Meat Thermometers For Grilling & Smoking

Meat thermometers have come a long way in helping grill masters take meat off the grill at just the right time. Traditional grill masters had to rely on experience, smoking cooking times, grilling cooking times, or techniques like the steak doneness test in order to tell when they could take their meat off the grill. Over the years new technology has allowed us to check when the perfect time is to pull the meat off and let it rest. There are even wireless sensors that allow you to sit inside and monitor the internal temperature of the meat you are smoking. These wireless sensors can show you the different meat temperatures and even set off an alarm when your meat is done.

Many grill masters think that using a meat thermometer is an unprofessional or lazy way to to smoke. Grill Smoke BBQ believes that this perception is changing as technology instills its way in every aspect of our lives. If someone calls you an amateur for using a meat thermometer, just challenge them to see who can smoke a beef brisket that is more juicy and tender. After all, it doesn't matter if you have the right smoker, recipe, ingredients, and cooking techniques if you under cook or over cook your meat.

Wireless Digital Meat Thermometer
The wireless thermometers are far and away the best on the market today. They come with a range of features and settings that are changing every year. The best two features are the alarm you can set to tell you when your meat is ready and the wireless feature that allows you to monitor the internal temperature throughout the smoking and cooking process. Grill Smoke BBQ highly recommends the wireless thermometers for any grill master.

Digital Meat Thermometer
Digital meat thermometers are an excellent gift for any grill or smoke master. We love the quick response time on the digital thermometers after sticking it in the meat. This limits the amount of time you have to leave your lid open and let the smoke escape. Grill Smoke BBQ recommends spending a little more on your digital thermometer and getting one with meat temperatures for so you don't have to always look up our meat temperature chart.

Traditional Meat Thermometer
The traditional meat thermometer is something you may be familiar with from your mom using on Thanksgiving day. Some of the newer models have a nice chart feature that lists out the different meat temperatures for doneness. The traditional thermometer may be reliable in terms of telling the temperature, but they take time to build up to the right temperature versus the digital thermometers.
