Finally got one! Have not used it yet. Question: How do you run your probe wires, between top and bottom across the gasket, or fish it out the top daisy wheel?

Play with it. Just had an overnight fail by not setting the low pit temp alarm correctly.Green egg, dead animal and alcohol. The "Boro".. TN

I always run it across the gasket, and when using platesetter I run it in so that it is shielded from direct heat by one of the legs of the platesetter.

I wrap the leads in al foil. Keeps it clean as well. I take it out over the gasket and set the base on the composite mate.
Make sure you double check your hi and lo settings, pair it and good to go. Hope you got the 732.
Very useful tool.

Also be sure to turn on the alarm after limits are set. You can sleep all night with a dead fire and not know it til morning. Please don't ask how I know about this.A poor widows son.

If you wrap a butt do you still keep the probe in?Green egg, dead animal and alcohol. The "Boro".. TN

By wrap, assume you mean in foil to Texas Crutch it. You want to stop when temp is 190-200 so yes, leave the probe in, wrap around it. I've only seen this at BBQ shows and cook offs, I've never used it. A BBQ guru told a group of us gathered at his smoker to be careful when you stop the crutch, the meat will cool quickly as the moisture evaporates when you open the foil, so I suggest you unwrap to get rid of the juice and rewrap (FTC) or pull and serve quickly.If you meant to FTC it, no, it is done so no probe needed.Some of the experts here will have some better info.Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!

I didn't mean play with it. Just try different temps with the alarm before you do a night cook so you're sure it's set right.Green egg, dead animal and alcohol. The "Boro".. TN

Hey
Wrap the probes in as much foil as you can through where it connects the probe to the wire. Mine just got caught in the rain and even with foil one probe is shot.
Foil helps protect against heat and water is my point lol. I'm drinking tonight gang apologies for being belligerent.
