Well, I've asked enough stupid questions on here...why not add one more
I have a Maverick ET-73 for use in my WSM and a Happy Cooker that I added a couple of grommets to feed the probes through. I am now the proud owner of a 22.5" Brownie & a SS Performer that I DO NOT want to drill through. With that being said, how do you all keep tabs on your cooking temp? The SS has a lid thermo, but I can't imagine it's too accurate being that it's not at cooking level.
Here's my stupid question. I know there are the cooking grate thermometers, but I'd hate to have to lift the lid to check my smoking temp all the time. Is that how you all use them? It goes down to the old adage, "if you're looking, you're not cooking"...well, what do you do if you have to look to check the cooking temperature?!
