the probe?
I guess i should ask, how and where do i put the in-grill thermometer? I am in the market for both in-grill and meat thermometer and this looks like a great option.
-
Chris b - You can drill the hole just about anywhere. However, I suggest you locate the hole between the grate and the rim. That keeps the probe wires above the grate, and it's just easier for me to get the probes in and out of the kettle that way. YMMV

I use the iGrill2 and like it a great deal. The interface is much more intuitive than the Mavericks. I used Mavericks prior to the iGrill and I don't think I'd got back to the Maverick.

I had great success with Maverick and still do. I have two of the iGrill2's but haven't used them yet
