Only reads the temperature at the tip of the probe!

The accuracy of this product needs to be greatly improved. While the long probe allows you to reach the center of larger foods like pork ham or brisket, it lowers the temperature to the lowest temperature across the entire probe. That means if you don't center the tip perfectly, the best you can do is guess your true temperature. I used three separate wires on three sets of pork ribs at a time. (Smiles at three shelves at once). Initially I was able to get all three sensors to read within 1-2 degrees of each other, which should be accurate since they were all primed together. After 5 minutes in my smoker the difference between the probes was 40 degrees because I couldn't keep the probe in the middle of the smoker because they are so long that a hit could push them further. I use an Oklahoma Joe Offset Smoker and three sets of ribs shouldn't be a problem. As a result, I have to open the lid multiple times to instantly check all temperatures because I just can't trust those sensors. If you are looking for something you can trust every time I would recommend not buying this product. Do some research and find a device that will measure the temperature across the entire sensor so if you can't center us exactly you'll still have a fairly accurate temperature.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Neutral
