Hey y'all, I've been following the site for awhile now and just got the book last week. Finally bought my first grill the week before that, a Weber Smokey Joe. I know that limits me some, but I'm only grilling for two right now and experimenting mostly with technique and recipes. I've been rather pleased so far and am already making plans to upgrade in the near future.

JeremyLee, Welcome to The Pit! You are Now Enrolled in the BBQ Univ.! Attendance is Mandatory! I'm glad the Prof's are greeting You! Don't Worry about your equipment additions or changes just put a Line Item on the Family Budget for More! These People in the Club are more than happy To Spend Your Money! I might as Well be the First: You need a good Instant Read Digital Thermometer ( I have Thermopen Classiic but would get the MK 4 Today) in addition you need a Dual Probe Leave in Thermometer IMHOP the Maverick either 732 or 733 are good Choices! I have the 733 and like the fact the transmitter allows me to Monitor the Cook & Grill Temps from inside during the Winter! You should be able to buy both for under $200.00! Both can be used on the Grill or in the Oven or Stove Top! I leave it to My Brothers & Sisters to spend the
rest of the Budget!

Thanks for the welcome and advice. I have a question about probe thermometers: how does running the cable under the lid affect leakage? If this has been addressed elsewhere I apologise. I need to spend a little more time looking around the forums. Cellular signal is piped in around here, somewhat irregularly, so I don't get much online time for now.Comment

JeremyLee You will get a little leakage but it probably won't be a big deal. I would suggest you do a dry run to see if you can maintain your target temps with it under the lid. On my 22" kettle I decided to drill a hole for my probes and that has not caused any issues for me. Some folks run the probes under the lid, thru the exhaust vent, and others drill a hole in the base. I use a Slow 'N Sear so I drilled my hole on the side opposite of it, just above the cooking grate. I like having them all neatly in one place. The most probes I have ever run is 2 for meat and 2 for pit temp, but it's usually just 1 & 1.Comment
