I have a large container for cooking the meats on its way (more on this story as it developes) but I'm going to need a probe or two for the monitoring of said temp to meats. I'd really like to not spend to much, any cheap things I should look at for keeping internal air temps as well as meat temps I should look at ?
I bought a thing, now I need advice on another thing

I can't help right now because my grilling/smoking stuff is still in a box somewhere from my move. I'll be eagerly waiting to see what you're having shipped through.

Hopefully tomorrow or the next day I should have it. If not y'all will just have to painfully wait for it along with meI can't help right now because my grilling/smoking stuff is still in a box somewhere from my move. I'll be eagerly waiting to see what you're having shipped through.
Just watched an old alton brown good eats smoker using an ammo box, hot plate, and rack. I dont recall his temp monitoring though.

+1 for Thermoworks. Go over to their site and look around.
I know you said you didn't want to spend too much, but value does matter.

Can that hold two probes ?
No. It's one probe per unit. Their Smoke hooks up to two probes, and their Signals hooks up to four.
I've been really happy with my Thermoworks DOT. The probe stays in the meat while cooking so only one puncture, and you watch the current temperature climb towards whatever final temp you select.

Inkbird. I have several different models and they have held up well.
love my dot, but also love the thermapen and smoke too! Wish i had the BT dot.
An instant read thermometer is different from a dual probe thermometer. I use an instant read for grilling chicken, steak or fish. The dual, triple or even quadruple probes are good for smoking or oven use for large cuts of meat like turkey. Mine sends me temperature readings while I'm sitting on the couch watching The Good The Bad and the Ugly.

Getting some heat. Let's see if we can get it stable at 225ish then let it crank up a bit

Clear smoke. Seems to be holding it's temp rock steady. A few more minutes and we will let it get up a bit more to burn it all in and see what it will do. Who would have thought cooking with nothing could smell so good.
Maverick makes some decent tempareture tools for grilling. I've only ever given them as gifts but they love them. I have multiple Thermoworks things that I own for work. A thermopen and a dot. Would love some multi-probe units but can't justify it in my budget or the work budget.
