Silly Question?

[RGrunz]

I am seeking a way to get another temp probe involved in my cooks. Can I substitue a meat probe for the smoker temp probe on a Maverick?

You sure can. I tossed the smoker temp probe on all of my Mavericks and replaced them with meat probes.

You can use the pit probe as a food probe and visa versa. The pit probe won't get as deep as a food probe but will work just the same.

STC, did you actually throw the pit probes away??

 

[sparky]

there are no stupid question on this forum. just learning. it's all good partner.

No.. I lost one and then gave the other to a guy cooking up a PID controller with an Arduino kit. He wanted to be able to support off-the-shelf temperature probes, and the ET-73 and ET-732 are the most popular. (and they are very difference, by the way)

That had nothing to do will pellet smoking, he was building a controller for electric box smokers.

thanks guys, i think i will just order another food probe from BP... My sweetie accidently put one in the dishwasher a month ago...lol
BP got me one out the following monday..... I appreciate all the input, and I can still have the food probe for a backup if I need it.

Squirt, tell me more about the difference between ET73 ET732... I am planning on buying a 732 in near future.... I know about some of the differences in features, but were you addressing probe differences? thanks, ralph

BTW, Doesn't Poulder make all of these probes anyway?

no most probes are made in china these days>>>>I sell the 732...and Its decent but they all suck. truthfully I have about six this year and I have to fish around...I use the mak armored probe on my maks and am very happy in the end they are just as cheap cause they dont break

 

[squirtthecat]

What he said...

 

[Big Poppa]

I try my very best to sell the best but there really isnt any for these cheap temp systems

I truly love to do business with an Honest Man. Thanks BP.

I am having far better luck with my ET-732 than the older models. Weather resistant and built tough. If they could only make the probes better... They are good about replacing the ones that go bad, I will give Maverick Support credit for that.
