Does this measure oven/smoker temp in addition to food temp? I'm seeing diff answers.

I've never tested it so can't say definitively. However, it does show the temp of the room so it would seem that it would give ambient temps of smoker also. Still this is only a guess...

It has only one probe. If you want to measure both you will need two thermometers

No it's a single probe and measures one thing at a time. It will measure smoker or oven temp if it's not in the meat and you make sure the probe tip isn't touching anything.

No. Measures food temperature only, however, I am personally satisfied with its purchase; and I have used it thirty times or more, a conservative guess, in the short time I've owned it.

Not very accurate, like most smokers. I have two smokers and I have found both of them can be off by 10-20 degrees versus a digital thermometer that has a clip that holds it an inch or two away from the meat on the rack. Hence, I don't use the one in the smoker. BTW, Thermoworks makes the best thermometers. They are also the most expensive.

The temperature probe is for reference only the auto shut off is the timer. you set the temperature you want your smoker at then set the timer for how long you want to smoke your food.

I have used it to monitor smoker temps for c old smoking cheese, les than 90 degrees and up to 350 degrees in my bbq, no issues

Yes, it tells you both the grill temp and the meat temp. Great product. I recommend it to all my friends that grill. Even more valuable in the winter months.

Their is a hole in the cover of the grill. At that point it measures the inside temperature. I would think if you had a hole or made one it would do the job. It was easy installing it.

This will work fine, because it uses infrared to measure temperature. I tried it on a few grills and it gives you accurate temperatures.

I'm not sure if I understand the question. Are you asking if you can preset meat temperatures? Or are you asking does it track the temperatures as they increase? If the latter, then there is a graph showing the temperatures increasing. If the first question, I would have to check.

Yes, it can measure the temp continuously, however it cannot be left in the oven or a grill/smoker. To use in a oven, etc. you would need a temp probe ona heat resistant cable and the control unit away from the heat.

Immediately. It will be displaying the ambient temperature and will start to escalate up to the temperature of whatever you are cooking as soon as you insert it into the product you are measuring. It takes a very short time to reach the actual temperature of the product.

It will only measure surface temp. I use it to measure the temperature of milk for cheese making and I have to stir it really well before I measure to get an accurate reading.

Yes it can. The probe stays in the protein being cooked, grilled, or smoked and the thermometer has a magnet so it can be on the outside of the oven, grill, or smoker. It also sends the temperature to your smartphone.

I would guess not because new ovens like mine has digital electronic processing. This sensor output is calibrated to send a temperature signal that the electronics understand. Your old oven probably does not have the same electronic processing and therefore would not read the temperature properly. Again this is my opinion, I could be wrong.

If you're using the temperature gauge sent with the product, it probably isn't working correctly. They have a history of being faulty. I use a meat thermometer. To check if it's just the temperature gauge, pop it out of the unit and stick it in your oven. Set your oven to 200 degrees and wait about ten minutes. If the gauge reads 200 degrees, it's working and there may be something wrong with your heating element. HOWEVER, if it doesn't read correctly, you can reset it yourself (the little spring sometimes gets jarred during the shipping process). To reset it, you need to be VERY careful. While it is still hot, you need to move the dial to 200 degrees. Then put it back in your smoker. If you're using the temperature gauge sent with the product, it probably isn't working correctly.

Not sure, we bought this thermometer to use in our old refrigerator we use for smoking fish. We drilled a hole in the door and it worked great so we could see how warm it got inside the smoker.

sorry Jared....I can not honestly tell you if this thermometer measures the temperature of water correctly. I've only used it to bake turkey 1 time and bake chicken 2 times, and all 3 times, the poultry was cooked perfectly.

these devices detect ambient air and non reflective surface temperatures only. it should tell you the temperature of the interior oven surfaces. hope this helps.
