With stainless steel overbraid, this probe is perfect for monitoring ambient air temperatures in high temp environments (e.g. fireboxes, grills and smokers). It is not designed for direct food measurements. Attach the probe to an oven rack or grill grate exactly where you need it. The probe cable is small enough in diameter to close in an indoor oven door, so it's ideal for general purpose use. Cable length: 78 in.

Sensor Range: -58 to 752°F (-50 to 400°C)
Cable: -58 to 662°F (-50 to 350°C)
Time Constant: Less than 2 seconds typical in liquid. Less than 10 seconds full reading.
Accuracy: ±0.9°F (±0.5°C) from 32 to 212°F (0 to 100°C)

what does it plug in to?

This will plug into any unit that accepts K-type probes. There are handhelds, cooking alarms, and data loggers that use this type of probe. If you'd like more guidance on what to purchase, please give us a call and we can help you out. 801-756-7705

Can this be used with the DOT Simple Alarm Thermometer? I already purchased the DOT thinking I could use it to measure the air temperature in my oven, but I now see that you recommend this instead. Can I swap out the probe that came with the DOT for this probe?

Hello,

This probe is not compatible with the DOT thermometers. DOT uses our Pro-Series Probes only. The Pro-Series Air Temperature Probe for the DOT can be found here. https://www.thermoworks.com/tx-1003x-ap/

If you are looking for other recommendations, please give us a call at 800.393.6434. We would be happy to assist you in finding the best devices for you.

Will. this work well in a Kamado Joe, where the temps are often between 500 and 600 when searing?

The probe's sensor can handle temperatures up to 752°F and the cable can handle temperatures up to 662°F. That being said, I want you to be aware of one common occasion. When you're searing and don't have a deflector shield in, there could be a small flare up from the meat juices and reach temperatures well above 1000°F. Put your probe in a safe position where it won't be damaged if this does happen.

how much of the probe is sensitive -- ie where do I have to put the clip to be sure that it's not sitting on metal that is much hotter than the air in the oven?

The temperature sensor is at the very tip of the probe. You can put the grate clip further down the probe.

TW-113-442-GC: What does it mean " It is not designed for direct food measurements"? If I insert into meat will it not measure temperature accurately ?

This probe was specifically designed to take air temperature. While it will read accurately in meat, the probe is smaller and has a blunted tip so you would have a hard time inserting it into the proper location to get correct temperatures. Especially if you are cooking a large cut of meat.

Will this probe works with the Mini Thermocouple Meter (MTC)?

Yes, it will. The Mini Thermocouple Meter (MTC) works with any Type K probe.

Is this probe grounded or un-grounded/isolated?

It is ungrounded.

Is this suitable to determine the grill surface temperature of a Propane BBQ?

No, this wouldn't be the right solution, as propane flames can easily exceed the top range of the probe and cable (662°F). An infrared thermometer is the best solution for determining the surface temperature of your grill. If your grill has slots in it, place a cast iron frying pan on top of the grill (with no oil in it) and use the infrared thermometer to determine the temperature of the pan. If the grill is flat, you can point the infrared thermometer directly at the grill top.

You can find our infrared thermometers here:

will the hi temp air probe work with the smoke unit?

No, it will not. Smoke works with any of the Pro-Series Probes, which may be found here:

What is the plug-in end for? It does not look like a plug for a regular electrical outlet.

The plug is used to attach the probe to a thermocouple meter, such as a ThermaQ Blue or ThermaQ WiFi.
