Chicken, New Accessories from thirdeye

Grandpas Grub

I had contacted thirdeye about pricing on some items I noticed in one of the pictures in a post he made. The other day I was surprised to see a package from thirdeye. In the package was some accessories with a note to try these out and let him know what I thought. There was no charge and I was excited to get using the “Sticker” – “U” handle probe for checking meat tenderness and to try out the ‘plugs’ both “L” and “T” handle.

This is what was in the package.


You know me, I love to play with things. Chicken is juicy and a great testing medium. Here is the cook.

400° indirect


When testing the done temperature of chicken there is always the juices running out of the probe holes, the solution is the thirdeye plugs.


Done and a short rest with the plugs


The plugs stopped the juice leakage when pulling the thermapen out after testing. At first looked I liked the "T" configuration, but using either the "T" or "L" was just fine. It probably would be nice to have 6 plugs available.

When I did a second temperature test, I removed the plug and using the same hole I directed the thermapen in a different direction and depth. Then put the plug back in the same place.

All very useful accessories and worth having.

BTW, the chicken was great. The only picture I took of the sliced meat was way washed out and there was no detail available.
