Which part of the probe reads the temperature, i.e. how deep does it have to be inside a piece of meat in order to read temperature correctly? I don't usually cook large pieces, 3-4 pounds at most; if the probe, as it says somewhere above, is 6" long,...

Yes, if the probe is in a "shallow" piece of meat and most of the probe is in the oven, it still reads correctly. I recently cooked a 2.5 prime rib and put the probe into the center and it worked accurately. It does not have to be "deep".

The cable is designed to be exposed to the heat. I've used mine in both the expected environment and on the Barbie.The unit has worked flawlessly. Just how is the unit "failing"? If the meat you're cooking is bone-in you need to be carefulnot to allow the probe to touch the bone. (Bone conducts heat more efficiently than meat and will yield a false reading leading toinsufficiently cooked meat.

your grill probe is shorter and more blunt on the tip, and also has a bracket to hold it on the grill. The food probe is longer with a point on the end to stick it into the meat. there both a thermal couple reading temperature. just do not submerse in water as you will ruin the probe.

I believe it goes from 140 or 145 to 180 for the meat probe. The probe will not work with anything other than large cuts of meat. If you used the probe in stew you would also get the temperature of everything else in the pot and not get an accurate reading. That being said the temperature probe works great as I have used it for a whole chicken and a pot roast and both came out moist and tender without being over cooked.

Craig, I uploaded a picture of the 2" River Country Professional Series Adjustable Grill & Smoker Thermostat Thermometer Gauge installed on my 18.5" WSM and 22.5" Weber Grill. I mounted the the gauge at just below the top grate on the WSM. The temperature at grate level was more important to me. Regardless of the location you choose, i doubt the probe would interfere with your food in the smoker. As others mentioned, the probe is 1-1/2" in length. Hope this picture is of help.

The probe itself is 2 3/4" long and is designed to insert into your food of choice for internal temperature readings. It is very accurate but not instant, maybe 2-3 seconds for proper readings. If you have a prime rib, ham or any other item with a radius of 3" plus - the probe will not reach the center due to its length. With that being said I'm very pleased with the product and only cook by temperature now.

The food probe temperature range is 32 degrees F to 572 degrees F.The BBQ probe temperature range is 140 degrees F to 572 degrees FI haven't used this product for deep frying but the temperature range is certainly within the capability of the Maverick. Hope this helps.

Probably, this would not be the best choice for reading meat temperatures. It was designed as a candy and deep frying, and for that it has few peers. For its purpose, this is my own favourite, but I have several thermometers in my kitchen. I use them all, as each is designed to measure temperatures of specific kinds of food in specific situations.

The steel part of the probe is around six inches. Yes it works great with cooking a Turkey. I have used it for two Turkey's, one pork roast and Prime rib. It worked very well.

probe is 4.5" and overall it is 7". No problem checking temp on a turkey with this.

Yes that is how it works. However yesterday I did a pork tenderloin with it in and after the recommended 20-25 minutes this said it was at 113 when I was sure it was much hotter so I put in an instant read and it went to 140+ right away then I took this out and moved the probe and it shot up to 145 so I'm not sure how reliable it is. Perhaps I had done it wrong but I don't know how. I'm still mixed about this I love the idea of it.

They have a 1-yr warranty. They said they will replace a bad probe. As I put in my review, just go ahead and order a new probe. They're expendable and you don't want to be caught without one. You have to know the internal temp of your meat.

Most thermometers and thermocouples have an immersion depth that should be used. Rule of thumb is 7-10 times the sheath diameter (probe diameter). This is due to losing heat to surrounding through conduction.

Yes, it stays in the oven. If fact the probe provides two temperature readings. It tells you the temp of the meat you are cooking (because you stick the probe into the meat) AND it also gives you the temperature of the oven. The tip of the probe reads the meat . . . and the top portion reads the oven temp. I bought it because we were certain our oven wasn't giving us an accurate reading. We found out that our oven was cooking at 470 degrees when the dial was set at 400 degrees. Hope this helps.

I am not sure about the question so I will be as descriptive as possible. The probe is stainless and so is the cord,I am sure that it does not melt. You simply place the probe in the meat go watch a show on the TV and you have the reader next to you set on what you like as far as the temp of your meat or chicken or what ever. The temps that they recommend are too hot for me,since after you take it out of the oven the temp still rises so I make it 5-10 degrees lower.It has an alarm to remind you when it's done. To me it's a no brainer.

Hello Mike, the thermometer should not be off when inserted into the meat. If it is off, just turn it on again and let it read the temperature for 10-15 seconds and press the hold button. That will give you the most precise reading. If you are sill having issue, please contact us at BlizeTec dot com. We are always here to help! Many blessings, BlizeTec
