I'm new to smoking and I just bought a used #2. I'm looking to buy a remote thermometer. I want a basic 2 probe unit that can monitor the smoker air temp and a meat temp. The website for some products say a 2 probe unit can be used to monitor 2 meats or 2 'BBQs'. What do they mean when they say the probes can be used to monitor 'BBQ'? What Is 'BBQ'? Is it the same as the air temp in a smoker? Their descriptions are so inconsistent... some say 'smoker', some say 'BBQ'... I can't figure it out. What is 'BBQ'?

Just het a basic meat thermometer like you would use in an oven. The probe goes in the meat and connects to the monitor on the outside of the smoker. Some units take multiple probes for monitoring the meat temp of several cuts. You can also get a unit that will measure the smoker or grill temp as well as meat temp. Pretty much up to your preference.
