I'm sure this topic has been beat to death here, and apologize for
bringing it up again. But, I've been shopping for a good remote pit
thermometer to use in WSM, and have a couple questions.

I've been using a remote thermometer from Oregon Scientific (from
Costco) that works well for meat temp, but the digital readout max's
out at 199 deg, so I can't use it for pit temp. I've looked at Polder
remote thermometers, but the user manuals say to NOT use them for oven
or pit temp.

IIRC, I've seen recommendations for Polder thermometers for pit temps
from you experts. True? Do they work?

Anyway, and rec's for a brand or model will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a heap,

I'm not an expert, but I have used my Polder thermometer in ovens, in deep fat
fryers, in grills of all kinds for years. The wire is very sturdy sheathed
thermocouple wire - why couldn't it go into a pit? The electronics are all
outside. All that's in that wire are two dissimilar wires joined together inside
a sealed tube at the end.
