NU TEMP NU-701 Deal

[Pigs On The Wing BBQ]

I broke down and ordered one just to see what all the hoopla is about. I have never used a thermometer to monitor pit temps. Where should I make a hole for the probe? It sure will be interesting to see what temps I THINK I'm doing as apposed to the real deal the thermometer tells me I'm at.

Are you really looking for suggestions? :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

Yuck yuck yuck. Insert butt joke here. Where is the best place to monitor the fire temp? I see thermometers mounted all over the place on pits.

Thanks Brian, I have a hundred pounds of butts to do this weekend. It will be fun. (if it shows up on time) My plan is to just do them the same way I always do and just record the temps no mater what they are and not deviate from any thing I do any other time.

Oh yea, Should I go just above or below the grate.

I go about an inch or 2 above since that is about dead center where the grub is sitting. One of these clips makes a great probe holder for on the grate and such.

Do you put the probe on top through the handles you squeeze? How do you secure it?[/quote:2etsfv2o]

With paper clips and epoxy, works great.

Well I'm not too sure about the 75 foot range. Mine is good for about 15 feet! I'm disappointed. I think I just wasted 45 bucks. Also the probe wire is WAY too short. I'm not happy at all. :-( :-X

Anyone know if I can use the Maverick probes with the Nu-Temp?

Only if you ground them to the black clips first that Bryan suggested in a previous post. 8-[

 

[txpgapro]

Keep your Maverick and toss the Nu-temp!

 

[LarryWolfe]

I was serious [-o<

Well try plugging the NuTemp probes in the Maverick, put the probes in boiling water and if they're within a couple of degrees of 212 they work! :winkie:

Well now if your shippin to SC...your old buddy Jack needs another cooker in the fleet. I've recently had a forced depletion in inventory, and am too financially down trodden to replenish my supply.

I've ordered one of these instruments. I haven't got it yet. I'll let you know how I feel. Feeding 250 BBQ dinner on labor day. I'll give it a go in the Okie Joe.

Good Q!

Jack
