Probe Selection for Roasting, Slow Cooking 
& Grilling
Smokehouse Penetration Probe, Model #113-177 
Sensor Range: -58 to 482°F (-50 to 250°F). Cable Range: -103 to 482°F (-75 to 250°C)
With a stainless steel overbraid, this 
probe is perfect for grilling or smok
-
ing meats. The probe cable is small 
enough in diameter to close in an 
indoor oven, so it’s ideal for general 
purpose use. When cooking over direct 
heat, with temperatures in excess of 
482°F, consider using the Armored Smokehouse probe (113-178), which reads 
temperatures up to 660°F.
Insert the probe into the center of 
the thickest part of the meat being 
cooked. Temperature is measured 
from the very tip of the probe, 
so depending on the size of the 
meat, you may not have to insert 
the probe too deep. Gently close 
the cable in the lid or door of your 
oven, grill or smoker.
While there are hundreds of type K thermocouple probes to choose from, 
here are a few that are perfect for roasting, slow smoking and grilling. 
We’ve also included a few tips and best practices to help you extend the 
useful life of your thermocouple probes.
