What (and where to get) is the best non digital thermometer out there? Looking for two one to install on my smoker and one for checking meat temp. I already own the digital (two probe)ones.

The name that pops up here most often is Tel-Tru. Based on that I ordered one last week and have not received it yet to base an opinion on it.

If you have a BASS PRO SHOP near you, they have a large selection of outdoor cooking equipment and gadgets.

Hey Teleking you were right about the digital thermos. Mine s**t the bed after about four smokes. One probe was reading 20 degrees higher that the other. And I was real careful with them too. Thanks all I will check into the ones you've told me about. Teleking sorry if I came across about giving you crap about the digital ones. You were right I was wrong.

I use a maverick and love it. It tells the smoker temp as well as the food temp.
