Using the probe in a potato is one way of knowing the temp at the grate/rack you have your food is placed on. Temps can vary at different levels depending on the type smoker you're using.GOSM Big Block

the dual probe Maverick i have has a long probe, for the meat, and a lil short stubby probe, that fits in a clip, you attach to the grill........
now some folks who doesn't have a thermo with two probes, will use two digis, with the long probes..........one in the meat, the other long one you can stick thru a piece of wood, or tater.
or when you do ribs, you don't use the meat probe........so you can stick that thru a piece of wood, or a tater..........just make sure the probe tip sticks thru the item you are using to support the probe.........

Thats some great advice Rich, only thing I would add is..................when its time to clean them probes, try very hard not to kink the cables and NEVER emerse the coonections of the probe and cable in any liquid. It will ruin it. I just use wipes to clean mine.Just be real carefull around that connection area and try to avoid alot of water near there.Lang 60 Mobile deluxe

Yep, it's the best way to tell the smoker temp at the food level. A lot of times the thermometer provided with the smoker is inaccurate, or not at the same level of the food. And temps can vary depending on the type of smoker you have. It just insures you keep the food in the desired temperature range.S-M Misfit #16

? I'm thinkin since it is a form of a capillary tube. How far from the tip does the measurement begin. If so...should some should be in the tater er wood? to absorb heat ? tryin to understand heat. Other than a butt chewin!Sunset Eagle Aviation

Treat your thermos nice...or they wont treat you nice.
