Great to have you join us! What types of wood do you have available locally? I'm kind of a nerd for that sort of thing, and I definitely like to not break the bank in acquiring it.

Welcome aboard Marcin! I could'nt help but smile, when you mentioned getting ready for summer. We are getting ready to hunker down for the big chill up here. Enjoy the ride & the cooking!

Glad you found something. I went to the thermistors because I wanted 4 channels, and that approach simplified layout. It only takes a few minutes to calibrate and if you stick to one particular type of probe, they're interchangeable. This is getting a little too geeky for a bbq board!!!!

Thanks for the tip johnec00 , however the answer is too much - US$15 (more than the probe!). But your response did prompt me to do another eBay search and I found a couple of k-type probes shipped cheap from China which I couldn't find last time! Ordered one straight away.
For example: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/K-Type-Th...cAAOSwLN5WhyTb
I use the MAX6675 as well, they work really well. I found resistive probes are much harder to work with because each one is different and you need to work out the right values for the formulas to get a temperature value out of them (and then spend extra time calibrating / verifying).

Welcome Marcin. For what its worth, I tested this probe along with a MAX6675 in my Atmel AVR based thermometer. Eventually went to thermistors though because they're more commonly available.

I have no idea what they would charge to ship it down under!

Welcome to The Pit Marcin! Great to have you here with us, thanks for your support. I am jealous that summer is starting for you, as it's just ending for us. The days are getting short, and in my area of the USA there's a chill in the air that will only get worse.... But the cookers get no breaks here!
