Well, I certainly appreciate your interest. They are digital thermometers with a probe on a wire about 3 feet long . Used in barbecue pits for determining the internal temps of the meat. Thy can also be used in ovens and for other types of cooking where internal temp is important.I have just burned my probe up in an extremely hot ceramic bbq smoker, and need to order a new probe.

Ordinary meat thermometers I know about (but have never bothered with), but we don't tend to go in for yer US style mad BBQ-ing here in the UK. Dig a pit that big most places here, and you have a new garden pond! Yup - even here, on the top of the North Downs, with a couple of thousand feet of chalk under us! ;P -- Kate XXXXXX Lady Catherine, Wardrobe Mistress of the Chocolate Buttons http://www.diceyhome.free-online.co.uk Click on Kate's Pages and explore! |

Oh, Kate, you've got a lot to learn about BBQ. A barbeque "pit" hasn't been
a literal hole in the ground for a long time now. It's much easier on the back to build an enclosure out of brick or metal to raise the cooking level to a convenient height. And that way you don't have to worry about the water table rising. When someone nowadays says "pit" they are generally referring to something like this: http://www.sybbq.com/images/8foot/MVC-609S.jpg though "pits" can be as small as trash barrels or as large as locomotives.

Bums! That ain't no pit! Has as much on common wiv a pit as a caravan wiv a cave! ![]() And there was I thinking along the lines of my friend Andy's BBQ pix! He works with David Bellamy on VanuAtu, where they BBQ whole growed up piggies (or chopped up same!) in pits in the ground lined with banananananana leaves! I've hunted about, but the bunch of anthropologists he works with do not appear to have put up a site with any pix on for me to point you too, despite Andy having thousands on his 'puter when I saw him at New Year - we were having a giggle about the piggy that escaped before they could kill it! A substitute pig had to be hauled in for the ritual feast! -- Kate XXXXXX Lady Catherine, Wardrobe Mistress of the Chocolate Buttons http://www.diceyhome.free-online.co.uk Click on Kate's Pages and explore! |

Kate,
I seldom BBQ (using a smoker or oven), but I use my Polder anytime meat goes into the oven. It takes ALL the stress out of cooking. Just set the temperature you want (say 127 degree F for medium rare roast beef (which is 135 F, but you need to allow for carry over cooking), insert the probe, and put the meat in the oven. When it beeps, it's done. Simplicity, and perfect every time. Colin Kate Dicey wrote: > Jack Denver wrote: > >>Oh, Kate, you've got a lot to learn about BBQ.

Connect one probe to the thermometer and check the temp of some boiling water, then try it with the other probe. I'm guessing they are interchangable. They probably both buy a standard thermocouple, possibly from the same supplier. Bill Ranck Blacksburg, Va. |

Large chunk of Aberdeen Angus on the rib goes in at blast furnace heat for 15 minutes, then gets turned down and cooked for as long as needed per pound to make a nice juicy rare roast. Works every time! Meat probe thingy is like special foot for inserting concealed zips: not necessary! ![]() Different meats or cuts get slightly different times and temperatures, according to their needs. -- Kate XXXXXX Lady Catherine, Wardrobe Mistress of the Chocolate Buttons http://www.diceyhome.free-online.co.uk Click on Kate's Pages and explore! |

Same here. The only complications arise with the new dual-temperature sensing probes (for both the food and oven temperature), which are unique. -- Larry |
