Boys add another gadget.
I bought a cheap remote thermometer meat probe.
Now I know what the temp is of any meat I put in there whether its beef, venison, pork,or poultry.
I insert the probe into the thickest part. Pick out my meat, then set the temp I want.
And never hardly open the smoker to check.
I have a Bradley electric smoker.
Just rub the probe braided metal cable out the door and shut it.
Cost was less than 30 bucks.
