Thermometer for cookshack

Check out www.smokintex.com

You can purchase a probe type thermo-timer for $38. It will drop thru the top vent hole of your smokette or 50.

Pre-set the desired finished temp. and BINGO - it'll wake you up

Do a search on this forum under the topic of "Polder" thermometers. There has been a lot of discussion on it. I have seen the "Polders" (and thier like) anywhere from $5 to $40.

Run the probe cable through the vent hole. It is no problem.

Good Luck

Home Depot currently selling a discontinued Sumbeam Grillmaster "polder" type probe thermometer for $3!! You can't beat that. I found them hanging next to the grill replacement parts and accessories.

Hey,nj-pony.Thanks for the heads up!....If that is the same one that Lowe's closed out for $6.00,they are great. I bought several and my relatives keep snagging them...If they are the same,I'll buy another dozen.

Here's a connection to a new inexpensive remote thermometer. Regards JJ http://www.thegadgetsource.com/bbqtempchecks.html

The Le Gourmet Chef stores located in outlet malls carry the "Deluxe Remote Check" 2-probe remote temperature monitor for $59.95. It is accurate and saves a lot of running outside to check temperatures. The phone # for the store in St. Augustine, FL is 904-808-7311. They can ship to you or refer you to a store close to home.

Glad to pass along a good deal Tom. Let me know if you find them. Hope you all have success finding those polder clones. I gave them a close look and I'd bet the ranch that they are made in the same factory as the Polder and the price difference is the Polder name on that unit. I think I'll go back to the Depot tomorrow and buy up the rest of their inventory!

Hey,nj-pony.....I went to Home Depot and no luck. They have only the two sizes of Accurite....He says each area may have their own closeout stock....He can't order a store transfer from them because it isn't on computer. His suggestion was call the local store,give them a credit card #,and pay to have them shipped...I still have a drawer full,so I don't really need a bunch...If you have that store # and phone number,you might post it here for others....I agree about the manufacturers of all those units. My probes are all interchangable...Sunbeam has been going through a type of bankruptcy in some of their divisions and apparently dumped those units.

Hey Tom. I went back to the Depot this morning and the display was pretty much as I had left it (had obviously been there a while as it was covered in dust. There were 10 left so I just bought them all. Basically got all 10 for the price of 1 Polder. Guess I have 16 or so total so that should hold me for a while. We have another Depot about 15 minutes away so I may take a run down there. I'm sure once I've doled some out to family and friends I will really reduce the supply.

!@#$%%^^&&***((

LOL, darn....I went to both Home Depot and to Lowes, and nobody even knew what I was talking about. They have never carried digital thermometers. Maybe they only carry them in the big city stores, but not here. Darn, I was really wanting to get 4 or 5 or so of them.

Hey Woodking, if I can get anymore maybe we can work something out!

sounds great nj-pony,
let me know....I can send you a money order or a personal check...or you could give me the name and phone # of the store that has them and maybe I could use my credit card and have them ship them to me. Whatever you think would work out best without causing you much hassle. email me if you want at smokymeat@yahoo.com

Thanks, I appreciate your offer. I'll take 5 or 6 if you can find that many, but even 2 or 3 would be great.

Hey woodking. 2 or 3 shouldn't be a problem. Give me a couple of days to see if I can locate some more at the other local Depot and I'm sure I can help you out. I'll e-mail you by next week.

Sounds great !! Thanks for your help. If they have a bunch of them and they will ship to me, just give me their phone # and I'll use my credit card, otherwise I will send you a check or money order.
