Barbeque Temp Probes.

Post by brewmasterorr »

I want to run some probes to my grill. Will something like this work?

I have only ever purchased the ones from Brewers hardware but they will not work for sticking in meat.

The BCS uses "thermistor" type temperature probes. The one you linked is a "thermocouple" type. They are incompatible.

They look like they should. I may get one and try it out myself with my smoker.

Well I will give it a go and see if they work. I have a Kamado and my idea was to run a cat5 and run three probes for two meats and the grill. I have a fan that can control the oxygen.... So I figured why not control my smoke day like my brew day :)

Great minds think alike! I have a Bradley smoker that I use my BCS with. The original controller in the smoker fried so I added a couple of SSR's inside the box and put an RJ45 jack on the back and just run a CAT5 cable outside to it when I smoke. I have so much more control over it than when it was original.

You would need to program the coefficients with different thermistors / temp probes like these correct??
