ThermoWorks Semi-Pro BBQ Kit Review

Meathead (AmazingRibs.com) recommends this kit for general BBQ. While there is no alarm on the MTC, this kit still gives you the tools to track meat, smoker or grill temps and spot check with the Meat Needle Probe. Plug the probes in and out to check each temperature.

Includes the Mini Handheld Thermocouple Meter (MTC), a Fast Response Meat probe (113-151), an Armored Smokehouse Penetration probe (113-178), and a High-Temp Flexible Ceramic Fiber Insulated probe (WD-08467-64).

Use the Armored Smokehouse Penetration probe to monitor the meat to your preferred doneness temperature, and the High-Temp Flexible Ceramic Fiber-Insulated probe to keep tabs on the temperature of the oven or smoker. Spot check your meat with the Type K Fast-Response Meat Needle Probe with Super-Fast readings in less than 3 seconds. Buy the kit and save $25.

  • MTC Mini Handheld Thermocouple
  • 113-151 Fast Response Meat Needle Probe Range: to 482°F
  • 113-178 Armored Smokehouse Penetration Probe Range: Tip and cable to 660°F (probe cable diameter is 0.2 inches – home oven doors and smoker lids may not fully close)
  • WD-08467-64 High-Temp Flexible Ceramic Fiber Probe Range: Tip and cable to 2200°F

grouchy?

1) Please try the search box at the top of every page before you ask for help.

2) Try to post your question to the appropriate page.

3) Tell us everything we need to know to help such as the type of cooker and thermometer. Dial thermometers are often off by as much as 50°F so if you are not using a good digital thermometer we probably can’t help you with time and temp questions. Please read this article about thermometers.

4) If you are a member of the Pitmaster Club, your comments login is probably different.
