Title: Third Probe
Post by: Bmag44 on August 20, 2020, 06:24:50 PM
Newbie here,

My 4-D arrived yesterday. Did some reading about the controller and other stuff to get me going and seasoned it.  Will probably do my first smoke tomorrow.  I have some Canadian Bacon on the back-leg of a dry cure cure. 

I understand that probe #1 is the permanent probe built into the smoker for smoker temp, #2 probe is for the internal meat temp.  What do you guys use #3 probe for?   

Thanks in advance, looking to many years of smokin fun.  This thing is built to last.

The 3rd probe is largely useless for anything other than as sanity check if you use it or just keep it safely stowed away to use as a backup when the other one eventually fails.

Welcome to the family!
