I added another Thermapen to my tool box. It's the dual, probe/IR therm. Works pretty sweet.

Love it. It's not as fast as my other 2, but it's close. About 6 seconds, and I have all the info I need. The IR is instant of course, not as accurate as the probe, but within a degree and a half anyway.

I guess I don't understand the purpose of IR for 'que? Since it only checks surface temp the only place I can see it being good is to check the temp of the smoker itself. Someone please enlighten me.

It's just a gadget like most of the useless shit we all own. BUT, it's said that the majority of food borne illness comes from the temp probe, pushing the bacteria into the interior of the meat from the surface of the meat. You're supposed to only check the IT once the surface has reached 140°. So I thought the IR would be handy to check the surface temp of meat, plus other stuff no food related. And for the record, it works great.

have been using an et73 as well with great results. had one probe go bad, prolly my fault but it started reading 300 some degrees at room temp. they replaced it free of charge. cant say nothing bad about there product for the price. been thinking about a T-pen too but like gunny mentioned, i got enuff useless chit already, so i suppose i will be getting one sometimes lol!!!
