I'm not fully convinced by my Meater. Because it's so fat compared to a normal probe it only really works with big lumps of meat. I've struggled with putting it in stuff like chicken.
I also often don't have a sacrificial potato so can't use it to get the initial temperature before I start cooking.
They're a neat idea but not quite as good as I hoped.

I guess they have their place - in particular if you have a rotisserie.
Anyhoo - first beef rib cook on the new kamado.
36 hour dry brine (because timing error), then ~8 hours at 125 to get them to 95.
I'm pretty pleased with how they turned out. Again, the fat could have gone on the bottom, and the 6 year old suggested less pepper in the rub, but otherwise pretty good.
I also need bigger lumps of wood for smoking - it had all but disappeared by the time things were up to tempeatutet to start cooking, hence the rather thin smoke ring.
(There's a finger poking juice money shot too, if you're that interested.)
