Temperture meat probe

you need to also get yourself a Thermopen or other thermometer to chek temps. Also, meat will often hit a plateau and hold for a while. I've found that the CS probe has abeen pretty accurate but usually to another check to confirm.

Is the 150 the temp of the meat or the smoker?

You're correct, you do need to test the probe because you don't know how accurate it is.

thanks okie its starting to come up now,just took a lot longer than I thought. I will get another probe just to check things out. There's alot to learn and I'm real glad you guys are out there.

Be a great time to read the new owners forum and the thermometers forum.

Tom Didn't think asking a question was that big of a deal! Merry Christmas

The temps on big hunks of meat plateau, and if we didn't read the information in the 101's and threads for the type of product we're cooking, we'd all go, "what the ..., is something broke"?

Tom's giving you good advice and is trying to be helpful. You'll still have plenty of questions after reading this stuff. I still do. But the information Tom mentioned is priceless.

Hope the Q turns out great.
