The food probes are maverick et-732 (near enough - they're Ivation branded, but apparently the same thing).
I use a thermocouple for the pit.
As I have three probe jacks, I may use one of them for the pit, and disable the thermocouple.
I'm pretty sure it's not the rub drying out the meat - I've used the same proportions when I've done ribs in the oven overnight (although I couldn't say what temp that was at).
The salt actually puts moisture back into the meat, that is why I was questioning the salt content - you may not have used enough. I salted mine liberally and then applied the rub.
