    So I bought a Dot for some reason

    I got my sister a thermopen so I figured I would order myself something and went with a Dot. Now that I have it, it kind of seems like a one probe thermometer is a waste. Maybe I'll park it at my gas grill though. Gonna use it here in a bit.

    I have one to use indoors in the oven and with a pot clip it works well for monitoring frying oil.

    Also is easy enough to use and doesn’t require a phone so when you have helpers cooking stuff it’s very useful.

      I was thinking I might pair it with the oven too. Good idea.

    Well, for what it is I did like the Dot. The user interface is very simple and its aesthetic is attractive. This chicken was pulled at 157f and was nice and tasty.

      Love my dot (that I technically purchased for Sophia) and we are getting a few for work.

        I use my DOT all the time indoors. Great for the oven.

          I just got a dot too! I have a smoke already, but I’ve had times when I wanted an extra probe, the dot is pretty cheap so I figured why not.

            Yep, use mine for the oven too or stuff I'm holding in the cooler.

                Since I'm starting to like the Dot maybe I should get a red one to match that grill.

                I have one and use it with the oven a lot. I also have the needle nose probe for it. I always liked that for doing spot checks and using similar to an instant read for things in the back or hard to reach places of vertical smoker so I could read it easier and didn’t have to keep my head in a smoke cloud. You will find uses for it. May not be as often as a thermapen but it has its place.
