Temperature Probes

[GaHokie]

Has anyone found any reliable after-market probes? None available from Rec-Tec at this time.

Some people have used this one but guess what it's out of stock too.

@GaHokie the meat probe that @Mastertech59 mentioned are the only other replacements that I've heard that work with the Rec Tec controller. All the other meat probes out there use a male end, whereas the Rec Tec's have a female end.

One possible solution for you, and those that have them swear by them, would be to get a Fireboard.

Didn't probes come with your Rec Tec?

Spend your money on ThermoWorks products. I believe they are having a sale. I have there thermopen, smoke and signals products and there worth every penny.

I have been eye balling that there ThermoWorks Signal. Sure is a good sale. But I have spent enough lately ordering a RT-590 and some accessories to go along with it. The Mrs is already on my A--. I think I am going to trust the RT control panel and all its probes for now before I purchase an aftermarket temp checker. I do have a new Mk4. It is awesome.

That's a solid plan. Thermapen Mk4 will get used a lot more. RT probes will get you in the ballpark, then rely on the instant-read to both probe for tender and get a temp.

(And the Signals will go on sale again in the future if you still want it later.)

Thanks @mooncusser2k. Got lots to learn.

Happy to help. You'll find all sorts of uses for the instant-read aside from grilling - including roasting, heating on stovetop and even reheating in a microwave. No more cutting something open and hoping it's warm inside. Or hoping you cooked to a safe temperature.

The Rec Tec probes will get you in the ball park then use the MK4 for the final temperature your looking for. I too have been looking at the Thermoworks Signals but am now leaning towards the new Fireboard 2, I really don't need either one but I like gadgets.

Just a heads up these temperature probes are back in stock on Amazon.
