Hi everyone,

Any recommendations for a thermometer you can put in meat and leave in while
grilling?

I just got a weber silver b a few days ago and really want to learn how to
grill better!

Thanks,

SA Dev

Yes. Here's one.

OOPS! You said grilling. This one only goes up to about 400 degrees, and while
that's great for the meat temps, you'd probably burn out the probe wire at
grilling temperatures.

Maverick and Polder make such a thermometer

Weber makes one. It's about $30.00 has the probe wire and a wireless
remote monitor to check the temp from inside the house.

Both of which are NOT meant for use for grilling. The probe's wires will
fry.

Hey Dev.....just get one of those instant read therms that sanitarians use.
Or just learn how to tell doneness by feel. The old cheek, forehead nose
trick. That, at least for grilling beef is the answer. For chicken, when
the juice from a cut through the dark meat runs clear, you're there.

Hi SA Dev,

The Polder & Maverick Probe Wires don't handle 400°F well.

I would try a meat thermometer that is intended for use in the oven.
Also, a thermocouple would probably work as well, but you need to
select the proper sheath material and I don't have much experience
here.

Hope This Helps,

If you jump on the gadget source (www.gadgetsource.com) you'll find
a very cheap meat thermometer made all of metal. The top part will
withstand pretty high temps and the therm part will be controlled by
the temp of the meat itself. Disasters will only cost about $3. Look
for a gadget shaped kind of like a stop sign with the pole and all.

I've got one of those small all metal with a glass? type top thermometers
like this one:

I bought it for $5, could I leave it in the meat? What type of temps do you
think it could stand?

Thanks!

Who was it that had the industrial electronic thermometer? It wasnt too
expensive and measured temps up to something like 1,000F IIRC. I've lost
the link. I'm thinking Fluke, but..........

Here's a bunch up to 482F
http://www.thermoworks.com/products/...netration.html

Oooh, non contact infrared thermometer
http://www.action-electronics.com/thermom.htm#Laser
.. Measures to 1022°F without contact
.. Super Large LCD display with backlighting
.. Built-in laser pointer to improve aim
.. °F/°C switchable
.. Emissivity (0.1 to 1.0)
.. Pocket sized with carry case

Laserpointer? Pocket carry case? Can anyone say geektoy?! How many will have
this on their Christmas list?
There's two there, one up to 1022F and a cheaper one goes up to 600F.

I called tech support, they confirm that 600 deg grill temp is no problem
for this product.

this product is available at Costco, see

And yet, both URLs say, "Temperature sensor's range -32F to 392F"?

Any digital thermometer that takes wideband type K thermocouples will
go to 2500 °F. Fluke (www.fluke.com) does indeed make them; I own
one. Their web site is so unresponsive at the moment that I can't be
bothered to find the exact URL. Alternatively Google on type K
thermocouple.

The temperature indicator is for THE FOOD, and arguably there shouldn't be
much use for the range above boiling point (give or take the Dead Sea and
Death Valley barbecue joints). So, while the steaks are sizzling and
searing toward culinary perfection, can the rest of the device (i.e. the
temp probe's LEAD) handle the 600 deg or so required for searing ? The
answer is YES.

Speaking of thermocouples, where's Jack Curry and/or Monroe...?

That one's got a plastic face. I wouldn't try it. Here's the one I was
thinking
of. It's all metal. Costs $9 though. I think I've seen them cheaper in the
big
box stores.
