Thermometer use

This is the FEC forum, and I know nothing about the cookshack electrics. I have FEC 100s, and they have a door gasket. I use Maverick remote thermometers and just sit them on top and close the door around the probe cables.

Not sure how the 008 works, but I have the 50 and you can just slide your probe thru the hole/smoke vent on the top of the unit and then insert it into your meat. I just lay my receiver/transmitter up on top of the unit, plug it into the wiring and go watch TV while the CS does the rest.

I'm assuming the 008 has the vent in the top as well? If so, you should be able to slide the probe down thru the vent.

Yes, run it through the top vent hole like in the attached picture.

Thanks guys. I appreciate the input and will give it a try. The 008 does have a vent at the top.

I have an 008, but it's built into an outdoor closet with a flue running from the vent through the roof, so I have been running my wire through the corner of the door and set the display on the countertop. No problems with that so far.

I must be confused I thought this was the open forum. Must be some kind of link error.

I think this was originally on the FE forum, and one of the administrators moved it. After a few cool ones, who knows.
