Weber Smokey Mtn...

What are you guys using for thermometers? I want to find something I can clip onto the grill or something outside, otherwise the reading station always falls on the ground, lol.

For a long time I used the NuTemp (701 I think).

You can get grommets that replace two of your bolts that hold the cooking racks. Then you can insert the temp probes through the grommets. I put the base units on one of those folding TV trays right next the to the cooker. The advantage is that you are measuring actual cooking grate temp and not dome temp.

I've been using this Maverick wireless thermometer for the past 7-8 months, the best $40 I have spent in a long time.

It has 2 probes, so I hang one inside the holes at the top to read the temp inside the WSM and the other goes in whatever meat I am cooking. Before I would be up every 10-15 minutes going outside checking the temperature, but now I can set a high/low temp so it will beep if the temp drops too much or goes too high. The readings are very accurate (did the ice water test) and I have had no problem at all with the wireless signal "dropping".

I used the Maverick Redi-Check. It has one probe for the meat, one for the grill. I've many reviews that were not kind, but I for one have never had a problem with it.

I started using the Kingsford Competition this weekend as Costco is carrying it now. The biggest difference I noticed was that it lights so fast compared to the regular.
