My crappy oven took a dump and I’m pretty happy about it. I just pulled the trigger on a new “Fridgidair total convection”. Lots of bells and whistles. The three I’m excited about are the griddle burner, the temperature probe, and slow cook feature that holds as low as 100 degrees. Perfect for overnight brisket hold.
100ºF? Wowzers, I've not heard of one that'll go that low. I'm interested in how evenly it holds... 5-10 degree swings, no biggie, 20-30 degree swings could be more of an issue. Graph that thing out! W00T!

Thanks,
How do I graph it? I do have a Meater Block. I’ve never used the WiFi feature. Would that do it?
I figure I can put a couple manual thermometers in it , run it all day, and check it through out the day.
It’ll be pretty cool if I can hold a couple big ole’ briskets at 145 overnight in my oven.
The Meater app will log your temps and graph them in the app, so all you'd have to do is get a screengrab. Our oven cycles on a timescale in minutes, so logging that manually would be a real pain in the keister. The Fireboard app excels here too, if you've got that (but I'm guessing not?)
I want one....just looked at it for a bit. Not as expensive as I anticipated! It does say it can do stuff as low as 100 F. That would indeed make for one awesome brisket holder if the temp swings aren't too crazy.
My oven does not have the low temp cooking, but it does have the built in probe (GE Advantium). My oven will turn off when it hits the probe temp, and I've learned that I can leave the oven light on and it will stay warm for a while longer. I learned one day when I was smoking a corned beef to pastrami. It hit a long stall, and I was tired and wanted to go to bed. I wrapped the corned beef, put in oven, set the probe to 200F (highest probe setting available) and went to bed. Left the light on, mostly so I would remember it was in there when I got up. Slept all night, in the morning I found the oven had indeed turned itself off, but with the oven light on it stayed warm enough to keep the meat eating temp. Didn't think to check the temp of the oven at the end, I will next time. I do that a lot, I did it just a couple days ago when I roasted a turkey for the pot pie group cook. Used the probe, and left light on, and when it hit probe temp it turned oven off. I was doing something I didn't want to interrupt, but when I did get to the turkey it was nice and warm, and not overcooked.
