Anybody know if the probes for these two are interchangeable?

Can't help Jack, I don't know if they are or not.

Kate: they are thermometers for measuring the internal temp of what's
being cooked.

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.

Thanks fer the 'splainin', guys! 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

I have both brands and couldn't honestly tell you which probe goes to which
thermometer.

Don't know, but for what it's worth we have the Maverick Redi-Chek Remote
Smoker Thermometer Model ET-73 which monitors both the temperature of the
grill and the meat inside cooking in our ceramic grill. Works at a distance
of 100 ft. away so we can monitor both temps inside the house. Bought it
from a company called Gadgets Galore.com (or something like that) and it was
$39.95.

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:

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!

Cooking whole pigs the way you describe is a tradition in the Polynesian
cultures. It is the centerpiece of a luau in Hawaii. Tasty.

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

My Polder is one of the things I take along when I'm in self-catering
accommodation, as it takes time to get to know the peculiarities of a
strange oven.

It would be fairly easy to just try it. 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.

Hm... Roasting meat is a bit like putting zips in garments - not
something I've ever had trouble with!

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.

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