A wireless thermometer will work since the only thing inside the smoker is the probe. It is attached to a cable that runs to the outside of the smoker and attaches to the thermometer unit that I sit on top of the smoker. In bad weather, I place the thermometer in a zip-lock bag to protect it from the weather.
Thanks for the tip to the cooking in the dark group. ----- Original Message ----- From: Lenny McHugh To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, December 08, 2008 02:54 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Talking Thermometer for smoking meat I really wonder if a wireless thermometer would work inside of the old refrigerator, the metal may work as a shield. You may have more luck in getting an answer on the cooking in the dark list. I do not have the subscription information but I think a search for "cooking in the dark" will probably get you there. ----- Original Message ----- From: "NLG" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, December 08, 2008 8:53 AM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Talking Thermometer for smoking meat Hi, I just finished building a thermostatic controlled cooker/smoker out of an old refrigerator. I have a large smokehouse down back but needed something that I could more closely regulate the smokehouse temperature Yesterday, I smoked 12 pounds of Canadian bacon and had to have a sighted person set my thermometer. I am looking for a wireless cooking thermometer to use to monitor the internal temperature of the meat I am smoking/cooking.. I need a thermometer with a probe that I can insert into the meat and set a temperature on the unit (for example 150 degrees F) and have an alarm sound when the internal temp of the meat reaches the set temperature (in this example, 150 degrees F). What are you guys/gals using for thermometers when making your smoked sausages, bacons, hams, beef sticks, etc?
