Good probes?

Are you exposing the part of the probe where the wire comes in to the probe to water?

That's excellent news! I'll probably pick up a Smoke next year, so I'll grab one of the probes for now... Thanks for checking!

As it turns out tho I just happen to have the Smoke and one of those ThermoPro TP08 type thermos. I say type because if you look on Amazon there are a few companies that sell that same thermo under different names. The only differences from the names are the colors of the cases.
I was curious, so to answer your question I fired up my Smoke and ThermoPro and the Smoke probes do work in the ThermoPro. The Smoke probes when inserted into the ThermoPro did read a couple degrees higher and the ThermPro probes when plugged into the Smoke did read a couple degrees lower.
So yes, the Smoke probes should work with your ThermoPro.

I remember my Dad putting his wrist watch in a warm oven to dry out condensation under the glass. So when my GFs (now wife) watch fogged up I showed her this trick. Plastic lens. Oops. Still married me.
Transmitters should be done the same a phone. Sealed up in a bag of uncooked rice.

Yes, someone here actually did that.
Seriously, they did.
I kid you not.
(just kidding, it wasn't me)
I did however bake my transmitters on low to dry them out because they wouldn't work and had water in the display. I cannot recommend this to anyone though.

You could stick the probe end in a 350 degree oven for an hour or two. Might have some built up moisture.

Good probes?
I've got a ThermoPro TP08 dual probe thermometer and I'm already on my second grill probe and this one appears to be on the fritz. It's currently registering 174, but if I stick my Thermopop through the top vent or crack the lid slightly and slide it in from the side I'm reading well over 300!
Are there better probes? Do I need to do something to prolong the life of them?Tags: None
