[GOT14U]

Thanks for the link. I think im going to order their big and loud timer. My little boy ruined mine and I ha e been looking for a replacement

[DangerDan]

Sorry but I just couldn't be sold that I need to spend that much for a measurement 20 seconds faster. Considering Most of the use is for low-n-slow, it takes me more than 20 seconds to probe & remove a rack.

I could see if I was trying to get med. rare from a steak-um. Pulling a steak at 123-125*F and rest works for me. Even a degree or two one way or the other because sea level changed while I was asleep, I could live with.

Exactly...I'm comfortable with my stuff & bringing my IR gun home...gotta a plan...

And how much heat do you lose from the chamber waiting for a measurment? Feeding your family...no big deal. 12:30 pork turn in time...just might be.

[rbranstner]

I love my thermapen. I can see why you would say you would rather use your regular thermometer if you were only doing one or two items but when you have many many items in your smoker and you need to check the temps on them to make sure they are all done or if some need to stay on longer or what not then there is no replacement for a instant read thermometer so you can get your temps figured out and get that smoker closed again. If you don't want to spend the $100 (or what ever they are now) just contact them and you can buy a referbished one for half the price thats what I did.

I'm sure there are other things that would contribute to the same outcome eh?

I just cook for the family. Takes me maybe 3 seconds to get a reading. Like i say, can't see it.....

[DDave]

It's all relative I guess. Needs versus wants. Did I need one? No. Did I want one? Yeah. So I got one.

I use it for everything. Low and slow. Steaks, burgers, chicken thighs, pork chops, tri tips, fish, instant read works great when you've got the whole grill covered with chicken thighs of different sizes etc, testing the temp of hot water to check my water heater setting -- pretty much anytime I need an accurate temp reading. I'm not cooking at a restaurant so I guess close would be good enough. But I did find that I was overcooking a lot of stuff.

And the small tip is nice. You can get a temp reading without driving a railroad spike into your meat.

My wife uses it too.
