Wire Meat Thermometers for Ovens, Barbecues and Smokers

A wired probe is the practical choice for continuous readings. Match the probe and cable heat limits to your appliance, then choose the number of channels you need.

A wire meat thermometer separates the hot probe from the display, allowing the probe to remain in food while an oven, barbecue or smoker is closed. A meat thermometer with wire is useful for roasts and long cooks because an alarm can signal when the target temperature is reached.

Common questions

Questions before you buy

Can the wire of a meat thermometer go in the oven?

Yes, when the manufacturer identifies the probe and cable as oven-safe. The display unit normally remains outside unless its instructions say otherwise.

Why does a wired thermometer give an erratic reading?

A kinked, wet or overheated cable can damage the sensor circuit. Reseat the connector, inspect the cable and follow the maker's troubleshooting instructions.

Can the probe cable touch an oven rack?

Follow the product manual. Route the cable gently and keep it away from exposed heating elements, flames and sharp bends.

How many probes are useful for smoking meat?

Two channels cover one piece of meat plus the cooking chamber. Extra channels help when cooking several cuts with different target temperatures.
