I am new to the big green egg although I have been using an electric smoker for sometime. I actually pick it up today. My question is this: I have a thermometer that I used with my electric and it has a very small wire. I wanted to know if this wire will effect the gasket on the BGE. The wire is about as small as I have seen and never posed a problem to the masterbuilt.

Thank you in advance

The consensus seems to be probe wires do not pose a risk to the gasket: http://eggheadforum.com/discussion/1154916/temp-probe-wires-anyone-ever-have-any-gasket-problems-because-of-them#latest

Here's what I do...and have seen many pic's on the forum with the same set up. I wrap my wire in alum foil, when using the plate setter I line up the wire over one of the leg's so as not to get direct heat on the probe wire. Good luck and welcome.

Welcome to the group. I do not think you will have a gasket problem using it.
