Warning: my brisket flat turned into shoe leather after I trusted a new temp probe at a comp in Kansas City
I picked up one of those fancy instant-read thermometers from a vendor at the American Royal last fall and it was reading 10 degrees low the whole time, so my 225-degree cook turned into a 235-degree disaster and now I only use thermoworks gear because that $35 mistake cost me a top 10 finish, has anyone else had a probe fail at the worst possible moment?

One bad cook doesn’t ruin a whole competition run.

Curious if you checked that probe against a known temp before throwing it in the smoker? I always test new gear side by side with either my old Thermapen or a cup of ice water. You think calibrating right before the cook wouldve caught that 10 degree difference?
