USING THE PROGRAMMABLE MEAT PROBES
•
A meat probe measures the internal temperature of the meat on the smoker, similar to your indoor oven. Plug the Meat
Probe adapter into the meat probe connection port and ensure it is inserted all the way into the plug. You will feel and hear
it snap in place. Insert the stainless-steel meat probe into the thickest portion of the meat. The internal temperature of the
meat is shown on the display screen.
IMPORTANT: When placing the meat probe into your meat, ensure the meat probe and wires avoid direct contact
with flame or excessive heat. This can result in damage to your meat probe. Run the excess wire out the front door
of the smoker, close the door, and ensure there is enough slack on the outside. When not in use, disconnect from
the meat probe connection port, and keep it in a safe and clean location.
