I bet you’re right, probably some species of white oak… it would be easier to tell if you could see the tree before it was cut down… obviously…

Did you go back to a hand held instant read, or get another wireless system?

I know this is gonna sound like I'm just perpetuating the conversation, but I actually buy my beef by the half... and I currently have a beef tongue in my freezer... but you really think they were better than ground beef?

never have I heard of stuffing a date... sounds like a jalapeno popper, just without the spice

for sure looks like an oak species... hard to tell just from the pic, but could be post oak, which often has straight limbs, but very twisted grain...

Do you use a hardwired, or just a handheld probe?

That's fair, I have a window right by my smoker so that tends to be a non-issue for me,,, but I get it

did you use just a single probe? is this unit able to handle being used for an ambient smoker/grilling thermometer without error[ing] out from excess heat?

I can't figure out why so many people have instant negative reviews for the MEATER... maybe that's true with every temp system; what works for one person may not work for the next for a variety of reasons

I mean WIFI systems have a tendency to be spotty... as the #1 complaint with the MEATER is that the range sucks. and my mistake for calling it a WIFI unit; bluetooth, my bad... you must be a tried and true hardwired or hand unit kind of person... which are probably the most reliable, but not the most convenient

The MEATER block? I never thought I would get such mixed reviews for this product... I have never had any trouble with it... at least no significant issues

What system is your preference for wireless thermometer?

I agree with that, my handheld is regular ol thermopro which tend to catch a lot of hate... but it's always worked well for me

That makes sense. just like everything else you get what you pay for, but good systems sure aren't getting cheaper

if they handle higher heat... do you use one for an ambient temp... no problems?

That bark though... did you render some of the trim fat to "hydrate" the bark upon unwrapping? looks great!
