Remote Probe via online viewing

Former Member

Is anyone aware of a probe where I can monitor my smoker and food temp remotely via online? My goal was to load my smokette in the AM, head to work and throughout the day check on my temps without having to run home and physically check every few hours.

There are a couple of options. You could get a "stoker" which is actually made to "stoke" and control pits with a fire but can be used to monitor temps only. You can then set it to send twitter updates or set up a webpage you can log in to.

Another option is here... with a webcam and a remote thermometer...

why not just use a wifi webcam and look directly at the CS control panel? They are relatively cheap and don't need a computer attached and running all the time.

It sounds like you are cooking big meats?

If you aren't worried about losing power altogether,which is rare-

On your Smokette,another low tech option is have the cooker running at an actual 200º.It won't overcook the big meats.

When you get home,kick it up to max and have a cold drink.

Part of being a cook is making the cooker work for you,and a little experience will make it easy.

Just a thought.
