How do you all clean your Traeger meat thermometers? dishwasher?

 

[Timmy]

I wipe it down the probes with Traeger cleaner, or equivalent. On the solid stainless part I occasionally use 0000 steel wool.

Edit: Never in the dishwasher.

I use Traeger cleaner on my FireBoard probes. Takes the smoke and gunk right off..
I sure wouldn’t put that Traeger probe in the dishwasher…prolly make it worse than it already is.

Ok Ok. I get it. HA! Which FireBoard is everyone recommending? I see photos of all sorts of things going on at once on the Traeger. Ex. whole chicken next to ribs. I am assuming if one is cooking multiple meats they have multiple probes?

The regular FireBoard 2, and get at least 1 if not 2 short competition probes.

It’s the $189.00 one.

It has 6 channels, I use it on 2 grills at one time sometimes.

You can save quite a bit of money by just going ahead and buying the competition probe kit when you order your FireBoard 2.
Those probes list for 17 each, and there is six in the kit for 80.00.
Order your FireBoard direct, if you plan on extra probes, only pay shipping once.
Unless you have prime.

So a channel is a probe? I like the sound of that.

I like the magnet base for $25.

Yes and you can rename the channels to what you want and rename on the next cook.

It works really good, but keep it out of the sun. My FireBoard fell out of it ,to the grass today when the sun hit it.

I stuck mine on the Traeger last week upside down , and it fell on the concrete. Thank goodness for that rubberized case..
Would an Inkbird or ThermoPro survive that?

I use Velcro and stick it under the shelf…
