Does this smoker have an external thermometer that shows what the temperature is inside the smoker? (not the meat temperature)

Meat thermometer. I use the igrill when I cook. It's awesome and I can use it in all my cooking.

No, there is not. I use an aftermarket thermometer that I stick in the meet. This smoker is a "set it and forget it" type and it only cooks at one temp (I think it is around 275 deg. F). It works very well for novice smokers just getting into BBQ, and is also a nice addition for experienced smokers who just want to throw something in and do it quickly with very little mess.

Yes, I just got mine a few weeks ago. This is my first smoker. The digital controls and the ability to add chips without opening the door make this a great choice. And don't forget that it is an insulated unit which makes it perform better.

Yes. The metal insulation protects the wires, letting you check the temp. without opening the grill/smoker.

No there is not. I purchased an accessory thermometer in the barbecue section of my hardware store for about $8; drilled a hole to the right side of the dome lid handle and attached. It attaches with a wing nut. Took less than 2 minutes to do this. It's an addition I recommend to provide the knowledge of what is the exact temperature of the smoker. Temperature varies due to outside weather conditions along with how often you take the lid off and peek at what you are cooking. My Brinkmann has varied in cooking temperature from 200 to 250 degrees based on the outside weather variables, and the thermometer addition has allowed me to adjust cooking times based on that.

It does not, there is room for a wired temp prob. This smoker is awesome. I love that its electric dip you can set the temp and forget it. Very sturdy and well built

It does not come with a temperature gauge. You can buy an Old Smokey temperature gauge on Amazon. Send us an email if you want us to drill a hole for the temperature gauge to attach to the top of the lid.

As most have said, you can get the temperature of the internal oven surface. I don't think you are asking this, but just in case you were wondering, you can't check the internal temperature of meat with this since it will only give you surface readings.

Yes it can. The probe stays in the protein being cooked, grilled, or smoked and the thermometer has a magnet so it can be on the outside of the oven, grill, or smoker. It also sends the temperature to your smartphone.

Yes. I bought this and 100-300 degree thermometer to upgrade my masterbuilt smoker. Works better than new. The cord comes out of the opposite side of this unit, fyi.

You may want to check the temperature range of this unit and see if the probe can take the temperature of your smoker. If the range is within your specs and you are able to use the output to manipulate your smoker to increase or decrease the heat, sure why not.

The Masterbuilt smoker is really easy to use. Just fill water tray for moisture, set temperature and time, put wood chips in several times during smoking. Unlike charcoal, where it's hard to regulate the temperature, the Masterbuilt smoker can keep a steady low temp. You won't have to worry about burning the meat. Do use a digital meat probe to cook to the recommended temperature, There are plenty of uTube videos on using the smoker with recipes. No doubt you will adjust and experiment to suit your personal tastes.

The temperature probe is for reference only the auto shut off is the timer. you set the temperature you want your smoker at then set the timer for how long you want to smoke your food.

This Thermometer does exactly that, the sensing part of the set has a smoker probe and a meat probe, It comes with a grate holder to hold the smoker probe in place.

no it does not. it heats up quick and fries quick but there is no way of knowing what temp it is unless you check by some other means.

Don't know. I would avoid choosing this one since it never really gets hot enough in there to smoke meat.

I like mine a lot, however I had to learn how to use it. The digital thermostat is not always accurate. Mine was made in China and is inferior to the earlier models. All in all it is a good smoker.
