I wouldn't recommend it without buying a long metal thermocouple extender. The flexible ones that come with it have a coating around them that melts at between 120-150 C (so maybe 250-300 F). Found this out the hard way when something smelled like it started burning.

While I do use this probe to monitor water temp, I don't fully immerse it, as the wire behind the metal portion of the probe is covered in plastic & I don't want it to melt. If I use it to monitor other food temperatures, just wipe off the metal part of the probe & don't let the plastic touch anything hot, like pots, pans, etc. Shorter answer: I don't know & haven't tried to find out.

You should be able to use it for grilling, it may just take a little longer, but as it states, it a grill, not a warming pan..

i have never used it on the grill. i think an instant read thermometer might be better. i would be hesitant to use this great oven thermometer that way. hopes this helps

You may not be an idiot for wondering that, however ... I do wonder about your reasoning abilities. :-) Just get this grill, you'll be happy you did. Only one downside. The bi-metal thermometer sucks, like on all grills that include such a thermometer. Get a good digital thermometer.

Matt, yes this can be, but read the directions on the thermometer. For outside grills (I realize this isn't a grill and gets nowhere near the temperature of one), wrap the coil to the probe in aluminum foil. I have several friends that smoke their meat using this thermometer. Hope this helps

no. never rely on the built-in thermometer. spend some money on a good bbq thermometer. you won't regret it.

Yes it could be used. However you may need to drill holes for the temperature probes.

It can be used for anything that the probe can be inserted in. Liquids or soft solids. Of course, the automatic temperature to check specific finish for meats and fish can't be used, but temperature can be read.

I would think this would work great with a Weber. The only suggestion is that the "sender" part of this would need to rest on something, like a shelf. I am referring to the unit that you will plug into the meat being monitored. I love this combo. Knowing the internal meat temp is critical for success, and the temperature chart is a bonus!

It will measure any surface, indoors or out, although you will need a solid surface. It can't measure the temperature of a barbeque grate.

I believe you can, and you might not need to even buy another meat probe. You might get away with using that bbq temp sensor. I'll have to try that sometime. IF they're the same type of meat, and you're using a heat diffuser, all the pieces of meat should finish at the same time. IF they're different types of meat, you could use they meat probe on the faster cooking meat. Once it hits its temp, remove the meat and put the meat probe into the slower cooking meat. Just some suggestions.

No. You want the Kingssford Grill Surface Thermometer: http://www.amazon.com/Kingsford-KTH10-Grill-Surface-Thermometer/dp/B002CIRD1C/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&qid=1386130171&sr=8-15&keywords=weber+grill+thermometer

this thermometer is not useful for me roasting. It only measures the surface temperature. To check arose you need a "meat thermometer". You can get an inexpensive one in any supermarket that does the job very well.

I've been looking for answer but unfortunately unsuccessfully. I found very good customer advice about that grill.Temperature should be quite high but any way, for that price you will enjoy it and try to make naan and paneer tika.You also can look for Weber receipt book with suggestion of use their barbecue grill. Amazon search: weber receipt book

I think that this would work very well. I have used this to measure temps on computer processors and heat buildup on electrical components. should do what you want.

if you follow the BBT steps you can. This will store your temp. If thats what you are looking to do.
