A co-worker recommended using a meat thermometer to monitor the internal temperature ...
I purchased the ThermoPro TP08 Wireless Remote Digital Kitchen Cooking Thermometer - Dual Probe for BBQ Smoker Grill Oven so I could monitor the cooking of a beef brisket that I was cooking on 3/09/16. I was cooking the brisket so that we could celebrate my father in-laws birthday. I have never been able to cook a brisket without it being tough and dried out. A co-worker recommended using a meat thermometer to monitor the internal temperature of the meat. He recommended a different brand that only monitored the meat temperature and had to be monitored at the bbq pit. I searched Amazon for digital thermometers and came across your product. I liked the fact that I could monitor both the internal temperature of the meat and the internal temperature of the bbq pit. Being able to monitor the internal temperature of the bbq pit was a big selling point for me especially since my bbq pit doesn’t have any thermometers attached to it. I ordered your first part of last week and received it on Friday, 3/08/16. I unpackaged the thermometer and became familiar with its operation. On Saturday morning, I lit the bbq pit at 4:30 am and started smoking my brisket at 5:30 am. I inserted the meat probe in the brisket and place the other probe in the bbq pit. I set a temperature alarm to alert me when the meat reached an internal temperature of 165 F. Let me tell, you I was very impressed on how easy it was to use the Thermopro TP08. I monitored the entire cooking process from inside the house approximately 50 feet away from the pit. I was able to prepare the other dishes that would be served with the brisket. When smoking a brisket the key is low constant temperature of 200 - 250 F for 7 to 8 hrs. Thanks to the wireless monitoring capabilities, I was able to tell when the bbq pit temperature got too hot, 300 F, when the wood flared up. That was a big plus because I was able to respond to the wood flare up and get the temperature back under control. Eight hours later, I successfully made the best brisket I have ever cooked. I got compliments from everyone on how tender the brisket turned out. Needless to say, the ThermoPro TP08 met and exceeded all of my expectations. I have enclosed pictures taken at 9:00 am of the TP08 as I used to monitor the cooking process. I give this product 10 out of 10 for ease of use, portability, convenience. All I can say, is thank you, thank you, thank you.
Sincerely
Joe
