I'll use it more on chicken and turkey, sometimes with thicker pork chops. Beef.......needs to red for me and no need for a meat probe. :happy1:

Same here. If I'm smoking for hours I use a temp probe but not for just grilling.

In the smoker i have it in all the time. On the grill I just check it before I pull it on bigger pieces of meat.

good luck with the briskets boar, I'll put the probe in em but won't plug it in until the 6 hour mark or so, before that I'm just wasting battery.

  I like my Pit Boss where the probe is plugged into the controller and that runs off 110v. No batteries. Set it and forget it (sorta). Besides I buy enough batteries to keep 9 trail cameras going to begin with. Good luck boar. :happy1: :happy1:

I use the Weber Igrill  and it works great for me. Just insert in the meat and go to the app to set what your desired temp is and walk away until the alarm goes off. Really simple to use!

These are my thoughts on smoking briskets. I’m by no means an expert on the subject, this is just what I’ve learned from experience and learned from various sources.
I have never smoked a brisket flat or point separately. I think you could smoke the point with success because of the amount of fat, but the flat is much leaner, and really benefits from all the fat in the point.
People tend to buy the flats because they are intimidated by the size of a whole brisket, but the eatable yield of a whole brisket after trimming and cooking is around 50% depending on the grade.
NEVER SMOKE A WHOLE BRISKET BY TEMPERATURE. You can insert a probe just to monitor the temperature and tell if you’re getting close (195*), but never pull the brisket until the meat probes tender at the thickest part of the flat. The reason you can’t rely on temperature is every brisket different, if it probes tender, it’s done.
Then wrap in foil, wrap in bath towels, and into a cooler for 2 to 4 hours.
Again these are just my opinions, and they work for me.
