Re: Thermometer accuracy

This is my first thermometer for cooking so to speak, aside from a few my wife has for pork loin or turkey. Frankly, after everything I've read about this phenomenal tool, I am a bit disappointed. It is quite similar to a few weather thermometers I have that sets hi and lo points except for the CC ...

Re: Thermometer accuracy

I just got a Maverick TC 733 Right out of the box one probe didn't work. I tried swapping ports and it followed so I knew it was bad. It had LL on the display.

Re: Hello all

My first experience with my smoker was similar but it was because I was changing things way too much. I quickly learned to just let it sit for a while and not make constant changes. However with the UDS I am guessing you get much quicker reactions from the smoker so maybe you do need to make some c...

Hello all

Hey everyone. I love to bbq and smoke meats like crazy. I live in Pensilvania. I like to build things rather then buy them. I build and sell custom poker tables on the side. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/10/zygamydy.jpg I like wood working and cars. I have a 71 charger http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14...
