I think it's for grilling n00bs.

sounds cool, but its a little overkill. plus, it seems like it would take some of the fun out, for me anyway.

 

[FoBoT]

no

get the one alton brown uses

I grill until it's black, so I don't care what the temp is.

For some reason chicken scares the hell out of me.

I use the $5 electronic food service thermometer that you can get anywhere.

Works fine.

185 degrees and you're good.

I prefer to have voices coming from my head not my BBQ.

well, when you're grilling good/big meats you really need to know the temperature.

pretty cool. I need a new meat thermometer

true, but you can find that out with a cheap $5 thermometer. part of the fun for me is trial and error, going on instinct and beer, trying new things and techniques. wheres the fun in poking in a thermometer and letting that do all the work?

but im obsessed with grilling, so im biased.

I ain't cooking a 70-100 dollar piece of meat without knowing its exact temperature.



Think about it. Just 10 degrees and I have a medium prime rib instead of medium-rare. Oh the humanity!!!!

What they really need to make is a remote with another sensor that reads internal temperature of the grill.

A thermo isn't needed for steaks/small stuff. But ain't no way I'm overcooking a big beef/port loin or other sumptous cut.


And given that they can take hours to cook I like the remote aspect. I may just pick one up.

I have the one that Alton Brown uses. It's pretty cool.

 

[ChooChooChooseMe]

Cool, a talkingn thermometer

 

[Vegito]

got it for xmas from my hot gf...

it keeps losing signal and plus it kinda suck the probe wire is so long you dont want it falling into the grill and melting..

its cool but old fashion one is better

edit: the base is so light, it'll fall off when the wind blows..

My wife had to take a food safety course in order to cook at her Mom's restaurant.
She told me that bacteria only grows on the surface of meat, and that's why hamburger is the scariest.
I never knew that.

160 for pork is good, overcooked pork is just wrong...should be served medium-medium-well.

Sometimes folks get paranoid about cooking meat though. I don't mess around with chicken though - cook it to 170.
